And so the wait begins

I have finally got around to submitting my final spec for ordering, thanks again to everyone for their advice, its been really helpful in my decision making process.

Its looking like a late October delivery,

Nice man, I hope it'll go quickly for you.

I was pretty patient with my car until I got a call from the dealer that it arrived to the UK.

Since then, I've been struggling more and more to wait till this Sunday when I'm supposed to collect the car!

Certainly am Chris,

I'm starting with the grille, side decals and boot spoiler, I'm also getting the wheels sprayed back prior to collection.

My dealer said it would take longer because it has individual option

It still depends because my car has individual things as well but the build took less than 8 weeks.

The dealer said they had a kind of slot reserved.

Which is quite funny because I wanted the car as late as possible (for some personal reasons) and got it so early...

I guess, it's hard to make everyone happy
