Re: Hi from another newbie

Very nice, and a great colour choice! I went for the silver roof rails but otherwise our cars could be twins. I've got skinny 18" wheels and winter tyres fitted now. The rears look ridiculously lost under those rear arches - but function over form. :-[ They'll probably ensure that we have no snow in ...

I went for a 30d M Sport in space grey. Options I went for were the media pack, folding mirrors and ...
