Cracking photos!

Touring looks lost!

Thankfully, lots of spoilered (correct spec) GT3s around!

I wasn't counting but there were certainly a lot of GT3's. The red one parked beside yours had the front left wheel about a foot off the ground as he pulled out to leave, it would have been a cracking photo from a low angle if I was ready for it.

Surprised you didn't get the extended leather for the dashboard speaker and vent surrounds for the same reason you usually give for the leather dash, it just makes it feel a bit more premium.

I am off all the tat to be honest esp in a CS car, the car was bloody expensive as is for the spec I went for , (£134k), and I don't like a lot of the modern options, most cause reflections in the glass and looks over done, dare I say tacky !! so you add what one thinks would be "premium" and it ends up busy/naff.

1st time I have thought I would not change anything even if I could do it again.

After my GT4 with matching every thing, I feel I have been there done it and now it feels dated to me, I don't think it will date well going forward, reminds me of 90's Ferrari bling :-(

Simple leather with platinum stitching and Carbon keeps it clean but still premium, went white racing dials and red belts to up the contrast, had the big cost full LED lights, PCCB's, Lift and RS carbon wing mirrors, very happy with how it tuned out, will get some Arum Gold wheels to finish it off, if I feel flush the BBS Fi-R's if not just get mine colour coded at Lepsons.

I also have the big cost full LED lights, PCCB's and lift but thought the carbon mirrors were a bit 90's Ferrarri bling.

A new Aston Martin (something or other, I can't tell them apart from the front) followed me into the parking field, he was zig zagging all over the place in an effort to avoid bumps and dips, made me glad I had lift.

cannot remember any Ferrari having carbon mirror options to be fair, bar standard on the ltd models, but the GT2 RS has them so I wanted that look ;-)

I am just off coloured stitching that's all, just personal preference.

It seems most people go with the LED headlights now, is that just a latest tech thing, needed for resale, or is the light actually much better than standard lights ??
I still prefer the look of the standard 'lighter' ones which have always seemed bright enough for me, but maybe next time I'll just have to 'move on' ??

I cannot see st in the dark, brighter the better and the daytime running is 918 style which imo looks cool ;-)

I haven't driven mine in the dark yet so can't comment on the light output. I got them as I think the black trim ring and black internals match the black wheels and black plastic bits and pieces on the body better than the chrome reflectors of the standard lights since there isn’t any other external chrome or brightwork. I also light the four spot DRL’s that you get with the LED lights.

I'm not really up to speed on the various colour trims etc to be honest, so that makes decent sense I guess.

I also chose carbon mirrors on my GT3 and everybody loves them..Mine has got the standard silver stitch however if yellow stitching had been available i would have ticked that box to match my RY car..
