just got 2 pictures from the freshly finished hardback sport seats.

The seat foams are brand new like the nappa leather / perforated alcantara cover.

In 10 days i can have the first sit in it

Car tied up on the ramp yesterday and today by Neil polishing the bumpers (impossible to do properly off the car) and then detail polishing the rest of the paint.

Once that was out of the way it was badge time and a quick engine oil change before it was back on its wheels.

Making the world a more beautiful place, on Speedster at a time!
This is what LUV looks like in white with RB accents

Colin, Marc, etc.-- Congratulations on another amazing achievement.
Arpad-- Words don't describe my excitement for you. Enjoy the ride

Oh, the badges are beautiful on the white engine lid! Love them!

But i have a question : shouldn't be the "S" closer to the end of "speedster " ? If i look at the rear of 2S or 4S the "S" is much more closer to "carrera "..

Not sure about it but it was my first impression ..

I agree, the 9m team made a great job! I'm happy that i have chosen them to realize my dream car! It could not be more beautiful!

I hope the sun will be with us next week during the first ride through Europe! Pictures coming soon on RL! I promise

Nearly there:

Need to add bonnet badge, body wax, seats, door step trims and one mirror glass, number plates...

A good clean would not go amiss either.

Even the baby seat has been retrimmed to match.

We drew the line under colour-coding the seat body.

Heresy to alter a 9M fit! Mods already and you haven't even picked it up! You might notice that the spacing/kerning after a word ending in "r" will be different than a word ending in "a."

At least it's better than the S fitment on this car...
http://suchen.mobile.de/auto-inserat...165131160.html

By pulling the S off and sticking it closer to the Speedster script you will loose the perfect center-alignment of the text as it will lean towards the left side of the car. I do however agree the S should be placed closer to the script.

Yes, you have to allow for the entire length of the two scripts and divide .. The bottom of the big S should line up with the bottom of the tail of the p in Speedster, I placed mine based on precedent and the scripts on the tach and thresholds:
