Got it, and love it

Guys at Mclaren Glasgow are brilliant, super chilled and made the whole experience an absolute pleasure. Car was prep’d great and looks stunning. Driving home was one of the most sureal experiences of my life, what a car!

Congrats how does the titanium exhaust sound?

Congratulations, Undoubtedly a big leap forward from a Lotus in performance terms and far less raw.

With regards to a front plate, most Macs have no front fittings as you need to drill through the bumper, the exception usually being Mclarens own cars.

In any event not displaying one is non points gathering but can get you a £100 fine if the Police are so inclined. I would chance it until you get stopped and then reconsider

A lot of these cars are past 3 years old now, so what do people do come MoT time?

McLaren service can do MOT.

Believe Thorney can do as well?

I wouldn’t bring these cars anywhere else lol.

Although I use a local MOT place for other cars - including some expensive ones in the past - I am a bit paranoid about them jacking the carbon tub in the wrong place. Last year, I used B&C - and will again this year I think (I believe they do it on site now)

I was thinking more about the front number plate issue! Without one it surely wouldn't pass an MoT so was wondering if owners stick one on temporarily or something ...

You will fail an MOT without a front plate yes. Easy enough to stick one on for the test. Although going off my last MOT that probably wont matter. The place I used were too scared to drive in onto the ramp, so asked me to do it. They then realised the under trays concealed everything. The MOT consisted of the car sat on the ramp for 45min while the machine counted down.

Hi All,

Put the deposit down for my first Mclaren 570s, super excited. Used to have Lotus's ( Elise, Exige, and Evora ) but then kids came along and had to sell them. But now they're 5 and 7 they can passenger fine so back in the game. Bought the car from Mclaren Glasglow, Car below got the 2-year McLaren warranty and fresh service on it but want to know if there is anything I need to know / tips/advice. It's going to get used daily and I was told unlike all my lotus's it won't leak.... So fingers crossed smile The first question, does everyone just chance it and not have a front number plate?

Its got some nice bits on it

Bowers & Wilkins Sounds, MSO Defined Titanium Super Sports Exhaust ( very excited about this!!! ) 5 Twin Spoke Lightweight Wheels, Lux Pack and Security Pack

Haha nice! I called Glasgow to put a deposit on that very same car that week and they said they are on the phone to someone right now taking a deposit already! Glad you like it.

Ended up getting the Spyder from Mclaren Manchester instead. Overwhelmed with the 570s - sticks to the floor like its on rails.

Honestly is mega noisy, on startup and when you put your foot down but apart from that it’s perfect smile
