Congrats - a long wait indeed, but well worthwhile. It is absolutely stunning in Red Lion! 
Love your little personal touches such as the red "S" on the seat headrest embroidery too - very nice. A perfect Xmas present to yourself
Thanks for the comments! Yes, it's a first for a roadster with the sports plus pack interior, as far as I know anyway. Love your little personal touches such as the red "S" on the seat headrest embroidery too - very nice. A perfect Xmas present to yourself
Thanks Adam for all the help on the specs, you did a lot of the hard work when you were spec'ing Kermit. The seats look great but they're going to look better once the new ones are fitted. The red "S" will still be there but there's a subtle change to be done. I'll post pics when they are done. The rotaries are still to be changed as well, to black with the red detail.
Work in progress....
Cheers.

Congrats on the car, looks stunning. Interested to know about the rotary change. I enquired about changing mine from silver to black and was quoted £4K....Thanks Adam for all the help on the specs, you did a lot of the hard work when you were spec'ing Kermit.

Why the seat change ? They look fantastic as they are ! Thanks Adam for all the help on the specs, you did a lot of the hard work when you were spec'ing Kermit.

Not sure why you would be quoted so much, the black rotaries are on the options list and I wouldn't have paid that for them. I refused to pay for the red stitch on the steering wheel because I just considered it extortionate but lots of other people have it. Who knows!
The seats are very nearly spot on but there is one of the panels on each seat that's not quite spot on. Apart from that I agree, they do look good.
Should all be sorted out very soon and it'll be ready to go.

I suspect it’s not just the rotarys and it’s th switch, plus the electronics. Be interested to know what you are paying for essentially the same upgrade.I’m going to find an alternative option such as having them painted.
Yes, you're correct, it needs the ski slope out and the whole unit including the electronics changed. The alloy bit can't be changed by itself. I assume it's because you're buying new units completely and paying for anodising rather than having yours anodised or buying them as part of the car purchase. I'm probably paying it as part of the overall cost.

It really is a super spec - a lot of thought gone in to it and it’s paid off ( although I love red cars ) . Is both the Alcantara and Leather obsidian black ( sorry may have missed it on the thread). Looking forward to seeing the rotaries - black face red lowers ? If it’s a Q car why is the dealer having to sort the rotaries out for you ? Does that mean new controllers and rotaries then - a bit of cost there ? Bet you can’t wait to pick her up ? Both the leather and the alcantara are pure black. The leather is Caithness which is the higher spec after I read that some folks weren't too happy with the standard leather.
The rotaries are black anodised with a red ring around them. Not sure how they do the red as I've not seen them in person but it looks almost like a red o-ring around the circumference in the photos I saw. The dealer is doing it because the factory didn't have any when the car was sent out.
Can't wait to drive it, the noise of the decat'd exhaust and open valves with the roof down is what I'm looking forward to most.
Cheers.

You will love it. The decat version is so much better and this time of the year it sounds even better with the cold weather. I liked the noise of ours before but now..........Cheers.
