Mental but fair play for having the balls to just go for it. I know by the pictures you will not be disappointed!
Honestly if I had the time I’d probably have flown over and looked at it but it’s been a stupidly busy few weeks. I have faith in @mcma1 and my own eyes/decisions/tastes! :grinning:

Currently being PPF but detailer sent me this picture. You can see the colour a little better. I am probably nuts PPFing a used car, but, hey ho... fingers crossed. Countdown is on though. Plated moved across this morning so it'll have my plate ready. I do plan to run it plateless of course :grinning:

Springs and spacers - job done!

Only messing, looks glorious! That’s a really nice colour too - would it be similar to the blue you can get in the i30N?

It’ll be more white in the flesh I suspect. I’ll not know until I see it on Thursday though lol!

Just trying to get a perspective on colour. Will be visiting up your direction a few times over Christmas so will take a little snoop past... :p:eyes:

Awesome. Genuinely pleased for you and looking forward to seeing more photos and hopefully it in the flesh at a Cars n coffee in the future.

Love the fact that the colour has proper heritage.

Did you know that before purchase??

You'll see it around for sure. It's a daily :grinning:

I honestly had no idea about the colour. The main choice for this car was the unreal spec it has. It has every single MSO option available (other than the MSO Seatbelts) so it was a real gem of a car. The colour was an added bonus and it's a really lovely heritage for it.

For anyone reading who doesn't know -- the colour was created by Bruce McLaren's daughter. It's in homage of him, obviously, and the name comes from where he won his first race in New Zeland and then a combo of their first home -- it as white with blue doors so the daughter wanted white/blue combo some how and the MSO team came out with this. It's exciting @da.murf -- This is the most excited I've ever been for a car.

FlyBe are a bunch of ****s. I paid for 1A/1B for @mcma1 and I - I check in and my seats get changed to 16A/16B -- I called them up "oh, that's weird, it must be a problem on our side, just tell them at the airport" FFS. Useless.
