Congratulations - very similar to my spec

I'm moving to Chili Red/Black too as the roads seem to be full of black Coopers these days, whereas Red/Black is actually not that common and looks better with the Aero kit (more of a contrast with the black grilles)

Undecided about having Red or cream colour line - Red is more sporty but cream will match the piping on the black Leather Lounge seats more

Mine's here end of November/Early December too - I can't wait either!

I love the chilli red with black, looks really sporty and you don't see that many around (most around my area are either black, cream or red with white roof and caps.

I was considering the red lounge leather, but after seeing it in the show room decided against it. Looks a bit out of place and i have a feeling the leather will really show wear.

I'm a bit worried about the sports suspension, reading these forums some people have been saying its a bit of a hard ride (is this so much of an issue with 16" wheels compared to 17"?) and considering i commute anything between 60 and 100 minutes a day i dont want a really uncomfortable ride. Don't know if this has been perhaps over emphasized becasue alot of people here are quite old ?
