Need Photos, and thoughts... DS/W

Dealer placed an inventory order about two weeks back and he threw in a vehicle I had put together... so if I want it its mine, if not, into his inventory... nice deal.

Vehicle is probably way over loaded with "stuff"... and I hope we didn't jump too soon on color... DS/W. No stripes. White mirrors.

Here's the list:
Dark Silver/White MCS
6-Speed
White turn signals
Premium Pkg.
Sport Pkg.
17" Crown Spokes
Limited Slip
Cold Weather Pkg.
Convenience Pkg.
Xenon Headlamps
Rear Fog Lamps
Leather Punch Carbon Seats
Chrome Line Interior
Anthracite Headliner
Dark Gray Colorline
Piano Black Dash
Alarm
Hi-Definition Radio
Sirius ( wife insisted )

I must be nuts!!!! WELL...talk about over doing it!!!

Sure would like to see some photos of this if any has....

Thoughts?????

My friend just got basically everything you ordered in an R53. DS/W, Sport package, premium package, winter package, Chrome Mirror Caps, white turn signals, 17" Crown Spokes among some other small things.
He has black stripes on his, but the DS/W looks really nice. I don't think you jumped the gun...long as you're willing to pay out for all those packages. It's a super nice set-up, but not cheap

He has black stripes with a white roof???? Do they run over the roof or just on the hood.

Hey, that does sound real slick!

That car sounds fabulous by the way...DS and W...that was my second choice after EB, and sometimes I think I would have liked it better.
The options you list are awesome too. You only live once, you might as well have your ear to ear grin on while you do it. Life is lots better when you can do it screaming around corners at warp speed.

I see you are from Upsidedownsville... so that would mean everything you say we should take as the opposite... so you agree, white is right.

I have one crappy picture of mine posted a while back, before the stripes, and I have the JCW aero kit so it looks a little different (...not that you can see much of it in that pic):

That was my original choice but couple of my friends already have DS (but w/black) so I decided to go for a different hue. In retrospect, I should've stuck with my original choice. Oh well.

That combo was near exact of what I configured originally, with chrome mirror caps.
