It's here!!!!! - C**p pics within!

[drb5374]

Well we eventually got the car yesterday, even though the snow was falling. :D

As soon as i got to work, the grille and wheels were swopped and i took a couple pics on my phone.

Hopefully get a few good ones this weekend once i get the wax on it...would have done it today, but of course the other half is away to work in it. :(

Anyways, car is very, very impressive, though i have a list of 4 problems so far....front number plate is cracked, all lights(front and rear) mist up?, there is a chip on the bonnet which is deinately NOT a stone chip and there is a distinct rattle behind the speedo. Hoping the lights are normal and the other bits can get sorted ok, but i have a feeling i'll be getting only a touch-up stick for the chip.:rolleyes:

Nice motor, i like the colour and indeed it was the first colour S i had :cool:
Nice wheels too :)

[The Dogfather]

Always nice to pick up a car in nice weather, I collected my first MX5 in a blizzard.

Good looking motor ;)

[Ivano]

Another nice choice of wheels, but i'm bound to say that!!!

[AndyP & Lenore]

Very nice.:cool: :cool:

And very nice wheels too. Obviously.:D ;)

A.:D

[drb5374]

Cheers guys.....wheels really do set the 56 off. :)

Missus has been texting me all day, saying how in love with it she is. lol And funnily enough, she's working down your way at the end of the week Ivano.

Seen as the sun is out today, i'm actually hoping for a wee drive later on and get some decent pics, so will update the thread accordingly....still need to get to grips with the SLR. :o

[Craig]

Nice colour... that was the colour of my second R56S. :D

those wheels suit that car perfectly. :cool:

best of luck with the car.

The misting did happen with my car, it did disappear eventually, I wouldn't worry.. :)

Car was already as dirty as, so a quick wash then try out the camera...

Sun better be out this weekend!!! :D

[KenL]

Very nice, those wheels really suit the colour of the car.

[AeroJonny]

Lookin good :)

[drb5374]

Many thanks. :cool:


Trying to drop a few hints for the JCW bodykit, but at the moment i think they are going rather unheard. :rolleyes: :D

[FergusM]

Love the colour choice....


...but then I would...lol...

[N12 JLK]

nice car:) :)

[RyanK]

Very nice car, the wheels set it off well!

I thought the 3 spoke wheel came standard with the S?

[KenL]

I thought the 3 spoke wheel came standard with the S?

Nope. Leather 2 spoke, 3 spoke with CHILLI.

[ajamesj]

Lovin the colour hope the weather turns better soon

[drb5374]

Cheers lads! :cool:

Yer, as Ken says, just with the Chilli pack for the 3 spoke wheel....which does look better than the 2, but it's really not bothered me. :)

[RyanK]

No your right there, the 2 spoke looks good aswell! One fine car there...R56's are the muts in my opinion

[illegalhunter]

Great looking car, needs a chrome scoope

[drb5374]

Thanks. :D


Deerslayer, i was actually thinking about painting the scoop all black? I painted a chrome grille i had laying here and that's worked all right, so figured the scoop may look a bit better...

[Duncan Stewart]

:D Very nice, enjoy your Mini :D

[drb5374]

Thanks fella....i am. :)
