Gorgeous pics, sounds like a great time. Beautiful country. Car looks great, don’t see many silver ones - seems around here they’re all black. Funny to see a RHD one.
I too dig the grille, and the window trim wrap looks great - I think on a silver car the contrast works, on a black car I tend to think it looks too “murdered out” (IMO). I think the rear trim and badge look OK on yours.
I LOVE tint, do every one of my cars. However, I’d not do it if local laws prohibited doing the front pair of windows - it looks REALLY goofy (to me). Sorry 8-). Can you do the fronts?
I too think the OE supsension is a bit crashy, and definitely stiff. I tend to lower all my cars, but this one I think the ride height is spot on (not a fan of slammed cars). Handling-wise, yes these can plow - however, I firmly believe one merely needs to modify their line / technique to alleviate that entirely. I’ve found the handling to be quite impressive, only in rapid transitions do I feel the heft and even then it’s not tragic. In short, me - I’d save my $$$ on coilovers but that’s just me.
I too just took mine on my first roadtrip last weekend, up to VT with the wife. Using no throttle for 2 days and then 200mi highway / 100mi backroads, all cruising @ 90 (hwy) / 60 (bckrd), I averaged 15.9mpg. Crykie. I thought my 11.9 ave was bad when I’m alone, and hoped the wifely MPG would have fared better. D’oh.
