BM will be pleased to know that I'm leaning towards EB/W with magnesium trim.

Alternatively I might go CR/W again but with magnesium trim.

Shamster - few questions!

Shamster, this is off topic I know (sorry but I've booked my car in to have the squeeks/ticks from the centre dash portion sorted at our dealer, and they've said they want it for 2 days! Is this how long it took them with your car? + has the padding etc that they installed done the job? - or just moved the noises around somewhere else?

Dave - that seems about right. I actually let them have mine for longer but they will more than likely be taking the complete dash out and installing the padding.

There is a road that I used to show them the creaks etc from the dash and also to se how well the work had stood up. We use it on our Maniacs runs and it is very twisty and moderately bumpy. It did take a few goes but in the end they did a great job. My creaks were coming more from the LHS rather than centre.

Actually I've just realised - if I was to go EB/W then I will have done exactly like BM - from CR/W to EB!

EB/W is great but you do need the white x-lites to make it look fab

MINI, RX8 and MX5 - Done those............. It's now TTime

I told you not to go public about the dressing up kit

As you already know I have signed up this afternoon.
Spec as already discussed. I still have the option of swapping the wheels to R90's....If the powers that be release the funds She did come in quite useful actually...sat there frowning at the price and the dealer went through the order and knocked some money off....result

Anyway it is a week 32 build due to them on the 18th Aug.
Can't wait

I did
I had a good play for half an hour in the demo car with my CD's and thought that on balance it was as good as I needed in the car so added it.

On the subject of the demo car...looked like it had been on a rally....I wonder who got it in that state....

Wahey! Managed to spec an S without leaving too much off...
  • Solid Black (probably have roof sprayed yellow to keep you guys happy )
  • Black/Blue half leather
  • CHILI pack
  • Auto Air Con
  • Wave Radio
  • CD Changer Prep
  • Magnesium Door Panels
  • DSC (may leave this off... undecided... it only works twice eh Martin )
  • ISOFIX (just in case lol)
  • Tinted Windows (will do fronts to match)
  • TLC

Have I missed anything important... wanted sat nav but will probably go aftermarket for that.. Also wanted X-lites, but CHILI pack got in the way... wonder if I can spec around it
