Nice looking ride there Mr Enigma. Why did it take so long, cause you're really just around the corner from the factory. Mine was a special order and it only took 12 weeks.

Mine was a special order as well but it just was estimated at about 14 weeks. It got delayed by a week because of the door sills as the ones they tried to fit were faulty so they had to order a new pair. All in all it worked out perfectly as it's arrived a few days before my 25th birthday. =)

Wow, that's a lot of extras. Probably came close to 35,000 Pounds Sterling On the road.

It was pretty much fully loaded with all the that were available at the time. A little more than that out the showroom, but good guess.

They aren't standard. They are a dealer fit so I had to pay an arm and a leg to get them fitted because of the charge for MBs install.

I bet you can't wait. I'm sure I'll love the options but I'll keep you posted. the UCI is really good. I'm playing music off a memory stick in the glove - I haven't tried the iPod through there though.

I'm not sure about the timings but I was surprised that I had them.

Don't worry, a key is a key - as long as it works!

Yeeeesssss Finally,

I am sure you will enjoy every moment.

You should have opted for the factory collection, which I did, out of this world.
Enjoy your wonderful car.

I plan to keep it pretty stock. I may change the gear stick to the Brabus one but that's something in the pipeline.

Lights should be changed this weekend at the latest. Personalised plate goes on soon as well.
