Well here she is

really, really pleased with the way it turned out with the exterior colour and standard grille and meshes and with the interior combination. Will upload more pics later but here are a few to be going on with.

First impressions. ASM II is really easy and intuitive and even on moderate throttle openings it does shift along nicely. The tech is actually OK, the Garmin seems to work well. Ride is firmer than I recall from the test drive but I am sure I will get used to that. Only not so good things so far, wind noise was a little more than I would like and the DAB drops out very easily and not elegantly (pops and squeaks) but yes, yes I should not be listening to the radio anyway.

Lovely colour combination. Get those red rear lights on ASAP and she'll look even better……..await barrage of abuse from clear rears crew.

Not so much abuse as a barrage of opinion... I'll start it off.

I don't think it needs another colour on the back; the monotone look strengthens the understated look of a gorgeous looking car.

Great choice by the way.

I have to agree, silver is the one colour that really suits the red rear lights.

Nice car, hope you enjoy it.

L O V E L Y smile

Interior is sensational, the contrast between red and the iridium trim is just right; stylish, elegant and colourful.

clear rear lights work very well with lightning silver.

I am rubbish at pics but also I was trying to leave the number plate out for the public ones hence them looking a bit chopped! Paddy can take some proper ones when he does his stuff

I am leaving the lights clear. I still think that red would look better but the clear look a lot nicer than I thought they would and I can't be arsed to change them now.
