Absolutely gorgeous!<br><br>I'm finally going to see a blue BDE in the flesh today at my local dealer, then - assuming I love it as much as in photos/videos - it's a case of finding a used one with the correct spec.<br><br>@matt.miles - what optional extras did you spec, if any??<br>
 
Hi Basher<div><br></div><div>I picked it up unregistered as it was in the showroom so didn't manage to spec any extra's but it pretty much had everything I would have gone for, and when you start adding on it get's expensive...</div><div><br></div><div>Everyone comments on the colour first before anything! its gorgeous...</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe one option to consider if your going to use it in the cold is the heated front screen but with the app on the phone I can warm the cockpit up remotely anyway so thats not really an issue either.</div><div><br></div><div>I do like the flat bottom steering wheel but those things are luxuries the BDE seems to be quite well specified anyway to be honest...</div><div><br></div><div>Any other questions happy to share it really is a dream car and so nice to drive.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers Basher</div><div><br></div><div>Matt</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>

There was also an ammonite grey V6S (very similar colour to my daytona grey TTS) and Italian racing red, so was able to compare all 3. The blue is the most striking. <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" /><br><br>In terms of options it only had panoramic roof. At the very least I also want performance seats (heated), parking pack and probably sports steering wheel. <br><br>So now it's a question of waiting for a used one to become available with the right options...<br><br><br>
 
Hi Basher<div><br></div><div>Yes I thought you would be sold on the colour it makes the car!</div><div><br></div><div>I got the nice seats but not heated which I'm not that bothered about i have heated seats on the Range Rover and don't use them that much to be honest... the wife does however so she is happy!</div><div><br></div><div>and I do like the flat bottom steering wheel! Well good luck in your search, I know Maidstone Guy Salmon have an Ultra Blue BDE but like mine its already specified with whatever and it seems NO option can be added as they are all factory fitted....</div><div><br></div><div>Well good Luck again and hope to see some pics of a shiny new Ultra Blue BDE!!</div><div><br></div><div>All the Best</div><div><br></div><div>Matt</div>
 
Hi Matt,<div>I've seen one of these BDEs in the flesh at a Breakfast Club meet - and have to say it's a stunning colour. The matt effect wheels are lovely too. Congrats on your car and enjoy!</div>
 
Hi Matt,<br><br>Dealer called today to say he's found an unregistered BDE in the UK with most of my spec. We're discussing finance options / deals, so I may end up with a brand new one!! <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" alt="LOL" title="LOL" /><br>
 
I also started off looking at used cars. But with 8-10% discount being offered plus 0% 50:50 finance and also being able to include the 5 year service pack, the used cars didn't seem to be such a bargain at the time. Albeit a used car might have had more options than I was willing to pay for, but then I'm not feeling that anything is missing. <br><br>If it's got the spec and the deal is reasonable, it looks like you've landed a brand spanking new one, without the waiting. Couldn't be better! <img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" /><br>
 
Hi Matt. I.ve just picked up my Ultra Blue BDE. As you say is the colour everyone first mentions. Its an amazing car. Like you l love it. Enjoy it
 
Oh Cool!<br /><br />You won't regret it and as long as the finance deal is good go for it... We got 3years servicing included and we didn't go down the finance route so you should get a good deal.<br /><br />Look forward to seeing the pictures... What spec did you go for?<br /><br />Matt
 
Hi Deano<br /><br />Yes I saw your one on here too, they are such a striking colour... Lovely car to drive too and very comfortable for a sports car.<br /><br />I had a Civic TypeR and the suspension was like rocks I loved it but compared to the the FType! No comparison...<br /><br />Just keeping it clean is a mission in this weather!!<br /><br />Matt
 
True Matt. l,ve just washed mine now.Had to do it twice. My neighbours have been out in force. Everyone mentions the colour first,then the wheels. It is a head turner but then all F Types are.
 
Hi Matt,<br><br>Dealer told me that spec = panoramic roof, performance seats, parking pack, heating pack, flat bottom steering wheel. I'll see the full list when I go in again this week to discuss discounts / TTS trade in / etc.<br>
 
Wow, sounds like you got all basses covered there...<br /><br />Good luck with negotiations and hopefully we will see another BDE owner!<br /><br />Matt
