Discussion
So after taking delivery, and a number of hours of prep, here it is
]
Washed with snow foam, shampoo with Swissvax, dried with microfibre towel, rub down each panel with Swissvax cleaner, hand wax with Swissvax best of show wax. (The neighbours must have thought I was mad rubbing each panel with my bare fingers and wax), each wheel taken off, cleaned inner arches and coated, washed wheels, Swissvax cleaned, waxed with autobahn and tyres coated, Swissvax autobahn each brake calliper. All glass polished.
Just got to protect the leather with Swissvax leather guard.
Ready to put some miles on it and enjoy. The ipod / Premium audio is great sound. It will get even better as the speakers and sub are run in.
Also having carbon splitter and defuser fitted after Easter.
Cheers,
Ian.

Ian, top job, the mutts nuts
Thanks guys and again to Francis for providing great advice for looking after and protecting the paintwork etc.
I understand the mirrors where increased in size due to new regulations, although I didn't have a problem with my older 4.3. I'm sure if there was a company who produced a door mirror in carbon the size of the older 4.3 mirror, that would be so cool, and would sell well to owners of 2009/10 onwards cars. It would look great too to balance the look of the carbon splitter and defuser for V12 owners and aftermarket V8V customers. Any takers.
Cheers,
Ian
