Have I missed the pictures Kizzz?

Nope, i picked it up during the storms at the start of the month and it is still filthy. Once i clean it i will take some pics. I have to say that the Michelin PS4s have been excellent in the rain even more so than the PSS on other cars.

Be great to see it ! Did you put Michelins on or were they factory fit ?

Am I guessing you had AMR wheels put on? Look forward to the pictures once given her a good clean.

My car has been due to go 'on line' on Monday or Tuesday of this week, 29th/30th Jan, for a good couple of months now

I heard from my dealer last week that it may be delayed by a week or so, but I've heard nothing further so I don't know if it's still on track and I don't know if my planned visit to see it on the line this Friday, day after tomorrow, is to be postponed - I guess by definition I'll hear at some stage over the next 48 hours ........


A quick question for those that have taken delivery regarding sill plaques. I know this is somewhat anoraky, but have your plaques been screwed or glued to the treadplates. To be clear, I'm talking about the small AMR plaques themselves, not the tread plates to which they are affixed

Even ignoring the preprod showcars, I've seen photos of some that are screwed on and some that are glues on - I don't get how it isn't one method or the other across the board

For instance here is one that is screwed in

And here is one that is glued in

I'm more interested in the V12, but even on V8s, I've seen some of each - I'm considering changing treadplates but I don't know what will be involved in swapping the plaques

Good luck and looking forward to seeing one in Ultramarine. Haven’t seen one yet and you will have a very rare car! Hope it stays dry

Could it possibly be a £999 Q Option, to have them screwed to the treadplates, thereby making removal easier? -

Exciting stuff sir. Any plans to visit the factory during the build? Hope you've got a fat cigar ready for the birth?
Looking forward to seeing it in all it's glory.

It's very exciting indeed ! Can't quite believe it's finally coming to fruition

If this Friday is still on, I'll be there. If it's put back, depends on how busy I am at the time - I have had the pleasure of seeing my previous car on the line and I'm having photos taken of this one, so if I can't visit, I won't be too upset

OMG - black screws too, so that's 2 options of screw colour available!

Hmm, could it be silver screws for V12 and black screws for V8?

Funny, I checked what my V12VR had on and that had black screws. Peter will probably get a recall notice to have them changed to Green

Just to add to the confusion.

[AdamV12V]

Glued definitely looks better to my eyes.

Could it be glued on V12 but screwed on V8? Seems a petty difference to make, but might be down to different suppliers maybe?
