You picked some good angles there, really show off the black nicely. Definitely not disappointed with the choice! And makes the Porsche in the background look quite ordinary.
When you gonna take the car home?

Nice 
Ive not noticed the rotor shaped seat back adjuster before.
Also the handbrake is on the right, so the car in the new ad must be a mirror image.

Do you know - I thought about getting strakes and rotary bits on the front and bling polished alloys, but seeing it there in pure black, the only conclusion I could come to was that any extras would just spoil the lines. So - it's staying just as you see it, and I'll keep a few hundred quid in my pocket!

Nice Pictures, If I was you Plozak I would be having sleepless nights at the moment knowing my 8 is here, and can not get my grubby hands on it yet!!!!

It looked good on Saturday, under the showroom lights this evening and freshly cleaned and polished? it looked fantastic, as did the dealers Titanium Grey with all the bells and whistles. I'd charge them for all the attention your car is getting, both from those of us that covet this vehicle and from the passing trade.
Hopefully all of those of us from the Essex area can get together and cruise the seafront one Saturday, just to get up the noses of the customising youngsters who congregate there each weekend.
Seriously this car is a class act compared to some of the monstrosities that pass for customised, with some of the most hideous body kits imaginable. One on a Fiat Punto makes the thing look like a streamlined skip.
All the best with the vehicle, keep us up to date with the driving experience. I must admit to not wishing to see it pass me on the A127 as I shall be eaten up with envy.
Regards

Nice one ploszek!
Think you've got the same spec as me (Basic Black Hi Power with cloth), so it's great to see what mine will actually look like when I eventually get it (20th Dec - hopefully before crimble if Mazda keep to it).
Indeed December does seem a long way away when the first pre-orders are getting theirs about now...

good spot bugbear! Aha that answers the vent rings question once and for all - noone has been able to give a definitive answer to me up until now about these, as they were on the demo cars I saw - didn't look closely to see if they were real chrome or plastic chrome - do I care? for £70 no I dont...

I also thought that the cloth seats would be fully black and not black and grey - actually If they are the same as the preprod blue that the world and his dog sat in, then they were quite nice and suede-y (if thats a word!)....
