guess you need to drive diagonally at start and end of ramp to avoid the scratch.

He can always go backwards!

my friend's car is really low, he has to drive diagonally and ask his passengers to get off whenever he needs to drive on ramps.

hey i didnt know u could get anthracite headliner too! how much was it?
cinammon looks better with black .. thank god i like my oyster, if i got a combo that requires black and didnt get it i would shot myself

ur car looks very 'executive' !

grimlock · 10-03-2010, 08:15 AM

Hi grimlock. I originally ordered oyster as well but had second thoughts as I have two little kids. Thought cinnamon would be easier to maintain. The headlining was 4700hkd. I was worried it would make the cabin claustrophobic but not the case. Very happy with it!

kfiend · 10-03-2010, 10:07 AM

I'm away till mid oct. My car is now stuck at 18xx.

Hmmmm...Happy Valley, I will keep my eyes out for u!

chiver · 10-03-2010, 10:11 AM

Haha only ur car and mlai are very recognizable! I actually don't live in happy valley , just running a errand!

b4 tax right?
my other choice was also cinammon, but it doesnt go well with my car color!
i am single so i can 'afford' to go oyster ..
black is more sporty on the inside.. now that u mentioned it, is it claustrophobic? or does it feel like a cinema
but no matter poop or dirty hands wont affect u now! haha ..

wow! .. thank god i didnt want it then! .. or i would kill myself now

the inside liner is very easy to get dirty, i am getting scared now of suspension mod, when they have to rip through the rear comparment .. i can imagine those blackened hands and my oyster cloth

juztinl · 10-03-2010, 11:55 AM

do they have to take away your interior to do the suspension work??
