Burgess Hill? You have lost me ...
With the 20" wheels I am too worried about the kerbing of them. The demo I had, had 1000 miles on them and all wheels were damaged already!
Delivery is 8 - 12 weeks after order, which I have not done yet.

991 porker now this one is sorted
I would expect the 19s will be a little more comfortable, particularly for somebody in the later years of their life

Congrats - well once you've signed up. The extra power from the uprated hair dryers and the 8sp box is as you hopefully found, useful
I have 19 & 20 " wheels on mine and none have as yet suffered kerb rash in 6,000 miles.
But, if I may be so bold, the all round cmera system is a very useful add-on and cn help avoid kerbs as the mirrors have vertical view cameras showing said rash causes. I have e top down system and reversing and front wing camera system - can't remember what they cal it now, but it is definitely worth it.

I think X5Sport meant the top view camera. Of all the options on mine that's the one that I appreciate the most. One avoided knock (parking spaces are usually too small) would pay for it and some. The one you've ordered give better visibility left and right coming out of junctions, but I rarely use mine.

I did indeed.......Top View (mirrors and rear inc) and Side View (front wings).
Don't worry pvr, you still have time to make another change.........
The front wing cameras are very useful in rural Wales where my outlaws live, as the junctions are often obscured by dry stone walls. I use mine quite a lot.

The top view camera is near essential in my view, whereas the side view cameras are less important. Bad news is top view costs c£500 I think.
