Buying My First Supercar-Need Help!

Hi guys,
I need some help!I have put deposit on MP4 12c,my freeze date is 19 Dec(i.e after that I cannot change my spec) this is gonna be my(rather, family's)first supercar.

I have specced my car:
Exterior-Volcanic Orange
Interior-Alcantara & Leather Interior(Arabica Brown)
Wheels Light Weight in Stealth
Brakes Carbon Ceramic in Black
Exhaust-Super Lightweight
Carbon Fibre Diffuser
Stealth Pack


The dilemma is that should I go for VO or Fire Black or Volcanic Red for all three,I have to wait 9-12 months(enough time for me become legal to drive ).And any other suggestions are welcome.
This is gonna be my first car.I have fallen in love the way it looks even though I have driven this car for very small amount of time,I really liked the way it handled and the ride is very good for bumpy roads of Delhi.
I am gonna be importing this car to India,so may be it would be the first car there.I am gonna be paying 110% import duty+local taxes for those who are interested.
PS I'm just 17

Just to clarify. You, being 17 years of age, are personally buying with your own money a brand new McLaren?

Don't forget he's paying 110% taxes and duty. If you're interested.

my advice, get this car after a couple of years driving exp, we all do stupid stupid things when we first get our licenses, 2nd is i would buy this car and keep it overseas, some where i can drive it, park it and not wory about it


other than that congrats

Was posting from app, now on mac. What kind of help do you need? If you want to escape the tax, keep it overseas for about 3 years. Enjoy the crap out of it, take it to all the circuits in Europe, then bring it down here.

Thanks Guys.
I am surely more confused now.
I might cancel the booking and wait for a year or two.
This was my first car so wanted something grand.
Lets see...
PS No colour suggestion??
