Camskills

I got N0 Cup2s 234-35-19 from Camskill for £192 each two months ago. I think the rears are more dear though....
Camskill currently £968 delivered then i have to get them fitted

The rears are currently £259 fitted at Costco if you buy 2. Fronts are 198 fitted (assuming you buy 2). So £54 cheaper than Camskill and that's fitted price. Wait until they have an offer on and it'll be less again. I got the 4 Super Sports fitted on mine for £600 when they had an offer on.
There are different versions of these and Costco also can order more than just what is on their site so best check which ones you want but I'd certainly say it was worth a look.

Edit to add - those aren't N rated but I think you can only get the front size N rated anyway IIRC....

Another Edit to add, I think the rears you'd want are actually £278 fitted, but that would still make the 4 fitted £18 cheaper than Camskill. That's assuming neither front or rears are N rated as since you can't get both in N rating I'd personally just get both in the standard version.

Cheers Paul,

Couldn't care less about the N rating personally as my car is way beyond any Porsche warranty now.
But cheers anyway, i'll have a look smile

Any issue with MOT with it not having British Standard number / supplier’s postcode etc?

Thanks.

Doubt it, I’ve never had a BS plate since I’ve been driving. You’d have to get a proper jobsworth MOT tester to pull you up on it.
I always go to places I know for MOTs as I trust them with the car.

Have had plates made online and delivered for years with no post code, incorrect spacing etc and never once had a problem.

I always use https://www.platesforcars.co.uk/designer.php?gclid...

It does however depend on where you take the car, my local just likes me bringing
my sports cars in so probably gives me some leeway.. biggrin

I agree, i think it all depends on the level of "plate nobheadness" you employ.
If you're running around with a plate with crazy spacing, silly sizes and illegible fonts then you're asking fro trouble.
In my experience if the font is correct and the plate can clearly be read without issue, i've never had an issue from the MOT guy or the boys in blue.
Common sense on this one i think smile

Not the best spec, but very low miles, nice colour and sport chrono. Priced appropriately in my view too.

You could offer on this one I reckon as too many would be scared of the stratospheric mileage hehe

Nice spec though - almost identical to mine.

nice car ,BUT why do people not do good adverts or clean their cars !! (nice AMG car mats though :-) )
no spec list, no service history dates etc etc it's very lazy !

low spec car , but has the main bits I guess, also no AC ? maybe tracked as it's had the tow hook in ? or it's just been towed home lol

the blue one's the best buy atm imo.

Nobody wants modified Rs though, the exhaust is undoable, but not the remap...
