Went for the first look at my new car. Still a way from it being ready with dealer fit stuff, ppf etc still to go, but the excitement is building!

Had a multistage & ceramic coat applied to mine - to be parked up only for dry sunny days over the winter whilst I potter about in the UP!

Looks amazing, if you don't mind me asking how much did the treatment cost and where did you get it done?

Ross, looks fabulous. What colour interior do you have and calipers?

Thanks Ian, it’s Argento inside, and silver calipers. Window surrounds and some silver bits from inside are being changed so satin black.

It’s still got Q stuff to follow that there wasn’t time to do on the line. I went heavy on chopped Carbon! So it’s waiting on wing badges, sill plates, full length waterfall and the door bars.

Looks brilliant Ross and hopefully it's ready before the weather turns really sour. And with sports seats - yummy !

Thanks Christian. Fair to say I was hoping to have it a little earlier, but it's a long term car for me, so I'll have to take the nice days when I get them!

Lightweights were the only option, if for no other reason than my head rubbing on the roof lining with the regular seats.

I agree with the lightway seats. I can't fit in the Roadster with normal seats either, hence the lightweights being the only option. Looks fantastic.

Great little run from Kent in the sun down to Birling Gap cafe (whilst it's still there) and Beachy Head cliffs.

Sounds great. I'm guessing that you've replaced the OEM secondary cats with the 100 cell cats leaving the standard manifolds with their integrated cats in place. If you change to manifolds without cats I suspect it will be deafeningly loud.

Yes Pete, I replaced the secondary cats with 100cells. I can't imagine how loud it would be by also replacing the primary cats.

Been given a DB11 for a few days, so took the Vanq S out for a back to back comparison! Will do a write up next couple of days. Still have not changed my mind, turbos are evil, but the 11 is a great car

filled up with fuel, whilst waiting some t**t reversed into the front of me, didn't do any damage as left the handbrake off, asked them what happened and the driver said he heard beeping but thought it didn't mean anything!!!!
