I took my 15 y/o son out for more behind the wheel time with the JCW. He's loving it and as a dad, proud he's learning to drive old school. (Manual v/Auto)

Will get pics manana, but blacked out the grill. Nothing major, just tired of waiting for M7 to get their *** in gear for my STB and Ultimate grills, so I did what I could do for now.

If you think CA is hot, you should try Phoenix sometime.

Phoenix is so hot, even Satan summers somewhere else....

Are those Mini decals? Meaning, do you have a Part No. for those if they are?

The dealer said they do not have all black decals.

Yesterday had Hankook Evo V12's installed all around. So so much better ride vs run-flats.

Hopefully tonight i get to try them out on GMR!

I grew up in the Phoenix Metro Area, it does seem to have gotten hotter, so may be Joe is right!!

It was the first attempt for me. I decided to go with Meguiars. Haven't attempted the polish compound and wax yet since I ran out of time but so far I was able to remove some scratches that the car came with when bought.
