Congratulations! Is it MT? I bought one last month but with ebony/silver interior although mine had 72.5k miles on it. Looking forward to seeing pics of your purchase.

Well, you can still have some fun with the paddle shifters! Congrats on the car! If for whatever reason, the car has light curbing on the Type S wheels, I suggest getting a bottle of touch up paint for Anthracite Metallic if you want to make it less noticeable.
