991.1 GT3

[caminator11]

Hi gents

Considering getting into one of these and I'm a big fan of grey. Does anyone know the grey car thats up for 96k with PCCBS in a London dealership (non OPC)? Seems to have been around a while but makes a lot of sense for me man maths wise (I don't like white, I can change the dials and red cage if I need to).

Would love it if someone could PM me if they have any info on this particular car.

Cheers

The search continues!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a wrapping service they've used in the UK? I'm not looking for a matt finish or a gold effect nightmare, just something that looks close to OEM and would emulate black, guards or agate grey? The cars I've found are white which is a great colour but just not for me.

Give Litchfield Motors a phone.They have a new liquid applied wrap in any colour you choose with no edges..It seems a brilliant product and Iain Litchfield is one of the best to deal with apparently.

PW PRO are brilliant for a wrap

I thought it might be,I would guess a budget of £110k would give you the pick of the bunch!

Thanks both! I'll take a look into those, good to know the extra cost if I go white.

Budget is probably 105. Weirdly I'm looking for a non Clubsport car with sofas instead of buckets - this is the only way to keep the OH sated. Not fussed on PCCBs or steels, more concerned about front lift and OPC ideally for the two year warranty.

Topaz are usually very highly rated, if you're down south.

Have a look at Max Protect...mostly known for PPF but they can also wrap cars. They do a lot of work on Porsche’s...they’re very close to JZM and get a lot of work from them directly as well as their clients.

I’ve used them a couple of times for PPF having used another firm previously....they’ve done a very good job on both occasions. No affiliation.

Has your OH tried the buckets - they are far more suited to the GT3, even for road use, providing you ‘fit’ them.

Haha - she isn't on the larger side, its that a back injury when she was little means she really struggles with fixed bucket seats. Even my f80 M3's comp pack seats bother her.

I will trybuckets though, I'm planning to visit an OPC over the weekend with her to do my sales pitch. Must admit I prefer them myself.

My wife hates travelling long distance in LWBS which i have on both my Spyder and GT3.My 458 has also got Carbon buckets but they recline so not a problem.
Try and find a GT3 with folding buckets which are less upright and better for bad backs.

To be clear, i wasn’t suggesting that, it’s as much about shape as size. My wife is very petite, but doesn’t seem to suit the shape of the folding buckets. However, I believe that the angle of the seat can be changed by the OPC, so we are going to try that to see if this will improve things for her.

We often do long trips (300+ miles) and more recently she’s getting pissed off when I want to take the GT3, which isn’t ideal!

In my search for the perfect car I've started to go wayward and am seriously considering putting one of my hero cars in the garage, a 993 turbo. Clearly these tick very different boxes and are a totally different ownership proposition, but would require a similar financial commitment and in my man-maths brain would depreciate in a similarly not-too-precipitous/mclarenesque way.

Has anyone owned one of these? Thoughts? Should I be put in a specialist hospital?

Just done 1200 miles in 4 days through France in mine with 18 way adaptive and it was great, I’ve got a weak back and I don't feel the need to see my chiropractor!

Placed a deposit last week on a car with steels. Absolutely in love - one thing I noticed was quite a long brake pedal feel. Granted, the test drive wasn't very long but it was hard to feel significant bite. Anyone able to advise how these should feel?
