650S replacement splitter......how much?!!!

[m33ufo]

I've been quoted £2999.94 inc vat for a replacement front plastic splitter on a 650S. Blimey!!!! Are there any other options for purchasing one - I didn't really want to paint it?

They're a couple of hundred quid on a 911 so I was slightly taken aback!

[rev-erend]

You could always make one yourself

[m33ufo]

Looks good - I may paint it silver!

[cowboyengineer]

I didn't realise you had a mclaren. Were you not looking at a gt3

Which one did you go for?

[m33ufo]

I haven't bought one yet. A car I'm looking at needs a splitter.

Wouldn't you just factor the cost into the price then? Or are you worrying about damaging the new one once you have bought it and looking at options?

[RamboLambo]

Has it not got axle lift then either ?

[m33ufo]

It does have lift....I guess these things are easy to forget. Same happened to me in a 997.2 GT3!!

[cowboyengineer]

Also I'm sure you have checked. But surly that extortionate amount is for a carbon one

Lift in the 650 takes ~15s to operate so you do have to plan when to use it!

I have...about £8500 for the Carbon!!

I'm now the proud owner of a McLaren 650S

Won't be collecting until the weekend.

well done chap dont 4get piccies

[m33ufo]

As soon as I collect there will be pics. Might call in again tomorrow and take a few before collection

[RamboLambo]

Congrats. That's the 3rd buyer of a 650S on here in the last week alone - see "selling like hot cakes in freezing weather" thread.

Bag a bargain while you can as When they are gone they are gone.

Once the new owners realise what a good car they have bought they also won't be reappearing for sale again in a long while drying up supply until P14 production is in full flow in 2018.

SO have you ordered some marine ply and mechano too

[simonr100]

Congratulations on the car, a great choice!

Mine is Carbon Black. I don't actually think it has been advertised yet. I literally saw it by chance on the way to a meeting this morning.

[m33ufo]

Excuse the poor pics. When I tool them I didn't honestly think I'd be buying it!
