Agate Grey metallic paint
Electric folding mirrors
Guards red seatbelts (for a little colour in the cabin)

Rear wiper
Sports Chrono package plus
Multi-function wheel
Sports exhaust
Sports seats plus
Telephone module

That's it - if I've missed anything tough luck
Quite a wait, but then again I waiting 2 years for a Noble

Welcome to the forum. Lovely spec car.

Are you the same G6YOG who is a finance manager from Surrey and has/had a Noble and also has an interest in Rolex watches, travelling, and is an active man on eBay dealing in hi-fi components?

Is that an amateur radio callsign?

All this talk of ordering a new 991 is making me want to order one, too! I'm pleased to see that people are not shying away from ordering well-specced cars. Contrary to good financial-sense, the options really do finish a car - I have always loaded my cars and have never once regretted doing so!
 
Not long now

I am pleased that my spec gains approval, I was determined not to shy away from what I wanted (rather than what I could afford). I am expecting a call from the dealer any minute now, to tell me it's arrived and ask for his money. Let's hope 1st March is a happy day for me - pics to follow.
 
I notice you have gone for the multifunctional steering wheel, did you not fancy the sports steering wheel?
 
Steering wheel

I agree that the Sports Design steering wheel does looks better, but has an additional "stalk" to change some settings - whilst the Multifunction wheel deals with this in a much nicer fashion , hence my choice (cost difference immaterial).

991 at dealer yesterday, visit tomorrow to pay and admire - pics to be posted.
 
Fair point! Look forward to seeing it in grey, so make sure you do upload some pics! It will look fab! Enjoy!
