Dont know the code,but its approx £1000 per litre,at least thats what i was told by another VO owner who had to have a bit of work done!!!!.
I need to get my front wrapped ASAP

Andy did you get my email after our chat a few weeks back?

Yes thanks Tom,i also have a few touch ups to do before i wrap it,luckily for me it was a small scratch during transport and i dont want to give the car up untill i have to!!

I know it sounds like a fortune, £1000 a litre, but you dont need very much to paint a small area.
Had similar scare story with Nissan Ultimate Silver (The expensive option colour for GTRs ) but even though it cost a fortune per litre the repair was still a moderate amount of money.

I saw this in Scratchwood service station. I've seen a couple of MP4-12C on the M1 previously. On each occasion it looks like a McLaren employee with a prospective customer.
Anyone know where they are going to/from.






PS. The Ducati in the 2nd photo is mine. I figured that if the McLaren driver can park where he feels like, so can I.

I'm loving the stylish disabled transport above

Many thanks I thought it would be around £800 to £1000 per litre. Hopefully when I may need some the info maybe easyer to find, though I did here a rumour that Mclaren will not issue the paint and keep it inhouse only and for repairs etc

Sorry for going O/T but have you got any more piccies of the Diavel? I'm a huge fan and think they look great, seen a few around London and they've got the "wow" factor in a big way IMO!

The more i read this. The more i want one! I always thought the 458 would be my perfect supercar but now... I'm not so sure & at time's swinging towards the McLaren!

I would still have both if had the cash. The MP4 for the daily duty's & the 458 for pure weekend/special occasion toy.

But i would still take them both to show's like Goodwood's supercar sunday or Wilton, whatever the weather!
