Thanks Joe will contact them tomorrow, hopefully not far behind.

Spec is BN White, red leather, climate, skydome, red stripes/mirrors, 10 spoke 17", would have gone for a launch addition but really wanted the skydome. Yours looks v nice! I do drive past BM's everyday so may pop in tomorrow and have a look :thumb:

Sounds good! I'm glad I went for the skydome too - I need it in mine tbh, the black dash makes it fairly dark in there! If you visit BM I think you should take some more pics for me!! I'm not gonna be able to make it 'til Sunday  :(

You gonna come to Stanford on the 7th?

If i manage to pop in then will take a few more pics for you Joe :thumb:

Not sure i will be making the 7th as may well be on holiday not booked yet and have this week off so if not will be coming.

BTW forgot to say that black with a skydome will look veeeeeeeeery nice.

Looking good Rich.  It must be killing you having it there and not driving it.
Yes I'd love to have it on my drive but I'm lucky in that I have the 993 out of storage now so that keeps me well occupied for the moment. :thumb:

I think they are much easier to fit when you get the puppy up in the air specially with 17"s on the car. I'd just get them to fit them.

I would have thought the EsseEsse in the middle with you guys either side! :tumbleweed:

All joking aside, I actually think, colour wise, black in the middle with grey and FW either side. :)

Na, best to go for the Bold 'In Yer Face' approach to get the message across; balanced colours with the boldest in the middle! ;D

Can I hire you to do mine??  And there is one other advantage Joe, makes other things look bigger  :whistle:  (seeeeee, I avoided another knob joke  ;D sort of  :P)

Congrats on getting the car to BM  :)  told you you'd get yours before mine!  Can't wait to see you out and about in it  :thumb:

Joe, if you do go and do the lights yourself would you mind taking some photos of location, access points etc for future reference?
