Indeed! Seems to have come around pretty quick considering it's 5 months. Had loads of stuff to break it up and have only managed to buy Cyba tips and Carbon mirror caps during the wait. Just need a rear diffuser now.

Done well to resist mate.

So far I've bought CG Controller, Private reg, M Perf spoiler, M Perf side skirts, Tracker, Silver vision sidelights, Belkin phone holder and customised Carbon plates.

Think that'll do for now.

Nice Daz! I've bought a load of stuff as well but not a Belkin phone holder, could you link us to the one you've bought please mate?

Only just seen this thread (too many pissing off on to this wanky M forum! ), great news mate, excited for you!

Congrats foggy!

Also looking at 1st Sept delivery, been over 8 months.

Hopefully the diff issue does not delay my car, as would spoil the big day.

DazC also bought similar stuff, might buy that phone holder too!

I was thinking about the PPF on my car too (save against the stone chips).
Could you recommend anywhere, and what would the cost implications be??

I'm talking to these guys at the moment:

http://www.invisifilm.co.uk in Cheadle, Stockport

The guy who details my car works out of the same premises. I have used them before for tinting.

Ideally I would like to get the bumper, bonnet and wings done but I think the cost is going to be too much. I think you are looking at £600+vat for bumper, wings, part bonnet.

But as others have mentioned you get a lot of chipping on the sills so could be worth doing those as well.

The problem is the cost though, they cover cars worth £100,000s so people buying those cars as investments don't mind dropping 3k to cover the whole car, unfortunately the costs of the film and service is no cheap for us with daily drivers, i'm still unsure what to cover.

Thanks mate, I appreciate that. Like you say cost is a significant factor but a full detail can cost around £800 so if that's included before they put the films on then it might be worthwhile.

If I don't get a PPF put on the guy there is doing a full detail with Gtechniq Crystal Serum and EXO, all the glass with G1 (i think it is) and the full wheels with C* whatever number is it. For about £300-£400..
