I have the 2nd slot at my OPC (mid-Sussex) but their first car is only due a week earlier than mine as it was also specced with LWB's, so the first cars were delayed if so ordered.

Ok im 5th with my OPC November build. So when do you think ill get the car then? Also gone for the 918 Buckets

So glad i held my nerve and ignored the online chatter about LWB being pulled indefinately - 7-10 days after estimated completion date, assuming that there are no excessive shipping delays i guess.

Great value spec, struggling to work out how i have managed to spend another 11 grand on top of that ! PCCBs, nav crap and clubsport package i suppose is the answer, doh.

Personally I would go platinum wheels and add the CDR- plus for USB etc.

PCCB's are very tempting but always thought of them as a negative for resale purely because a replacement rotor is just so expensive and can be easily damaged on track.

Good idea. I may add CDR-plus but I'd like to see Satin Black in the flesh on a White car.

My car is built but sitting in Germany, according to PCGB via OPC delivery maybe delayed and may not be here until late August beginning Sept

why would that be...what reason are they giving for holding back your completed car?

[mad ferret]

Haven't a clue, I don't want the car till Sept 1st but want it to be these shores asap so I can go and look

Mine's coming from the same dealer as yours - estimated for November and I've just popped LWB's back on to mine with no mention of further delay but we'll see.

Not in the flesh but again from the white PEC car

Can't really tell from the image, but they're the short sill - not the one which returns upwards towards the door latch?

Here you go.

Many don't seem to like them, but I really do. Maybe I'm being practical because I previously had the high gloss wheels on the CR and they were a b*gger to keep clean and scratched so easily. Anyone lived with these 'matt' type alloys yet, do they wear ok?

I personally don't like the matt black but each to their own.

I have matt 20's on my Cayman S at the moment and haven't found them difficult to keep clean or blemish free. I coated them with C5 Wheel Armour from GTechnic when they were new which has probably helped.

I've gone for sills because I think they look great at night illuminated and the normal ones look quite cheap and leave a lot of black plastic on show - however if your looking to save £600 it could be worth spending it elsewhere

I've gone for black wheels because I've gone for a black car and I personally like the stealth look

One thing I do regret is not opting for dual zone ac because it won't have climate but hopefully it's not going to effect me terribly...

Someone kindly sent me a photo of the exact spec of my car and it's fair to say I love it....

They are full length from what I understand a lot bigger than the plastic version
