Now that it's dark, I'm going to try taking some pics of the ambient lighting.

That would be interesting as there have been some pretty negative comments about it.

Looks awesome. Great colour choice. Only 2 more sleeps until I pick mine up too!

Congrats mate!

Looks great. The wait is over, enjoy the ride and let us know what you feel.

Perfect weather to go out on a long drive

Congrats M8 it looks stunning, Hell of a car... (nice House too I was going to ask if you lived near Huddersfield as it looks similar construction to some there, and then I saw it was Yorkshire so I wasn't far off then )

It does indeed look Grand in an understated way, Congrats!!

Thanks again for all the comments. More stuff later, but here's a curious thing...

I ordered the heated rear seats option (amongst others) and was expecting the rear of the centre box to have 2 physical buttons for them. However, instead, it's come fitted with the 4-zone climate unit (which fully works!), see pic. At first I assumed they'd somehow mistakenly configured the car with Seven Seat Comfort pack but that's not the case as there's no third row aircon nor power folding head restraints. However, the cooled glovebox is fitted. Go figure.

(It goes without saying, I'm delighted!)

That is brill. I have ordered the rear heated seats with 2 zone so hope mine is the same. I will be delighted too if this is the case.

Hope this is the case for you too.

My word!! that is one good option then, for £300 you get heated rear seats + 4 zone climate, wow!. I'm not getting any use out of my £300 Apple CarPlay, so knowing this now I would most certainly swap the two if ordering again.

From what I can see on the price list, 4-zone climate isn't an al-a-carte option, only available with T8 or as part of Seven Seat Comfort Pack.

I wonder if its the easiest way for them to integrate the controls for rear heated seats, a touch screen just for the heated seats would look a bit odd.

Edit: - in the MY207 price list, the option is simply described as 'Heated Rear Seats - outer positions 2nd Row'.

Couple more pics this morning.

Does anyone else think that the black radiator grille on the Momentum actually looks better (at least against lighter paintwork) than that of the Inscription?

Agree, you need to contrast. Glad the Osmium grey isn't any lighter, or the definition between our silver grill and bodywork would start to get lost.

Your black grill and silver looks great.
