Default Arrives Tuesday!

Hello all, just joined forum as I've been in the decision process for months and after walking into a dealership and spotting what I thought was new turned out to be a 2015. Convertible S with only 6400 Km's and plenty of warranty it was too beautiful to walk away.
Cant wait till Tuesday.

Sorry having trouble loading pics..

White with black interior and I believe fully loaded.
Searching forum to see if it's possible to add side sills. I'd appreciate any feed back on this if someone has done it.

Thanks, John

Yes, side sills can be ordered and installed. You have two options: MY2014-15 sills (properly proportioned , IMO) and the MY2016+ (larger and more flashy). Actually, I prefer the sleek look of the car without the sills, but that's just personal preference.

Congrats and welcome. Fair warning when you get it they won't be able to pry you out of it with a nuke. You'll be tempted to sleep in it.

Worth every penny.

Congratulations! I wouldnt get the 2016+ sills. I have them on mine - they stick out too wide and make the car look too fat, you have to throw your legs over them when getting out, and the water and dirt sits on them and makes mud. I like the earlier version better, wrapped in black.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the advice regarding the sills. I do like the smaller ones. However I think I'm going to start with a legal tint on the windows, black power vents, 3m film on front and mirrors and my seat hoops are silver so wrap in black or carbon fibre if its possible.

Is everybody just ordering these new from the factory or is there a good aftermarket or online vendor to get them from?
