Placed my order today....

Well, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted, but had a few questions before ordering. My intent was to order a Pepper White Clubman S. That changed, though, after seeing a Chili Red Cooper with a Black Roof. It looked really sharp and it was the color combination that my son was lobbying for. I found myself going back outside, comparing it to a Pepper White Clubman a few cars down. In the end, I decided to be less conservative and ordered the red. My cars tend to be white or some shade of grey, so this is notable for me.

With the change in exterior color, I also changed my interior choice. I kept the Black Lounge Leather, but changed from the cream color line/oak trim to the rooster red color line with piano black. I am hoping this is a good color combination. I was a bit hesitant going with the red color line because of the white piping on the seats. I thought the cream would be out of place with the red exterior. Any thoughts on the this combination?

Other options include: AT, Premium, Sport, Cold Weather, iPod/BT, Sirius radio and R112 wheels (JCW).

While I wasn't expecting the color change, the process and the dealer have been very good to deal with. I opted for the dealer a bit further away, finding them more professional and engaging. Now, the wait begins. I appreciate all of the assistance.

Hee hee, sounds just like me, went through about 6 versions of my first choice for a build then completely changed the color after looking at a few firsthand at the dealer and seeing some on the road. A few posts here on NAM also helped to change my color choice.

That said, I too then changed my interior. Then other options had to change due to color. Took two trips to the dealer just to touch and feel all the options, had to see them in person. Took me over 20 builds to get it just so! Now the wait....

Congrats and may your wait pass quickly!

Congrats! Wow, what a turn of events regarding color. The red is going to look great, you won't regret it, IMO.

How long is your wait?

Congrats again,
Terry

Thank you for the responses

I receive the production number today and my MA thinks the car will be here by year-end.

Decisions, decisions! Isn't it cool knowing we can really dicker around like this on what we get? You can't do that with a Honda.

Enjoy it man, and happy waiting... it will arrive and you will enjoy it!
