Great looking roadsters! Can't wait for mine to arrive!
Bit of a strange question here.. Why on all the US Roadsters I see does it look like the glovebox has been redesigned? Over here the glovebox is flush and not visible from a top down view - yours seem to have a lip that sticks out? Bit more like a Countryman glovebox.. Any ideas?

I've only seen the pre-production models that the UK dealerships got and they had a 'normal' glovebox that didn't lock. I'm guessing maybe they have changed them all now? I'll post when I get mine, hopefully next week 
Yea not the same glovebox as the countryman but I mean the lip that sticks out at the top of the glovebox looks similar on countryman and roadster.

Looking GREAT. Also you may have the last Roadster built with Recaro's.
Love that dash and can you take some close up pics of it?

Midnight black, red stripes, couldn't be happier!
They're the JCW floormats.....my dealer gave me a set for free with my car :-)
Thanks for sharing the nice pics

I don't actually have those, the post swooshmac commented on had one picture from my car with the standard mats, and one from Liquid's car with the groovy checkered mats. If I had them I'd need winter and summer mats just like I will need winter and summer tyres, the salt and junk over the Boston winter would destroy the nice checkered ones!

I fully intend to have the roof down at least once every month. We did some top-down driving in Canada a couple of weeks ago, at about 5C/40F. Stick a hat on, the heated seats on, the heater at 74F and with the sun shining it's perfectly comfortable. We usually get several days like that over the winter!
Great looking car, Alan.
I have a question for you, do you have insulation on the underside of your hood. It seems like some JCW Coupes have been showing up with a black insulation pad on the hood underside.
I was wondering if the JCW Roadsters were getting the insulation as well.

Question though, does your fan run loudly EVERY time you turn the car off for a couple of minutes? I'm wondering if it's normal for the JCW or if that darn insulation is keeping it too warm :-(
