Finally picked the car up yesterday (it's not quite finished yet but I couldn't wait any longer).

Awesome drive home. Managed to grab some images before the sun went in.















Still got to go back to pick my gear knob, gaiters and handbrake up - all being retrimmed in alcantara with purple stitching to match the wheel.

Looks lovely mate, but I couldn't live with that purple dash trim.

Fabulous colour outside but for me the interior trim is a little OTT.

Beautiful car

It does grow on you. Honestly.

It wasn't what I ordered but it's staying (for now).

Lovely car and lovely colour, but I agree on the interior trim it's a little bit too much for me.

Love the interior, plain black is boring, nice injection of colour to remind you it's a bit special. Congratulations dude!

I knew it would be marmite.

I actually specc'd black carbon with a single purple thread running through it. When nick sent me the pics I wasn't happy.
Picked it up and it's not as bad as it looks in the photos. I promise!!

It is a dream to drive and attracts a lot of comments on the colour.

The eisenmann exhaust sounds incredible but the best mod to the car is easily the steering wheel retrim - much chunkier I'm my hand and feels like a wheel should!

Had mine re-trimmed by Jack at royal steering wheels.

Like you said best mod you can do for the money.
