Well the prototype rear mudguard finished testing today and an initial batch of 40 will be ordered tomorrow. Should be available in two weeks or so. Not such good news with the new for 2016 full Aero screen though, so have ordered the Fairbourne one for mine to be dealer fitted at PDI. After a long chat with Mark Ceronne he admitted that the fuel sender probably was still the shorter one as fitted to Ken's car, although they didn't have one in stock to check. Looks like the 280mm one I have waiting in the wings won't be wasted then, although a shame I didn't bring it with me.

My dealer is having a chat with Mark leddington to see if we can get this thing built the way I want it to be. You would not think it would be so hard since they have already built the exact same car once before.

Yes I saw it, but it seems most of the new parts fitted were one off prototypes cobbled together for the show.

Yet they are listed on the 2016 option list. I am not optimistic that I will be able to order the vehicle i want, or that if i do order it, that i will get it in a timely manner. I have a horrible feeling it would just sit there all summer awaiting parts, or would be full of mistakes. I just have a bad feeling in general at this point. I wonder what the penalty is if I cancel all together? Im that disillusioned at this point.

The penalty is that you won't get an M3W to play with. It's THAT great.
