Hi everybody, my freeze point is Saturday and I just wanted to draw on the vast experience of everyone to make sure I’ve not missed any must-have options. I’m still toying with colours and constantly doubting myself :/
Any strong opinions for options that you wouldn’t live without would be greatly appreciated. This forum has been so useful so far. The link’s below and I’m trying for a modest build that should keep its value but still personal enough for me to enjoy!

Thanks in advance
T-minus 6 days until freeze point

Sensible spec if you have driven an S on 21 wheels and just PASM and were happy with the ride. Personally, I would save money and stick to the standard 20's or even add air suspension rather than spend the money on the bigger wheels.

I’d agree too. Would have air suspension. I drove a car with 21s and without air and felt the ride was not right. You can always add 21s at a later date. (I have 20s with winter tyres and 21s with summer tyres)

Ok here goes…
I might stick with the standard S wheels and spec the £1k leather package instead. The S wheels look very good with the blue colours and the extra leather on the dash and doors will make a big difference to the luxury feel, to go with the now excellent ride on 20” wheels.
Phone charger is a bit of a gimmick but everything else looks bang on. Night blue is nice

Pretty Good spec.
Only questionable inclusion in your options is the Crest on the headrests, unless you have got eyes in the back of your head its a pretty pointless inclusion.
The Spyders looks great but they will be an absolute pain to clean.
If you use cruise control the standard system is what has been around since at least the 80’s and it is a useless constant speed system, ACC is vastly better.
IMO cash is better spent on what you will use inside the car and what you see when you are sat in the car.

I have this interior and I would say it’s the biggest wow factor of the car. Astonishingly easy to keep clean too given the colour…

Thanks everyone so far. Consistent comments on 20” vs 21” without the Air…I did drive 20” just with PASM and thought it was excellent. Adaptive cruise was the one thing that just missed out so I may stop being tight and reinstate it!

Do you think the pebble would stand up to dog dribble from the rear and a new born baby?Jon A wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 11:37 pm This is what I would do with your budget…

I’d love to see a pic of the carbon interior package you’ve got teamed up with pebble if you wouldn’t mind?
I think the black looks good with the pebble but I’ve always worried about scratches
