I’ll ask on Tuesday and let you guys know. I too spec’d mine with auto dimming to start with, but it was removed and I was only told that it was no longer compatible with the Roadster. TBH, I only spec’d it because the standard mirror looks really cheap and nasty

Mine was spec'd with the auto dimming rear view mirror and as far as I'm aware it's got it. I've not heard anything to the contrary. Also, no waiver for alcantara but it was made clear to me it was my decision and hence I guess, my responsibility. Vast amounts of sun is unlikely to be an issue for my car!

Picked mine up from John at reading today. A great handover .
Despite the wind and a bit of drizzle , I drove back with the roof down all the way.
My face still hurts from the grinning .

Great car, I like the fact you specced lightweights. Are you going to bring it to an AMOC Area 12 meeting so I can admire it close up?

[qwick69]

Where and when and I will try and make it .
Been out playing today in it . Done over 400 miles :-)
The DBS is getting jealous

Area 12 meets on the first Wednesday of the month from 7.30pm onwards at the Crooked Chimney, Cromer Hyde Lane, Lemsford, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, AL8 7XE.

I’ve just started going (I actually live in Bucks, area 10) they’re a friendly, welcoming bunch.

It's ok, not sure I would have gone for the black line round the edge tbh

I think at least a canopy needs to be put over that special area as well, don't you?

[qwick69]

I agree with the black edging, I wanted bright Orange, but wasnt allowed.
As for a canopy, no way. There is a garage that they can live in, I just need to empty it. That was the concession I made to get permission from the better half to buy my new toy

Got the response from Gaydon, and it is indeed causing issues with DAB, therefore you cannot spec auto dimming mirror on the roadsters.. Although I still find it odd as it seems some recent V12VSM roadsters on here have left the factory with the auto dimming mirrors
