I found that the ideal spec breached my self inflicted budget ceiling.
I had to delete contrast coloured stitching and embroidered head restraints. With hindsight this may have been for the best.
I also deleted contrasting seat piping, although with yellow, that's also maybe a good thing.
I was on the fence with the build book for a long time. Added it then deleted it, then re-added it, and this was the right decision. It's well worth having £££££.............
I opted out of wing top marker lights because I had reason to believe that the holes were drilled after paint and possibly by the dealer. However a later trip to the factory showed me a bare unpainted body with the holes already drilled. So had I known this for certain I would have had wing top lights.
One final thing. At my indecison stage about the colour, I bought two aerosol cans of paint - one Lotus Saffron yellow, and one Porsche Signal Orange. I painted a small piece of aluminium with both colours and even took my sample to BHM.
At present I'm working on a front valance for my Roadster which will replace the spoiler. I decided to apply two coats of signal orange, just to see what a large panel would look like. I'll post the image later, but it has given me a tinge of doubt. That orange is absolutely superb............................
Should I have been bolder? The moral of this story, is ...... be bold with the choice of colour. Too many Morgans are built with very conservative shades. When you can have any colour, why not be bold?
