I have 2 cars one with one with out, cleaning the PCCB car is a dream, cleaning my R wheels takes 1 hour per corner if left more than 2 weeks.
Then you have the looks, outstanding with 410mm disks.

then the Caliper (£300 to get set painted yellow I bet with strip rebuild etc)

prob not have them but boy they look fine

Indeed they do, especially on a RY car with titanium wheels - pretty much the same as the car at Geneva.

I wonder if part of the reason people were underwhelmed with the white car last night was because it was on the black wheels? May not have been so obvious overall but for me they really didn't hit the mark the way the std titanium wheels do in the flesh.

Once you have seen Racing Yellow on a GT4 in the flesh its hard to decide on any other colour - it really is that stunning.

agree

my GF was saying change back to yellow !!

the black wheels need to be hi gloss black, like on my R, satin black looks naff.

How many people will change to yellow now though, every one who goes there imo lol

I am still holding out though just !!!

Hi gloss black is an expensive option from the factory,. Better to order in platinum, and then paint them locally if desired.

the GT4 last night did make me want the PCCB

still thinking yellow but even in that show room there were 3 green fly on that yellow car
Out side a nice GTS in yellow was covered in flies.

Is that an issue ? not sure.

Apparently there will be an announcement regarding the seat issue in the next day or so.

Obviously that's really personal,I wouldn't ever own a yellow car.

thought this was in relation to GT4 only? have to say the 918 style bucket is the most comfortable one I have ever sat in, bit more tilt angle than in the 918, on both the RS and GT4, makes all the difference.....

Did you not fancy a change after owning Mexcio ?

I always have to have a brand new colour on a new car.

On a plus note it must have looked good to go for it again :-)

Still waiting for some to say "I am having Viper"
