Yeah does looks good Steve I'm pleased with it... I'll see if I can get some more pics tomorrow if the rain holds off.

I'm really tempted to change my colour to Corrida Red!, wanted Rosso but the wife didn't like it so went for Petrol Blue, not so sure now! Especially with beige interior.

Petrol blue...

Admittedly probably wouldn't look that good under normal light conditions, I.e gloomy British weather...

Steve.

Cheers Nick,

Any of the interior (front/rear) at night would be great.

Steve.

Oh and sort your Car details out on your profile, jeez you had it long enough 

Finally :-D

Ok Steve. Night shots of the front rear and inside ?

Yes please.

Just interested in what the interior control illumination is like on the front dash and rear console. Plus any exterior night shots you fancy doing. However, anything would be great - thanks!!!!!

Steve.

Interesting (the black bits) on the rear spoiler Nick

Just been having a look around. Wonder if it's just the 280 that has those black bits ? Not complaining now you've pointed them out they look pretty cool !

I agree they look quite nice though.

And home :-)

About time too, felt like I liked the journey with you!!!!!

Congrats, enjoy. Colour looks great.

Thanks Coops. It's been fun... I'll be sticking around :-D

All the Combi versions I've seen have them. Must be something to do with controlling airflow round the back?

I've seen this colour combination on a showroom car, it looks fantastic.

What technique are you going to use to run her in Billy ?

Balls!!! Reverted to the simple method!!!

 

Edit: Should have included...

None, other than just drive sensibly, don't thrash it, and keep it out of Sport mode.

The balls method ? Is that just running flat out everywhere then ! ;-)

Actually I've started using sport mode !

Plan was to keep in D until oil upto temp then use full range of revs in manual mode upto 4.5k.

I've discovered Sport Mode does a pretty good job of that. Just careful not to exceed 4.5k.

Also hangs onto the gears longer which is what I want while in the 'running in' period....

Nice! i'm guessing the brown leather is a better contrast against the cappuccino than beige would have been

I like the brown leather in my L&K

Brown leather was my biggest concern when I ordered it, having only seen it in pics and vids, but "in the flesh" it looks the biz.
