Very nice spec - interior and exterior is the same as my build, so you have great taste ;). I went with the chrome accents and standard wheels though (personal prefrence and budget). You may also want to spec your car as a GTS and see the price difference - it maybe close as the wheels and full leather spec is cheaper on the GTS and sport chrono and sport exhaust is standard on the GTS. Have fun speccing your car - usually takes about 500 turns;)

Small point but Sport Chrono is not standard on the GTS it's a £704 option. 😊

Why!?
Relay theft taking advantage of keyless entry has become a common theft method. Yes there are things you can do to reduce the risk, but I’d rather not have the risk in the first place as a personal preference.
The Porsche keys go to sleep to prevent this.
Personally I wouldn't spec keyless entry and I think Porsche put the warning with the feature and don't fit it as standard for a reason.

I would still be very careful in any public car park, especially motorway service stations.

Tech is constantly being tested by villains and what might be safe today isn't necessarily safe tomorrow.

Colleagues have had their JLR vehicles emptied of kit by relay theft by vermin who scan their keys as they parked!

Had my Aston emptied of all its contents whilst left in a “secure” Aston main dealer compound over night. Apparently its easier for the dealer to move cars around if they leave them unlocked with the keys in. Apparently their security cameras are “just for show”, their words not mine. They replaced everything really quickly with the same or better, but really not the point. I had an ipod ( yes, i know, Aston infotainment is a bit last century) that had an inscription from my wife and loads of family pictures on it. Can’t really replace that.

In addition I've heard several stories of people, maybe new to "keyless", going back to "check it was locked", personally as I get more befuddled with the passage of time that's one worry I can do without!

based on the comments from my mate with a RR Autobiography (bloody stupid name for a £100k+ car) I'm surprised they made it more than 100 yards without it breaking down.

to be fair, the only things that went wrong with my Freelander were things you’d expect given its 160,000 miles. However his RR was in the shop more than it was on the road.
