I'm happy with the lift kit fitted on my one, it's come in handy a few times on Aberdeen roads but one thing that has become apparent, the parking sensors are not required and I think the body would have been much cleaner without, also the rear view camera is fairly useless in comparison with the rear view camera on my Q7.

Otherwise it's been fantastic, had a good 250 miles done on Sunday on wet A/B roads, race mode engaged and got some big slides on going along on the old military road (recommended by EVO) and also have a friend with a private disused airfield which let me stretch the legs up to 180mph. It gets there pretty quickly for a tight new motor! 👍👍

Nought wrong with that spec and I think it looks great in white. Relatively speaking I think lower spec cars will hold up better on resale. You never get your money back on lots of carbon fibre trim etc.....
Yep, I remember seeing a black Scud in Graypaul Notts with an invoice of 250K !!!!!
Everything was Carbon, carbon headlights, front and rear pu's, side skirts, front lip, rear diffuser, full underside of car, rear hood.(Hood? I cant think of the word for it. The rear lifting bit with the rear window in. LOL )
Even with todays value blip that car has still lost 90/100K !!

Delivery in March! Awesome! Have asked for factory collection - let's see if I can.....

Confirmed all options including the roll bar, the lifting gear (there is no impact on adjustable ride hight as has been mentioned before) and HELE.

And the dedication plate will read "Regazze senza grassi"

Your probably right - and there may be issues with the tyres (i.e. will need to be on winter tyres) - so will probably give it a miss too.....

Ho hum!

hehe I hope you don't have many Italian women in your life smile

Very envious of those of you doing factory collection. I drove to Marsnello a few years back and loved every second. To do the trip in your brand new car must be very enjoyable.

Is this a wrap or were carbon wing mirrors an optional extra?

They are a factory option but were not "proper" carbon fibre wing mirrors when I specced just a veneer.
Factory were supposed to be developing full carbon fibre option but not sure if this has happened.

If you must, get it changed to "Ragazze senza grassi" at least

Unless things have changed these are a dealer fit and not a factory option.

Does that matter?

Are these lighter or as a previous poster said just a carbon look?

No, but the question was whether they were an optional extra so I was clarifying the position.
