I never realised that. Mine is red stitching.

We are very exclusive! The yellow ones are even rarer

What made you not spec the sabelts in yours?

I park my car on street and today someone has managed to take a good chunk of paint away from my front bumper without leaving a note and on inspection in the past week someone has managed that on the other side of the bumper as well!

It was only painted 2-3 months ago after someone reversed into me

He has a fetish for Brown Leather

Mine will be in the garage while we are living here and then behind closed locked gates when we move back home, first ever new car, I am going to be precious about for like a whole week

The sabelts are available in brown leather too, the main reason though is the sabelts are a bit tight for me and there's no way my Mrs would fit in them. I'm happy with the standard seats though.

The performance pack is good but the only real benefit for me would be the diff, I would have to change the wheels out as I really don't like black wheels. I have a quaife diff on the shopping list but I'm not convinced I need one, it handles what I do very well with the standard one.

Have to say that I also don't really like black wheels but the super sports on my red comp look great only down side is they show the brake dust up really badly

I wanted the tan seats but I couldn’t spec those with a red car!

That's weird! Is this a newly formed italian taste police? This is from the country that used to put blue seats in red Alfasuds. Can't see why tan in red wouldn't look good although I do think the black alcantara sabelts do look great especially as they have the light grey trim on the edges

That is odd Ferrari have been doing red and tan for years.

I wanted the silver wheels but wasn't allowed to spec it, it would only allow the grey ones. Now it's been delivered I prefer the grey.

Any progress on a pickup for you Geeks?

Mine is booked in for heat elements to be installed to the seats on Thursday and I'm trying to get a date for an alarm.

Bungleaio who is adding heated seats for you? I could be interested in getting this added to mine.

[Bungleaio]

Hopefully you've been tearing around the roads with a massive grin on your face for the past couple of hours. We need pics now!

These are the guys doing the seats, they were recommended to me by the dealer https://www.facebook.com/AutoroofsAutomotive/

Promise to do some proper pics tomorrow however picked her up this evening. I am a very happy man! This is literally the only pic I have right now as no sooner had we driven back it was dark. Tomorrow I will go out and get some arty pics and some pics of the inside. I am completely smitten with it

Good lad, enjoy the exhaust! Remember there's no run in procedure for the engines they are good to go.

[geeks]

Am trying to be a little restrained with it but even so it still makes me giggle! Turns out I do have another pic of it when we pulled up at home the wife snapped this one!

There's a theory going around that the ECU is slightly restricted until the miles add up a bit 3k seems to be a step and the salesman where I bought mine reckoned you need 6 to 7k on the clock

And when you get past 20k it pops and bangs a treat!
