I've got a Lunar Gray XK (20" Kalimnos wheels), and it pops when it is in the sun. When I went to see it at the dealer I had just been told that it was gray over the phone. Then when I drove up to see it I thought it was the wrong car because it was toward the silver side since it was sitting in the sunlight. I've had a lot of different cars - all different colors, but this is one of my favorites. I think you will love the color.

My empty garage will be filled soon
I can't wait until this comes in. Probably in a week or two. Thanks to the forum in general for all of the information that lead me to buy it. I'm a huge DIY guy, and will be an active contributor soon. Cheers!

Some of the simple little DIY jobs include:
- swap out the horribly dusty (and often graunchy) OEM brake pads for Porterfield R4S or EBC Redstuffs
- fit some 15 mm or 17 mm spacers/adapters
- fit a pair of projector logo puddle lights
- swap out the horrible yellow footwell light globes for bright white LEDs
- disable the incredibly annoying and useless stop/start system
Not so DIY but worthwhile mods include:
- lowering springs
- VAP pulley & tune

Thank you!!
What an incredible write up. I have Michelin Pilot sports on my Cayman and LOVE THEM. Unfortunately for me, the dealer installed Toyo Proxes on the car and they're brand new. So that will have to wait. Everything else on that list will be done asap.
CHEERS!
CHEERS!
The first thing you will want to do when you get it is look at the condition/tread/brand of the tyres, and if they are P-Zeros with half tread or less rip them off and replace them with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S asap. The difference truly is night and day.

Also look into a SmartTop controller, which would let you raise/lower the roof (and/or windows) using the remote. I use mine all the time.

I'd add a complete paint correction, protective film and ceramic coating. Upgrade your speakers in doors. Oz, how am I doing on the money spending? (I didn't even mention the custom forged wheels or a set of lightweight Wortec drilled and slotted suncut rotors.)
