Bojasim,
Nice cars, We're visiting my father over there in Qatar in April. Maybe you can give me a test drive in your cars... when we're there.

tonyeck,
Your JCW Aero kit look great. Wished I had the insite and ordered it! Your badge kit look great with the Chili Red.
Mickcooper_s, being a PW/B MSC owner, I like your color choice! I am getting the bonnet strips installed next Saturday. Meanwhile I can just look at your pics.

Yeah it looks great with the beltline and the grill blacked out. I was hoping to see ig the JCW vented style sidemarkers would be a AMVIV.

Is the front of your car pitted? Or just dirt?

It is dust, and bits of cotton that came off when drying. My Macro lens and bright sunshine really brought out the dust particles.

Here's a picture of my new 2008 Astro Black MCS, Topper 2, brought home Friday, replacing my wonderful 05 Jet Black MCS, Topper, who "departed" way too soon.

Thanks! My g/f took the pic and appreciates the compliments. She's turning out to be quite the photog. I'm looking forward to all the pics that she's gonna take at AMVIV. :0)
