OMG - IT IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found out at 4pm today, so raced down after work to take a look. The pics I have taken on the iPhone tonight don't really do it justice so I will go back with my proper camera and take some better ones, but to say I'm very happy indeed with it would be an understatement. partypartyparty

"Q" have done a stunning job on the spec and its looks just as fantastic both inside and out as I hoped it would. I just need to get my brand new Zagato wheels on it later this week.









Here is a rather crude attempt to show what the Zagato wheels should look like:



And finally a quick walk around video which I have uploaded to youtube - I hope you enjoy!

I will take better pics later this week, hopefully when the wheels are on and re-post.

For those of you who missed it, my original spec decisions thread that got me to the above choice can be seen <here>.

Looks brilliant, love the colour Adam. Can't wait to see photos in some natural daylight!

But now I'm thinking again about whether I should get the CF roof on the GT8. It looks good with the Kermit Green. Hmmm.

A few of the interior too, but these really havn't come out well due the poor light and iPhone.

The combo is split Pure Black Leather and Pure Black Alcantara, with Q Lime Green coarse stitch. Custom Q gear gaiter in Alacantara and Leather with Lime, plus a custom Q Alcantara Dashboard, with Leather IP and Binnacle, fitted with the dark contempoary instrument pack (as from GT8, GT12 and N430).

Cheers - that isn't the CF roof, just the original style gloss black roof at £995, still available via Q. The CF roof is of course £5,995, so I was being a bit of a cheapskate, but I am very happy with the overall effect for a fraction of the cost. It might well justify the real thing however on your GT8! wink

That looks amazing Adam. Shame it wasn't in the showroom on Sunday for us to drool over.
(Matt introduced us )
Hope I get to see it in the flesh.

Adam.....Adam !!!!

What a cracker, we all knew it would look good but that's surpassed what I was thinking if I'm honest.

Looking forward to seeing some more shots especially of the interior.

Great stuff, an early Christmas present to yourself thumbup

Terrible car!!!

With 13.3 miles on the clock it's clearly far too 'high mileage'.

You should have gone for one of those grey colours, probably called 'kermit grey'.

However of you get a matching smoking jacket then you will truly be a class gent!

Enjoy.

Wow! Stunning Adam. Congratulations, a brave choice that absolutely works.

The contrast between the two colours on the exterior is fantastic and the black roof was a great choice. AM aren't keen on doing alcantara on the interior of a roadster but every time I see it I think it's worth the risk.

Looking forward to seeing it with the Zag wheels on it. Now for the first drive....cloud9

cheers,

Beautiful - glad its all come together. In photo no. 3 - is that the normal reaction of all those who first see it?smile
Is the stitching on the shifter standard? Hadn't noticed that on the cars I had tested. Certainly gives it a nicer, more finished look.
P.S. unsolicited advice - give the lens cover of your iphone a good wipe soon
