Seems good value, cheapest R I’ve seen and in a reletavely desirable spec.

Yep, that's an awful example of an R

That is the least desirable R I have ever seen. It's like someone went out their way to make it look like an S. And the paint on it - as someone who does a bit of detailing, the paint on that makes me wince.

Don't worry, here are a couple of pictures of a more desirable spec R to make us all feel a bit better

Given your own car has (I assume you haven't changed them) Spyder wheels and the aero kit and looks in nicer condition, I'd rather have the car you have than the one in that advert - It probably also looks more like an R!

This is better value

Lovely spec, shame it's got a rear wiper...

[celticstevie]

Here is a shameless plug of mine. Although I feel the market is dead. Calls from dealers wanting to take the car on SOR or chancers offering lower than trade! We are doing a loft conversion starting Jan and want my 2 garage bays for stuff. Also wife has a couple of refurbs on the go. I can see me hanging on to the car and putting in storage for 3 months.

I sold my GT3.2 but still enjoying my 991.2 GTS Cabriolet (in Crayon).
On the lookout for a good R with PDK and buckets if anyone knows of any?

Thanks, you are correct it’s in great condition (and still under extended Porsche warranty), probably wouldn’t change it for any ‘R’ tbh.

The car’s in ‘winter spec’ so the spyder wheels are tucked away in the garage awaiting refurb and tyres in the new year (thinking satin Aurum instead of gloss black, but that’s TBC!).

Please don't do black wheels on a black car. Worse combo ever. Unless you're a drug dealer or chav of course :P

I agree, but thats how they came from factory.

It’s a toss up between satin Aurum and satin platinum. I’ve seen good examples of each on spyder wheels, I’m holding off the decision till Feb/Mar.

[frayz]

Mine will be going satin platinum when they get tired i think.
Anyone got images of spyder wheels in this finish?
