That is very, very sweet! Love the look of the aero kit. Am I right in thinking it's not available in the US until April 07 and then it's a factory install only?

Will post pics of my PW/B MCS without the aero kit when I take delivery of it sometime next week.....

nope, the aero kit shown above is the JCW aero kit which is only installed at the dealers or the VDC port. The JCW aero kit is available now. The factory aero kit, in the other hand, is not available until later and unfortunately looks like this :

Sorry, I had to get rid of the pictures of the horrid body kit. If the JCW kit is installed at the VDC, how does pricing work as the website indicates it is in primer?
Sorry if this is a newb question...but I'm a newb.

Having the JCW aero kit installed at the VDC saves you a couple hundred than having it installed at the dealer. Jmelrose, one of the member in week 10 production, is having it done at the VDC. You can pm him to see how much it would cost.

BTW, dealers are charging $3,200 for the kit and installation.

I ordered a pepper white, black roof, black stripes, black mirrors pack very much like the picture at the top of this thread. The only real difference on mine is I have the web spoke wheels.

I'm currently on the Maersk Wind and should be going through the Panama Canal on Monday with unloading in California on the 4th. Another week and it will be mine. You can be sure I'll put up pictures.

Having never ordered a car before (just picking off the lot) I found the color choice the hardest bit. I'm not usually a fan of white cars and have never had one but when I'd see this combo driving around it always looked so smart. These photos really confirm it to me.

Gah! Can't wait! Just a couple more weeks to go.
