McLaren 570s Buying Advice
Discussion
Hi all, hoping to collect an Ice Silver 570s next week, pending its pre inspection at McLaren to add their warranty on.
One thing I have noticed is some corrison on the wings (pictures attached) these are the two worst areas, even less on other two wings.

I already spoke with McLaren who say it is past the 5 year warranty for this type for corrison. Is this likely to spread or is there a way to prevent it? Those who have fixed out of warranty, any rough idea on price so i can try to negotiate with the dealer. Car also has full ppf so that would need replacing if repainted. I am planning to fully wrap the car for a colour change later down the line.
Any help, or advice appreciated. Car is otherwise spec perfect for what I am after, at a very reasonable price.

If the bubbling is isolated to the outer edge then find a very good bodyshop. They can paint to the edge where the surface angle changes and then lacquer the whole wing. They did this on my last Mclaren and it was not possble to spot. I was charged £900 for both front wings including removing the bumper to gain access to prep the wing.
As noted above, getting the right paint mix is the issue as Mclaren will not disclose. The bodyshop had to use and very high spec paint spectrum analyser to get a mix.
What was the bodyshop you used, if you dont mind saying. Or feel free to PM them to me. Cheers!As noted above, getting the right paint mix is the issue as Mclaren will not disclose. The bodyshop had to use and very high spec paint spectrum analyser to get a mix.
So the car in question needed around 10k worth of work (including leaking dampers and a cracked door hinge) following a mclaren inspection. They also identified corrosion on every panel except the roof and advised it would cost around 20k to fix and therefore advised not to buy the car.
I have now found a lovely track pack example with no corrison that I'm hoping to collect this weekend or early next week.

On a seperate note, whilst my new car is fantastic there is an incredibly annoying and loud squeak from what seems like the roof behind the seats. Anyone come across this?
That's interesting as it's for sale at a supposedly reputable supercar dealer in Swanlincote. Must be all fixed up now, looks mint and good value.On a seperate note, whilst my new car is fantastic there is an incredibly annoying and loud squeak from what seems like the roof behind the seats.

On the squeak try the Mclaren tech forums on facebook, seems to cover virtually every issue on there.
Awesome i will try that, thanks.
