OTR costs should only be RFL and first registration fee. Any other costs request they be removed. And the franchises are required to supply a full tank of fuel, it isn’t a ‘freebie’.

If in doubt about about the sunroof I'd leave it. It was on the preowned Gen 2 I bought and I used it once / twice. The same so far with my Gen 3 this past two years. Think I must prefer a nice and dark cabinYorkshire Mac wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 7:54 pm Thanks all for the suggestions and feedback. The car will be a long-term keep (6 years probably, like my current Audi SQ5) and so I am definitely speccing this for me as the primary focus, not residual value.
Thoughts on the various posts:
Surround cam - agree, this will almost definitely make the final spec.
Other driver aids - ACC, speed recognition etc. I agree with @Col Lamb and @SAC1, these are not needed if you are "driving"
Black - had a couple of black cars and my wife has had one. I know entirely what I am letting myself in for, but when cleaned, polished and waxed there's no better colour. I enjoy spending time on this. 2nd choice was volcano grey, but called in to Leeds OPC today and there was a new black GTS in the showroom ready for collection. Black it is. No question.
Red GTS sticker - saw one today, and thought it was too much - prefer the subtle silver sticker. The red brake callipers and elements of the GTS interior are spot on for the look I am trying to achieve.
Puddle lights - chosen purely because I have audi equivalents at the mo and haven't in 6 years tired of seeing the four rings on the floor when I open the door.
Auto dim mirrors - agree no needed for RVM, this is specced for the wing mirrors. Again, have this at the moment and like them.
Bose - listen to radio, or exhaust, so I just don't need it.
Rails - simply prefer the look with out them. Never carry anything on roof, so not needed.
The main item I am still debating is the sunroof. Originally I was thinking I would not add but car I drove had one, and my wife regrets not speccing one in her car.
One thing I have been trying to work out is the OTR price v the confuserator price. RFL appears to be £2,600, but is there any other costs the OPC add? I have been looking at the cars listed on the "used" website, but there doesn't seem to be any set amount.
Whilst i will have the PDLS by going for the GTS, the one thing I will miss is the Matrix LED. These are simply superb and it's a shame these can't be specified.
Cheers

On the other hand - love my pano roof. Yes it adds weight, yes it may have potential future drainage issues but who really wants to drive around in a dark man cave .
If it’s not raining and too windy mine is open, maybe not always fully. During summer always open unless sun is really blazing and if it’s a warm night it’s fantastic open.
I regularly nourish the rubber seals and clean any gunk that might begin to accumulate in the channels - preventative maintenance.

If you are buying from JCT 600 you won’t get a full tank of fuel, trust me I knowYorkshire Mac wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 8:47 pmNuclear Nick wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2024 8:39 pm OTR costs should only be RFL and first registration fee.

Thank you
Nice spec and congrats on such a low lead time.
As for options, it’s a case of one man’s meat is another man’s poison
