R50/53 The Official Electric Blue Owner's Club

Thanks!! I was really tempted to get the Ultralegerras but a few things influenced my choice. A friend of mine (also a NAM member) has them on his R56 which BTW, look better on the R56 than the Konigs would IMO, nobody else around here has the Konigs and finally, I just like the straighter spoke design on the Feathers. Remember, this is only my opinion and I'm not looking to start anything with owners who have the Ultralegerras, I really do love those wheels!! Thanks again for the compliment.

Thanks, it was time for a change. I actually looked into painting the roof either black or EB and the quote was horrendous. Like $1,500, saying to do it right and prevent peeling they needed to remove sunroof, trim etc etc. Forget it, I can (and did) buy a lot of bolt-on speedy stuff for those $$.
I just got some black wrapped headlight rims (thanks Lyle) and I am looking around for some black rims with machined lip or rim. I think that could finish it nicely.

I'm not 100% sure yet but, I might be leaving the "Electric Blue Crew". I have found what I believe is a good deal on a Pepper White (body, mirrors & roof) 2006 MCS JCW. Black interior, anthracite headliner and no sunroof. It's only got 30K miles on it and is in great shape. Price; $21K. P/W isn't my favorite color (guess what is....duh) but I'll get over it, I hope. It's got the tuning kit, exhaust and brakes....the only thing 'missing' is the JCW suspension. Whadda y'all think?

me again
Well after a couple weeks of owning her I finally got around to washing, clay baring, and waxing. By the time I was done it was dark so my plans of detailing and then taking pics was a little shot. I just HAD to get SOME of her right after she was cleaned because i knew with the night time dew comes dust when it dries. I went to the nearest parking garage because I needed light, but I couldn't find my tri-pod so the pics didn't come out that great (dang glare). I had to work today so I couldn't go to where I wanted to get pics in the daylight. More pics to come in the next week or so hopefully. This is her as she sits now, awaiting a few things in the mail =)
