Sorry yeah I meant cloud cover. Funny you mentioned this, reason I was asking is that I was in traffic beside a 13' Lexus GS in liquid platinum and it seemed to turn blueish at different angles then flat silver at others. Looked really good.

Even if you did order the tc rims, it wouldnt fit because of different botl pattern

Looks a lot like Aston Martin Titainium Silver =)




Looks like regular silver in normal lighting and then a crazy mix in the shade. I love it

the BAC was built to be for road and track use. it is "registerable" from what I know...same process as Ariel Atom...guessing the Noble is the same way. they are registered as kit cars. no smog needed. the car is SICK in person. ok, nuff BAC lol.

That's what I figured. It was built to be road legal in the UK, not California. You're going to have to have the lights adjusted or new ones added, bumpers possibly attached, front plate per CHP insepction. Oh, yes you will have to get smogged and certified at a referee station, maybe twice. Not sure if any other restriction apply on where and how far it can be operated.

Edit - Look at their site, it is clearly stated that the Mono is sold as Track Use Only. So forget everything I said above, you're screwed if you get pulled over on the street unless you can alter the condition after you buy it.

I confirmed 6/8 pins on the "10" model FRS headlight assembly, just like Japan.
The German/European Market HID/LED assembly that I have has 7/8. I wonder if it's missing the DRL mode high-output LED mode... and using the high-beam on low wattage on HID side. I need to go see that thing again!

no, there is already one BAC in California, with California plates. fyi, this should be moved to off topic I don't know how!

Really? They changed the bolt patterns on the tC 2? I know my '08 tC has the same bolt pattern as my FR-S.

Finally got my VIN# from the dealer! So...how do I track this gorgeous work of perfection across the high seas? Been googling without success to find..whatever you guys are using to track it.

And not to beat a dead horse, but...

My sales rep states that 10 Series comes with the random POS plain Pioneer deck - no touch screen, no nothing, and that the BeSpoke upgrade is indeed port installed, but that the nav unit is a separate add on. Not quite sure if this is jiving with the link that was posted before:

Any words of advice before I tell this guy to have them add BeSpoke at the port or just forget about it?
