Beautiful car! My mats are on back order, too. My dealer gave me a set of the winter mats and told me that I could keep them.

Looks sharp.
How's the reception with the stubby aerial? Did you get it through the dealer or the UK ebay site that lists them for Peugeot?

Absolutely gorgeous! I wanted the red but I wasn’t allowed due to my age… My wife said in my case it would scream “midlife” too much so I got one of the blue/white launch cars that were already in country instead of ordering the red. Sure looks like it would have been worth the wait though. Positively stunning color for that body style. You don’t need to wash it every 10 minutes and it will never show swirls marks.
Congratulations....

As a former Austin resident, I just realized where you took these pics - at the Arboretum in NW Austin, nice.

That's too funny, my wife and I had the exact same conversation yesterday, she wants the blue, I want the red. I told her blue was OK if she volunteered to help clean it. I think we're going red! Gorgeous car!

Funny.

If you buy a 60K car in your 20s your called too immature for such a fancy car.
If you buy a 60K car in your 30s your called irresponsible and should be saving.
If you buy a 60K car in your 40s - 50s your called in a midlife crisis.
If you buy a 60K car in your 60s+ your called too old for such a fancy car.

Sometimes you just have to go for it. No matter what your age. And when they ask for a ride in your dream machine tell them to ride in the Honda.

You only live once in this world. So live.

no reception issues with the stubby antenna. i bought the i-series here:
http://www.stubbyantenna.com/

i'll post a pic with the oem antenna sitting next to the stubby antenna, really shocking difference in size - go stubby.

as for the mats, i was expecting to have to order, but they just came with the car.

the wife kinda wanted the deep sea blue as well, but i know having a dark green metallic truck that all the dust and especially the pollen shows instantly all over the car. red hides dust very well. besides, i thought the red was HOT. on the other hand, even though the sport wheels are beautiful, they are a major pain to clean and keep clean!

i have the aluminum trim so the aluminum pedals go perfectly with the car. i consider them a must.

Thanks for the comparison. Any chance of posting that same photo and your experience on the "Stubby Aerial" threads?
