Nice. VERY nice....any mods planned?

You had rain? Today????

worsy · 07-22-2014, 01:02 PM

Thanks guys. I have the fins on order for the front bumper, the dealer forgot and has offered to collect and return my car (300 mi round trip) which is well beyond the call I think.

Rain was saturday, dealer in Swindon plenty of rain down that way.

Good Luck.

It was.

I know with the black, however I have a touch up pen from the E70 and every penny counts

Sean_250 · 07-22-2014, 04:12 PM

Great looking car. Many congrats. Enjoy it.

Congrats Pal! Nice colors!

SpeedN8 · 07-22-2014, 06:23 PM

Very nice! I really like the interior shots. I wanted to do that color but was afraid with a baby.

r33_RGSport · 07-22-2014, 08:39 PM

Congrats on the car. Nice color combo, but I prefer it the opposite.

White exterior with Black interior.

Zipforia · 07-22-2014, 09:53 PM

Very nice! It's like a....blank canvas....just waiting to be drawn on. Go ahead. Express yourself through mods!

Perhaps it's a UK spec thing but I thought the window surrounds on the m-sport were gloss black.

monkray · 07-23-2014, 01:46 AM

Very nice! Would be interesting to hear your views on the features when you have time to try them out.

They are but you can spec them differently. My E70 was black on black on black and I wanted a change.

Edited to say - posted this on the roof rails thread:

In the UK the following applied:

SE - Chromeline as standard
MSport - Shadowkine as standard

Matt Aluminium is an option which I took.

I went out after 10 last night to try out the night vision, dynamic spot and adaptive lights.

The lights are amazing dancing around but I got flashed on a couple of occasions.

The dynamic spot doesn't seem to work in town (with street lights) although it wasn't quite dark so might not have dimmed sufficiently. Out in a small hamlet it picked up a young lad riding his bike on the pavement albeit very briefly. Need some proper dark evenings to test that out.

'funny' you should say about the touch-up pen. I had some nice person open their door on my passenger side so I have just bought a pen to cover over the mark...there is a small dent so that will have to wait for another day.
Why are people so bloody careless when they open doors

Nice ride man. I love the white seats (when new). Unfortunately, I love dark jeans and the light colour seats get ruined, quickly! Interesting that the UK models don't come with the stainless M dead pedal for your left foot. Is this unique to NA units only?

It's an accessory here.
