I have a Cosmos Black M coupe, but if the Oxford Green were on the lot next to it I wouldn't have thought twice about the color choice.

Now for more opinions. The sunroof is great at "opening up" the interior. Without it I get a sense of being too tightly closed in. With it I have a much greater sense of open, light space.

As for the "factory" car, I'd bet any amount of money that the motor wasn't properly broken in. If you're only keeping the car for a year or two, that might not make any difference. But if you plan to keep it beyond the warranty... the choice is clear.

In case you're worried about heat transfer from the sunroof, I've had mine tinted with the second darkest tint available at my local tint shop, and you can't feel any heat from the glass without touching it. The tint had to be the best $25 I've spent.

So there you have it. Oxford Green, tint the roof and break it in properly.

Oh, and did I mention Porterfield R4S brake pads (way less dust and much better braking) and new shocks? Now who wrote that comment about the gearheads here ?

Have fun with it.

Mike
