Why don't you want the flat bottomed wheel?

Primarily because neither myself or the other half could get a confident grip on it as you can with the narrower diameter round (heated) wheel.
The other factor is, unless you are really less than half a turn lock to lock, then it's merely a gimmick IMO.

Very nice ! the waiting is almost finished, now you will have the 2000mile runnign to contend with Confused
I love the red interior, my car as you know is salsa red, I thought the darker red interior would not work, however with the Italian Racing Red, I think it works perfectly, good choice.
Best of luck on a quick delivery,
Jamie

Hi Jamie,

Originally I had an Ivory extended leather interior with Cirrus carpets. It complemented the IIR perfectly.

Airing on the side of practicality and my experience with classic cars, I just know after 10 years it would be a yellow interior and the Cirrus carpets would look dark. There's no keeping the airborne dust and muck out of the interior of a convertible.

I like the camel colour, but wasn't brave enough as we don't have the choice of carpet to match in the UK.

Red was the only other choice to brighten up the cabin without being too bright and staying away from black that, in my opinion makes it too dingie inside.

It's a gamble, and I haven't seen it in the flesh....yet.

My kids say I'm having a few senior moments, so I guess the title is fittingWink
