Those painted bits of red can’t be sorted relatively cheaply if it’s not to taste? Seems harsh to turn a good spec car down because of that.

yes and no

the dash bits and centre console can be done, just buy the parts.

the door card bits cannot for some reason or not as easy as one would hope.

Door cards can be done, just a little more work required and some care and attention, everything is possible

That cars not 3 years old.

Looks like a first batch Nov 17 car.

No UK supplied c16 cars are 17 plate.

Last part not correct, my old 991.2 GT3 was a "17" plate first registered on 29-08-2017.

God help you questioning AV185, apparently his cleaners not even allowed to speak 😜

There’s a red manual at Romans too at £129950 with ceramics, but does have a huge 5k miles on the clock

If anything it proves that manual cars are not particularly a premium over pdk.

Edit to say car is actually Lava Orange.

it would be a £133k ish car but minus £6k for miles and its hard as nails to move cars with painted interior.

So at £130k it is a tad expensive, but manuals with spec are rare as hens teeth atm.

OPC don't have a nice spec PCCB car atm.
the only nice car for sale was TH and that sold pretty fast.

you can buy cars £10k below list now with 15k miles.

Would have to agree painted interiors aren’t for everyone, wouldn’t be to expensive to change the trims mind if the rest of the car ticked all the boxes.

Blimey must be the only UK car on a 17 plate.

Why didn't you insist on collecting it a couple of days later on a 67?

Passed a Crayon 991.2 GT3 and Turbo S maybe heading south whilst I headed north on the A49 near Nantwich Cheshire today around 4p.m.

Reg was 87 JN if anyone on here.

Couple of Cayman Rs (one white one 'peridot metallic'?) too for 911R to salivate over.....:

Didnt see any dogs so obviously not heading to the epicentre of the CV pandemic Crufts lol.

Really?

Why how much would it cost then?

Try getting a quote from your OPC. You may have to sit down/collapse when they tell you the cost.

No need to go to OPC for stuff like this as they’ll have your panties off..

Anyone thinking of changing stuff here’s a start, easily polished and cleaned up

Anywhere I can send my Vin, to get options prices and total cost when new. Tried local OPC with no luck, think the guy didn't know how to get it.

The carbon Porsche install on its trims isn't real carbon from my understanding it’s a carbon film coating applied. It wouldn’t cost a huge amount of money two get these wrapped nicely. Once fitted you would never tell the difference

Wrapped stuff looks crap.
You see the odd £150k car with some carbon wrap, it’s not nice.
You can buy the trims for the centre console and dash, you cannot for the doors, that’s the issue.

But the Porsche stuff is technically a wrap.

Supplying OPC would know....they almost certainly wont give you a hard copy because of all the GDPR nonsense but maybe they’d tell you over the phone. If you post the spec on here I am sure we could get close.

It’s not, a wrap is some 3m vinyl which looks naff.

Carbon Door trim readily available too, door cards need to be removed professionally with care and then trim pieces swapped out

I have to disagree, I work in the interiors industry and have seen some very skilful people wrap products to a very high standard. If your going try yourself or get your mate in a garage to do it yes it will look of a lower quality.

An alternative option would be to have it professionally hydro dipped.

Run, Forrest, Run comes to mind. Don’t think it is a legit business.

I ordered some carbon cup holders from them. Never arrived. They never gave a refund. They never answer phones...when they do only to register a sale.
Try calling them if you don’t believe me.

Indeed, it's quite funny the obsession with interior carbon tat when it's basically just a layer of carbon laminated over plastic then covered with epoxy (and so can be actually heavier than the standard trim) rather than proper race car type dry carbon interior pieces.
