Hey everyone, new to the forum. Have an S3 on order from Atlanta dealer, although I actually live in Dallas, TX. I’m super excited for it to arrive. My S3 will be painted in Lamborghini Viola Parsifae. It’s was a pain to get this approved but my dealer helped out a lot with it. Morgan would not do an Owl logo like on their prototype, so I got one custom made for when the S3 arrives.
My sales guy had told me a month ago about US cars having the driving lights relocated in the middle. I ordered the aux lights and he said they would probably have a kit where they could put the lights in the original positions after it arrives. Not sure though. The additional amber lights were not mentioned, but I’m guessing he just didn’t know about them. Welcome! Hope it all goes well.

Thanks! I’m looking forward to the experience. My last fun car I had was a 992 Carrera S. This couldn’t be more different 😁

I have to say the headlight configuration for the US models works better on the Super 3 than when they did this to the M3W. The grill area looks a bit blank and aesthetically needs something, so the fog lights filled that need for me. However, I do agree with the comments that it you need to have something that indicates the width of the vehicle. We'll see what options pop up as these start to ship.
As Morgan is still busy filling the backlog of UK orders, they may not be in a huge rush to rush to start filling US orders. Between that and meeting US import regulations. I guess we get them when we get them.

By the way: I am more a 4 wheel man (in the morgan world) so "owl logo"? The owl logo is something MMC put on their development cars only, it harks back to the days when there used to be a stuffed owl sitting in the rafters of one of the assembly bays.

By the way: I am more a 4 wheel man (in the morgan world) so "owl logo"? Yep, Rog G is correct. It was on the coral colored prototype S3. Think of it as their "skunk works" logo. MMC gave a hard "no" when asked about that graphic on my vehicle. I wanted a yellow one for my build, so I just had one made and will install when I get the car.

Rog G and Warren99 Thank you for the informations.  I didn´t know I didn't know that and I hadn't discovered the sticker yet either. Warren99 I hope the owl/ protptype sticker is a good omen for you. New types of vehicles and prototypes are sometimes not so different from Morgan.
