Blimey, I switch out for a few days, wander back over here and this has happened!
At least it’s a proper colour and having owned both polished and now all black Estorils I can say without doubt the polished ones look waaayyy better. I’d go mid grey if they ever need refurbing btw.
Oh, and a tentative congrats Watts!
The 8.5 has a much more responsive engine and better brakes than a TCR. And the best feature - a heated steering wheel.
Well done for making the BIG change you wanted 
Cheers! It's a shock for me too

. I didn't have need to test the brakes but the engine response was just like the TCR but with the pedalbox on, the loss of which was really bugging me.
My little chilly digits are looking forward to some properly cold weather now!
