About £182K OTR inc Ceramic coat..As most have gone for a Black WP RS its going to be difficult to trace the flipper,,Trouble with this car is it doesn't have the CF steering wheel trim and will raise some very awkward questions when these bits come into the supplying OPC.

Looks like its not got the Mag Alloys, so list around 172k Plus whatever the Ceramic coat is. Black looks to be the colour that suits this car best in my opinion.

If they really wanted to trace it all they have to do is pop into Romans pretending to be a customer and check out the chassis number...or cross reference the spec against orders. Can’t be that many identical cars....so many variables.

You can track them brand new for 2k hard miles and then flip as a low miles car, no one knows.

We have 2 in Leicester now wonder if both were lei OPC cars.

Have to say that looks stunning. I went with signal Yellow.

My CGTS was being MOT'd at the same OPC yesterday and seeing your car in the flesh is something else. Never been a huge fan of Racing Yellow but Signal Yellow is so much nicer. Also saw a Crayon 718 Spyder which again was much better in the flesh. Enjoy.

Thanks, I know what you mean about Racing Yellow, it looks Ok, its on one of the WP press cars with gold wheels. But Signal Yellow is a different colour all together in my opinion. Its changes Colour dependent on light conditions. Yes Crayon looks good on the 718SP, and on a WP RS also.

I’ve just done a day at spa. There was another .3 there also. They sound incredible, and are seriously loud both inside and outside. I went to the end of the pit lane to listen to it come down the gears and the end of the main straight then go hard back up towards eau rouge. Seriously mega. Whoever gets to explore theirs properly will not be disappointed with the sound.

I also got to compare it to my friends pre ppf car and at idle they are quieter, but at speed it was hard to tell the difference.

I got the car weighed also, 1426kg full of fuel but with no wheels on.

That’s a nice surprise ! Great to get it early...you’ll have a couple of months to enjoy it before the roads are properly cold and wet.Amazing how bad the Porsche computer system is for tracking cars being built!

The yellow and black one? Was epic wasn't it! Exactly the same (99% at least) as mine which arrives soon.

I was the blue RS smile

Great couple of days.

Cons are potentially exorbitant costs and resulting in visible edges which trap dirt...I still haven't decided either way however paying thousands to PPF a car is a waste of money to me..I see the value in PPF on the front end up to a certain price point..My main concern is the soft flat black water based paint Porsche use overlying a white primer..

I have full ppf and there is no visible edges. Ceramic won’t protect it from stone chips. Respraying the bonnet will be a nightmare I’m sure.
