Finally someone else agrees with me on the S leather, oh yeah you did too LMB.
At least that's three of us, so I'm not crazy after all ;)

Personally I'd go for the leather as the radio can always be upgraded later on but the seats are a bit more tricky.

But who cares:D :D

Don't sweat it Martin

You've made the perfect choice :)

The full leather is the best option for the seats...

see i love the red, but the problem on the S is that you cannot have a red trim or red seats

and the all black look inside doesnt look great in my opinion, too dark

Is the red interior not a bit too much on a red car. Just the thought of having a red interior gives me a headache.:D

I saw an EB/White S over the weekend which had the Lapis Blue leather. I have to say I thought it looked great.:)

i really like the red interior, think it sets it off nicely

just think that all black would be too dark

the blue combo is nice though

LMB,thanks for the pics.:)


Eliseboy, I agree with what your saying,but who cares what the interior colour is when your sitting behind the wheel grinning like a cheshire cat. ;) ;)


PS,That would be once you've had the works S conversion fitted.:)

Thanks for your thoughts everyone, I am having my first S test drive tomorrow at 11am, so I will make a decision on....

1) DS with a White roof or a Black roof?

2) Whether to go for the Full Leather Lapis Blue or stick with my original choice of 1/2 leather all black, bit worried about cracking, wear, hot (and sweaty) in summer, cold in winter.

3) Should I upgrade to Climate Control or not?

Anyone have any ideas or opinions (good or bad) on the last 2 of the above choices? and does anyone think any changes now will affect my production date (week 27)?

Cheers

Andy

Here’s my prediction of what’s going to happen tomorrow:
[list=1]
You are going to chose Dark Silver/Black because it just looks so damn good.:D
You will go for Full Leather Lapis Blue, because despite your reservations it just looks so damn good.:D
[/list=1]

Enjoy tomorrow mate.;) Make sure you thrash the ******** off the car.:D

:D Cheers LMB

I saw the same 2 cars that Italian Stallion saw @ Wakefield, Both DS/White and DS/Black side by side, but the DS/White had horrible white wheels on it, so I just could'nt imagine it with silver alloys...

I was impressed with the full leather, looks very nice and feels great, I suppose I will have to see how rich I am feeling tomorrow..:D

Ahhhhh decision time draws nearer

P.S that cars gonna wish it was never born! Let the beasting commence!

DS has it for me now that i ahve seen it in the flesh

i dont like the full leather as much and when i was booting the car around the corners i was sliding all over the place

£230 for the Climate upgrade is a must, i love it to bits and am sure it would hold its value


just the question of white or black now for me!!!!!

2. Go for the leather, I was worried about the vast expanse of blue on the back seat, but it looks great in the flesh. IMO it's good quality too and with some care it should last.
3. Climate is a must, saves all the fussing about switching the a/c on and off all the time to keep the right temp. and the on/off button isn't convienently located for that.

As quoted below in my signature "freedom of choice is just too confusing" It's just so apt I thought I had to mention it again :p
