@j77 - thanks.
I've googled and seen them for £312, so the sponsors on here should be less than that. I will make further enquiries and let you know.

Duckworths have them on their website at £231 (rrp £260). Not sure if there's price difference for 5dr and coupe.

That's £159 cheaper than the discounted price of £390 that my dealer gave me, which is shame because I buy everything from them.

@steviep - as a member of babyrr, I think we also get a discount (15%)!off their website prices.
Their website gives you a colour option (to match interior) but a choice of lighting colour.

I'm off on Wednesday so I may pop in to dealers and enquire about the lighting colours.

I have just PM'd Dan @ duckworths and will post the reply.

@cjfp - Thanks
I'm due to pick up my Pure in a few weeks (after 8 month wait) so still deciding what to do about tread plates. I had asked Dan about the bright finish tread plates which he quoted from £98 (plus VAT). There's also a set on ebay that includes 2 for the front and 2 for the rear, although the front dont look as good as the real ones, I like the look of the rears (I think you only get the 2 front ones with the real sets).
Not sure I can really justify £200+ for ones that glow slightly.

Dan @ duckworths says choice of surround colour but blue light only @ £213 + vat

I am tempted but is the light from it worth an extra £100+ over the bright finish ones ?

I like the idea of them, but as you say almost £140 extra for a bit of light, as far as I'm aware they are only lit when the doors are open. Think I'll pass.
