Cruise control isnt correct - theres a section outlined that will punch out - think removing an old tax disc from the paper style thing.

£500 quoted to do before I sold it
I think that's on the standard plastic steering column - the JZM car has the optional leather shroud with contrast stitching that doesn't have a cutout that I can see...

EDIT: Just seen that it's your old car so you must be right!

Ha no worries! No doubt easier on a non leather pack car!

That opc car is the same spec as the one I drove at PEC at launch. I don't however think that really matters. Just means it's had a good life! Opc cars come with warranty...!

Physically the exhaust may be the same, but the fuelling map must be different to give the enhanced crackles and burbles. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love them! biggrin
The GTS also has a sound symposer fitted behind the carpet at driver side.

not set on carmine red but its oddly appealing. the grail' colour of agate grey is appealing but white is a no go..

it will be used a weekend driver and intentions to take it through europe next year...

i am minded to hit both of them with heavy discount offers...the OPC car appeals as an alcantara wheel can easily be added...cruise as mentioned cannot..

looking at jzm this weekend (to see if she can touch the peddles) and then will make effort to go and look at the OPC car...

owners i appreciate are a big thing but finding a one owner GTS is proving very difficult..
Agate Grey 2016 1 owner car at OPC Sheffield.

Might be worth the extra outlay, esp as it's your preferred colour choice.

Try a bid and go up in hundreds - £62k might buy it.

I'm trading my car in today and have a Porsche metallic Sapphire Blue touch up paint set (2 part set). It's only used once but if you are interested I could send it down to you FOC?

yep - this was my beauty back in the day... November 2014. Total road weapon..1st PDK/X73 GTS though my dealership.... only superseded in March 2017 by a GT4.

Posting very late as I have been driving all day - I love this car.

GT Silver, Carrera S Partial Painted, X73 - Standard GTS Interior, Leather Console Surround.

Here is my spec in full:

U2 GT Silver Metallic
GW Black leather interior with Alcantara
635 ParkAssist rear
712 Deletion of "GTS" on side doors
748 Electric folding outside mirrors
P13 Automatically dimming interior and exterior mirrors with integrated rain sensor
220 Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV)
250 Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
X73 Sports suspension (20 mm lower) Exclusive
423 20-inch Carrera S wheel
XDA Black painted wheels (partially) Exclusive
454 Cruise control
573 2-zone automatic air conditioning
583 Smoking package
630 Light design package
899 ISOFIX for passenger side
P07 Adaptive sports seats Plus, electrical (18-way) with memory package
XHB Centre console trim in leather Exclusive
594 Rooflining in Alcantara
619 Preparation for mobile phone
680 BOSE® Surround Sound System
P23 Porsche Communication Management (PCM) incl navigation module with universal audio interface

I did deliberate regarding GTS interior - but didn't think it was worth it as you get extended leather and alcantara as part of the GTS model in any case - I didn't really like the carbon add ons and I wanted a black centre dial like my 997 GTS - deviated stitching is nice - but I can take it or leave it.
So I spent the money on the seats and the exterior colour - GT silver which is really special. Only slight regret is not getting DAB - but I can do that with my iPOD/Phone.
Model designation delete - just because I think i wanted a clean looking car and all the badges on the back is bit of a pain for cleaning.

A little birdie tells me a black GT4 just arrived at OPC wolves with only 1800 miles on it, @ £87.5k

Meantime I am looking at the nice GTS at Sheffield OPC...
