Yeah I agree with that too. I tested a standard leather seat back to back with a sports plus sport-tex and the difference in comfort and padding was huge. I only spent an hour in each car but the standard seat was seriously uncomfortable for me by the end of the session. Could be down to my build, not a lot of padding on my 6'3" frame wink

Is there any difference between the padding on sports seats 2 way and the full electric?

Picking up my car tomorrow and whilst I was signing paperwork at OPC Solihull this morning my car turned up on the transporter biggrin

It's going straight over to my detailer once I collect it so more pics at the weekend, nice to finally see Crayon on a Cayman though even if it was filthy and stickered up!

Wow Si. Looks awesome. Think that's the best specced 718 I've seen yet (sorry guys:-)). You may have just swayed my exterior/interior combo. Think the contrasting black wheels are a must. you've got some nice touches too like the blk washer covers too. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you cruising down highlands road - haa haa. Luckily the road resurfacing has just finished last week. Look forward to more pics.

Thanks Ollie, I reckon it'll be a marmite car but for me all the late nights on the configurator seem to have paid off, find out for sure tomorrow ... biggrin

Looks absolutely amazing. As an ex owner of a Fiat Coupe I like the body coloured trim in the interior, too.

I like the black lip on the sport design kit, i really wonder if the bumper is any different than a normal one. wonder if we can just buy the lip separately?

Also is that on Sport suspension or normal Pasm (10mm?)

Must be the best looking car in your neighborhood =]

It's on -20mm Sports PASM. I think it is, we're 3 miles from Gaydon and most of our neighbours work for JLR so it's all Range Rovers and Disco's Zzzz

And F-Types I'd imagine. You're pretty close to me, so I'm used to seeing loads of the JLR employees.

We'll have to meet up once your car arrives! Yes, plenty of F-Types running around, DB11's seem more common on the surrounding roads though.

Definitely. I may see you driving around in the meantime. If you see a white boxster with the sports kit, it'll be me in the loan car.

Oddly I barely see any Aston Martins where I live. Always thought I'd see more given the location.

like the 981's X73, the 10mm difference (vs PASM) doesn't sound like much but it makes all the difference in terms of looking more purposeful and aggressive.

congrats, car looks great.

Stunning. Can't wait for mine which is about 4 weeks away.

I really love the front bumper but wasn't keen on the rear so didn't go for the option.

What other options did you go for

Car looks amazing

Wow. Looks stunning in crayon. The painted trim looks fantastic too. What is your detailer doing to it?

It's just having a single stage polish and Gtechniq Crystal Serum and Exo applied.

You're not in Leamington are you Pinball? I work there and I've seen a white 718 with SportDesign this week ...
