Agreed old and boring. The color you have is unique when you finish with the mods should look nice.

Yes, after having had it over a week now I am starting to agree that it will be best to keep in Blue, think it looks very nice - and stays more classy looking.

It is booked in now for:
- lowering
- a box which adds a ton of roof mech controls (MOD4 something?)
- spoiler

Then I will pick up some new alloys depending on whether i keep in blue or go white.

Such a beautiful color so glad that you decided against wrapping it. Good luck with the rest of your plans and hope that we get updates when you have something to share.

Thanks. It is booked in for 11th Feb - next weekend. I am looking forward to seeing it a little lower and the improved functionality of the roof.

Does anyone have some ideas on nice alloys for this colour? I don't know if SL63 alloys will suit it well or not. I don't like to spend a lot on alloys, maybe $3,000-$3,500 with tyres.

Maybe these? I bet there are cheap replicas in the UK to get.

Well just had the car in the shop, had the following done:

- parktronic sensor
- air charger circulation pump
- front ball joints
- ABC strut

All done on warranty and car feels much better now. Missed the appointment for tuning as they didn't tell me what time to come in and when I arrived they send it was too late. So will go back next weekend and have lowering and smart top box fitted.

Just bought a set of SL65 19" alloys, hopefully take delivery this week and get them fitted this weekend. Still got lowering links to fit but a bit nervous as don't want to lose my warranty!
