Looks fine, but avoid the splitter.
If it's anything like the one on the F80 then it becomes a £1000 consumable item if you actually use the car.
At least Porsche had the common decency to make GT3 splitters cheap, plastic and easy to fit.

Except when it isn't, how can you possibly know its a turd? None of its predecessors were. This won't be. You might not like it, but that is your view.

Out of curiosity, what is it that you get out of intentionally winding strangers up on the Internet? I never really understood why people try to come across as opinionated idiots on purpose and why they seem then relish all the negative backlash?

Here we go again. It’s lucky some of you never get anywhere near running a business. Would you not strive to build a brand image that lets you flog a load of basically cheap bling that apes your flagship models? Easy revenue, free advertising, funds more cars, increases profitability.

This place is like the automotive equivalent of the Apprentice sometimes.

If a car was factory ordered with M Performance parts and engine tuning would you still have to declare them to your insurance company as modifications? I would assume so, as the car wouldn't be standard.

No, because they aren't modifications, they're just optional extras. It'll all be info available through the VIN number. No different to adding a better sound system in the optional extras.

I see you still haven’t listed your own garage. Surprising given how great it must be scratchchin

They have taken the old M Performance decal, flipped it upside down, added a slightly different logo and lifted it 6" north... Weird.
