If you want to see a picture of the Red Glow Pearl on a Tuscan Vert, have a look at Peninsula's website.

if you don't like the mondeo stalks ask them to fit the alloy sleeves

Mellow yellow - it's easy - I specc'ed mine this last weekend (and can't stop talking about it). Since you're going for the "S" pack, there aren't really any options - just full hide, which I thought was worth having. Colours/leather/limonta/carpets seem to take forever to choose (or was I just choosy) - but whatever you get, you'll just love it.

I'm not sure if the factory can do alloy sleeves for the indicator stalks, so didn't think to ask!

When do you spec yours, and when are you expecting it to arrive!

Richard.

Placed the order yesterday, expecting March delivery aswell. Went for Red glow...looked at pic at Peninsula thanks...specified ally stalks as per Tamora/T350 (£100 extra). Also asked for Gold badges (don't know if I'll get them). Not happy with that stubby radio aerial they have stuck in the middle of the boot...I've asked for it not to be fitted...some guy spent ages designing the curves on the boot. I'd prefer to listen the engine rather than Terry Wogan anyway. Like REJN can't wait to start running her in and the nice weather!!!
