My RRS arrived at the dealer this morning - fresh from the factory. Won't be ready to pick up until mid-end next week, but couldn't resist going for a look...

Couldn't afford a painted one, going to get the kids to do it with some stuff we've get left over from painting the kitchen.

I also had to go for the plastic bag seat trim as the leather was just too expensive. Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+

Funny you should say that - I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't order the 5-V spokes instead of these as a NCO as they looked a bit flat and boring in the brochure pics, and I'm not a big fan of this sort of alloy. However, now I've seen them I really like them! The picture doesn't really do them justice, but if you look at the rear wheel on the second picture you get an idea of how they angle-in towards the hub.

PITA to clean though! Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+

Steps, yes probably (especially if I can get Slimer to come out of hiding)

As for the other two, I actually prefer the contrast of the black against the silver, maintains a LR air of ruggedness IMHO, and I think the same goes for the grille. Will see with time though... Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+

Slimer did put a guest appearance in on D3 side yesterday or day before. Looks very nice, all those peeps purchasing new wagons, not fair as stuck with my old ones.

It does look very nice, I like the wheels too but I wouldn't want to be cleaning those every weekend!

Did you go for any options in the end? Nice to see the darker wood for a change. WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

Thanks! In the end I went for the following extras:

Front PDC
Rear camera
Flappy gear paddles
DAB radio
Seat memory
Chiller box

I did wonder if I was getting to the stage where I may as well have just got an HSE, but this was still about £4000 less and although the HSE had a few other extras that did also tempt me, it also had some that I really wasn't too bothered about.

Glad about the wood choice, was going for the walnut at first but changed my mind. As others have said, almost looks black unless the light's on it. Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+

looks great!!! it was a toss up between black and silver for me. this week will be the longest in your life now that it is here! wheels look not to bad, i had only seen the 15 spoke in brochures so went for the v spoke as a NCO, thinking they would be easier to sell or if i had kept them use them for what they were intended!

cheers

Gone: a comprehensive list of imprezas and a Merc ML AMG

So is Stornoway Grey a compromise between black and sliver?!?  CURRENT: 3.0TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey, Privacy Glass, Rear DVDs, Extended Leather

lovely. Enjoy it. My kids are nagging the hell out of me to replace my MY 07 (with Codfathers new wheels on it!) with a new one in white (colour coded of course). I was thinking silver (again) to match my old Merc. I am keeping the current car until next year (Sept or Oct) and will replace her then - silver or white - hmmm? If you see a bandwagon - it's too late.....
