My baby

Here she is. Sorry the picture quality is so bad but my camera is only 1 megapixel & it works best in bright light. This was half shadowed outside my house and only a few shots turned out well. Still, hopefully it shows how the colour looks different between shadow and direct sunlight.

When people see this in the rear view mirror they've just been pulling over!

Thumbs up

SWEET!!!!!!!!

I would pull over too, AMAZING! Looks Beautifull. I think you just solidified my Titanium Choice! Although Red interior is not an option here for Tit ext. The Red looks great!

Congrats! Lucky GUY!

Check the power bulge in the bonnet. Not sure if everyone realises (I didn't) that it actually is a bulge that is recessed down. So around the bulge is like a groove down into the bonnet. Imagine cutting that shape down into the bonnet and then make a bulge up from that lower level.

You have to love those 18" wheels - one of the my favourite parts.

Your right, the red leather looks great, from the pre-production I thought it would be kind of gimmicky, but it looks great!

Nice!!. I like the titanium. Too bad you guys have to use the front license plate. It disrupts the design.

Do you think the door being open has anything to do with them pulling over?

Cheers and Congrats.

it looks like they are shipping that way. East Moon's was heavily tinted as well... we'll have to wait to see if the US/Can/Euro spec cars come the same way...

Yeah, It's nice and tight, not wrinkled and poor fitting like the pre-production.

Nop, he doesn't have one, he was looking for car cover in the FarEast/Asian Section.

JSG, he must be really tired today answering so much of our questions, just helping him out on this.:D
