That spec would look brilliant with the seatbelts re-webbed in yellow.

I'm tan interior but black calipers

Ditto; tan interior, black calipers, black wheels. I saw quite a few Nimbus cars in the factory yesterday, both with and without the black pack (and both with black and with silver wheels). They all looked awesome, it's an amazing colour. Tan and Nimbus works really well. I thought I was going left-field when I specced that combo, but it seems to be quite popular.

Mine too, except I went for red callipers.

It looks even better than I'd hoped!

First time I've seen privacy glass. Indeed very dark looking!

Won’t get your laptop nicked from the boot then

Great pics - thanks for posting.

Gee the privacy glass looks dark!

Indeed! Hope it doesn’t affect outward visibility (Ie blind spot glass). Does the privacy glass option also include the rear glass/engine cover?

Good to see these and to confirm my choice of Nimbus/black pack/privacy looks good. Main difference is I’ve gone for silver wheels but have been unable to change to the diamond cut without incurring a further delay……
Are there any pictures of silver wheels out there?

Actually, in the flesh I didn't think it looked very dark at all. Must be lighting and angles.

Privacy is one of those options I immediately tick when spec-ing my own car, however with the Emira, I could take it or leave it. There's not enough of it, especially the rear quarters to make a big difference.

And the rear glass over the engine has big black borders anyway.

Under the bright white LEDs of the show floor I was surprised how silver/chrome looking Nimbus was and lost a lot of the bronze element that seems to come across in most pictures.

The privacy glass didn't look that dark in person! I took my DSLR down and took some pics specifically of the glass from a couple of angles, they look exactly like what I saw in the flesh:

Are they not the silver wheels?

I thought the diamond cut had some black on them?

Edit: looks like it might be the lighting and they are diamond cut as you say.

Interesting as I've also ordered silver...

 

[Autopsy]

Is it my eye tricking me or are Nimbus cars‘ bonnet seal less unsightly than that of the Magmas' and Hetheal Yellows'？
Can someone at the Goodwood elaborate on this matter？

The rear hatch glass only extends over the engine bay. The rear wing is over the boot, so it's completely covered.

Privacy glass is both the rear three-quarter windows and the engine hatch. Without privacy glass they both still have quite a thick dark border.

No silver wheels on any of the Goodwood cars. I suspect they're one of the problem parts. All the wheels have been delayed, but the silver ones seem to be worst affected.
