Impeccable choice of specification @Lisa!
Looks like our cars were separated at birth :friends:

Loving the roof rails - looks like you might have the pano-roof as well? And those supersports seats - you won’t be disappointed with them!

Roll on Tuesday, and welcome to Team Daytona!

@Lisa - very nice motor you’ve got there, and you’ve top-trumped me with the matrix headlights :thumbs up:

Let us know your first impressions next week! Friendly bunch here so looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
 
Nice @Lisa. ! Another Daytona on the forums is no bad thing, it's also the fastest colour :) Get some more pics up when you've collected...

Oh no ! I’m a bit worried about mine as I’ve read diamond cut alloys are expensive to refurb. I’m thinking of talking the gold after care package , including Alloy wheel protection, 18 refurbishments allowed in 3 years. Did you get yours repaired ?
 
Looks stunning & great choice on the alloys - suite the car colour perfectly :icon thumright:

Beware if you do, some packages exclude diamond cut wheels

It was the business manager I spoke to and he assured me it included diamond cut alloys, he did say they can’t get them looking 100% but close. I was of the understand it’s a special machine needed to refurb them and there isn’t one over here so need to find out a bit more.

They will only smart repair them and there have been some diabolical examples on here of it.

Save your money on the alloy protection, get the tyre protection which I regret not getting. A refurb is normally around £120 a wheel for a full refurb, but keep in mind a diamond cut wheel can normally only be fully refurbished twice before the can’t cut the face any more and the wheel needs replacing.

Be very careful of kerbs.

Good advice. I only got the cover as I negotiated it as part of the deal. The cover I got is a combined tyre and alloy policy.

Today is the day, lovely looking car with great spec, LOVE the alloys.

Top tip, in case you aren't aware: Make sue you reverse into parking with passenger side nearest kerb, and have mirror set against that side, so mirror drops down to kerb, to save kerbing those lovely alloys :hubbahubba:
