Funny I hardly ever see roadsters but I see coupes every couple months. Just saw a black one a few weeks ago on the connector. There also seem to be a few si coupes ITP

You need a stubby antenna! If you are parking across two spots(as it appears in the photo) be careful. I have seen a lot of folks get keyed(or worse) for doing so. If not, my apologies...

Stubby antenna and blacked out kidney grills are the first 2 things on my list

It's taking up 2 spots but it's my parking lot...so I feel entitled

and it's really just parking for my distributors (camera just In case though)

Oh yes. I have seen a twin of my Imola/Black roadster on the road(along with many other colors) and many M Coupes around my area (Toco Hills). There is another new owner "AmmarYasirA" on the forums who lives in Douglasville(he got an M roadster). For as few of these cars as they made - Atlanta seems to have a bunch.

Not even going to lie. I saw TWO the day before I got mine IN Douglasville.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Both were roadsters, one was imola/black and the other was black/black

We should definitely meet up!

AmmarYasirA · 11-18-2013, 09:43 PM

Oh, and I forgot to say you have a sweet ride. Coupes are realllly nice. Would have gotten one if there were more available when I was looking in the same price/mileage/options/colors

But nonetheless I like my roadster However I prefer coupes. Yours isn't an exception!

Well for those in the area, anyone planning on attending caffeine and octane in December?

chickdr · 11-18-2013, 10:53 PM

I have never gone to that meet before, but need to one of these days. December seems too cold though

I don't know about that, so far it's been pretty warm... And December is just around the corner.

It's the first Sunday of every month on the corner of Windward Pkwy and Deerfield Pkwy in Alpharetta. It fills up fast, probably have to get there between 6:00 and 6:30 to get a spot. www.caffeineandoctane.com

zgood4u · 11-19-2013, 08:43 AM

If you Moupers's/Moadster's want to get together for lunch on the weekend that would be great! Work precludes me from weekdays. Let's hook it up.

Cheers

chickdr · 11-19-2013, 09:27 AM

Sounds good to me- now to find a weekend that will work... I work every other weekend.

avsbmw · 11-19-2013, 10:15 AM

Congrats! good looking car

that i did not know...that's an early start for a Sunday!

I run a liquor store so weekends are my big work days but the Sunday after caffeine and octane i will be free for lunch. I believe its 12/1

Where does everyone shop for cosmetic parts? specifically looking to get a set of blacked out kidney grills and a stubby antenna? I know I shopped them about 2 weeks ago and can't find the site I was on...

chickdr · 11-19-2013, 11:53 AM

I used Ebay for my antenna - I think it was under $10 shipped. The grills were also EBay around $35. I believe they are more $$$ now.

thats cheap! how was the quality, i usually never buy items like that off ebay because I am concerned about the finish (or for the antenna the functionality).

zgood4u · 11-19-2013, 12:03 PM

I got my black grilles from Turner Motorsports, I also didn't trust ebay. There's a web site www.stubbyantenna.com (Can ya guess what they sell?)

those are the exact 2 sites i was looking for. Thanks!!

dubsesd · 11-19-2013, 12:13 PM

eBay works fine. U can remove the antenna and still get signal.

the antenna website was very reasonably priced, the kidney grills from turner motorsports however... I may shop around a bit for those. I may even try dipping it.
