Definitely in for delivery pics and for the rest of the stable. Congrats!
Haha, not yet just yet - still getting there

Stable pics I can do now, but I would only able to get 1/3 of them together as they are all split up at the moment. Logistically it would be very difficult with the current setup. Some are on the other side of the country When the new residence is done, I'm moving them to all under one roof. I promise you pics of the complete stable next year

Do xenon beams really add 6kg of weight over the halogen bulbs?
Thanks Zeus, amazingly it seems like that. They also offer the lightweight battery which I left out. I didn't think $3k option was worth the few pounds. I also need to replace batteries every 4-6 years on all the cars. Don't want to fork out $4k to replace a battery in future Plus I'm not a hardcore track junkie.

Don't mean to be a pain but... With the Carbon fenders you will get a great finish around the wheels (on the fender) but on the bumper and the side skirt the arches will be glued...
Can you order the sports plus without the NAV in SA? Cause a friend here was told no...
Thanks Hani!
The interior is the red/black alcantara (although on my spec sheet it still says leather for some reason, already double checked with dealer and this is in order).

Concerning the fenders, I saw both options in person and I must say the carbon fenders flow far better. Especially where it joins the side skirts. The normal fender doesn't flow AT ALL with the side skirt IMO. You will see what I mean when you see them back to back as I did. Made it a no brainer (plus weight saving ).

Over here it is possible to order sport chrono without NAV. However, options etc. can vary from region to region. I don't know whether your dealer isn't as clued up or informed, but it's definitely available to do that here.

In order for a comparison Mike will have to DRIVE the CGT.
