they need to do a job on this new one as atm it looks too normal,

the 981 is aggressive and the 987.2 sexy, this one still looks like a stock 718.....
I owned two 987.2 Spyders and have been making enquiries about a 981 this week. For me the 718 has the best rear of the lot, looks mean AF in Black.

Anyone seen the silver car just come up at Paragon. Very very cheap for the spec!

Given their reputation for high pricing its very unlike them. Sucker for me at what I thought was cheap at £78.9k

I had a look over it this past Sunday - was presented superbly (as you would expect from Paragon). Photos do not do the colour justice , nor the car, come to that. Jamie said it was one owner.

If I was in the market it would be a contender, for sure.

Oh, whilst I was there a lucky young fella was collecting the Agate Grey Boxster GTS.

fitting an engine that is eager to rev and better gearing would be a good starting point.

reducing the overall size of the car and in turn weight would be a good move as well, if you jump from a 981 into and old 986 its unreal how much smaller they are and for me felt more like I wanted to throw it about.

really not sure why all car manufacturers have gone down this bigger is better path. surely less is more.
The latest mins should have been called Maxis.

Hi Guys a little bit of help on the wheel finishes, at present I have the platinum satin wheel colour which I am very unhappy with the overall finish and condition although my OPC states there is nothing wrong with them( I know they wouldn't say any different) so considering a change does anyone know if Hi gloss black was an option as I would like to keep to a original spec that was availble at time of purchase.

I don't recall it being an option but as you could have wheels in body colour from factory doing yours in gloss black wouldn't be of concern to me and I am like you keen on sticking to factory spec
