Congratulations. Defo a head turner that one! Beautiful 
Thanks All !!
yes very happy , tootled home after the purchase on the motorway about 100miles as I just needed to get used to the thing , cruised mostly at about 60mph and i was getting 40mpg , amazing .
Tried it on few A roads yesterday , the performance is bloody scarry !! just unbelivable when you floor the acclerator , wow.
Took me a few months before settiling on this one, i really wanted an 'S mostly, in either blue or white' , most things on my want list included on this ,
It's an AWD, which was tested out thoroughly on a large greasy roundabout !!
From looking around the cabin i really wanted a panroof which this does not have , but once I'm driving i honestly dont feel this is missed.
Another thing that suprised me - I tried another Ftype with performance seats, i was slipping around too much on these being quite a thin guy ! The standard seat in mine work well for me .
It does not feature a reversing camera which i do want ,
anyone had success fitting an aftermarket reverse camera?

That's a cracking colour and spec. And hopefully some decent weeks of summer left to enjoy it.
I haven't got an aftermarket reversing camera but I believe the favoured method is to locate the lens unit under the boot lip (rather than cutting into the bumper like the factory lenses). The monitor on the dash then engages the same way a factory spec system would.
