Mine's coming in January too; I'll take it early Feb as Porsche Club take over Port Meirion for a weekend then.

I think I am in the same boat as you with Jan/Feb. Would you not wait till March 1st and have the 18 reg?

I’m wanting mine for delivery May. Is there any reason to order sooner rather than later? Or should I just hang back and put the order in Jan or something?

I'd order now but tell them you don't want it till then.

Yeah my OPC has its order book filling up - they have one spot per month. So I’ve ordered now and asked for a June build, which was only bumping by one month as they had 5 orders taking them to May already.

That’s what I expected to hear, thanks for sharing

That really doesn't make sense to me. It's only a software change to make the steering lighter at low speed I believe. Certainly the 718 I drove with Psp+ had clearly more feel than my 981 without on the same tyre - PZERO N1. If there was a difference I'd suspect different tyres or geometry (porsche don't have a good reputation in adhering to their own specs in my experience)

Yes I did..... Thats £70 I'm not getting back.

The forum there is like a ghost town. When I meet you at Portmeirion you owe me a beer.

On reading your post I have joined the club as I quite like the sound of that run up to Wales.

If you want to book for Port Meirion email Phil Graham at [e-mail]

The 2 small things I’m not 100% sure on and may change are:

Rear Badge:
is 718 Boxster GTS too long? I’m torn between having that, just GTS or nothing at all

Front Leds:
Those small strip lights under the main light. Seem to remember someone saying those can be tinted - not sure i optioned that??

[Pinball]

I’d go with GTS. I’d maybe consider 718 GTS if that were an option.

I’ve not seen the option of blacking out the lower lights, not sure if it’s feasible as they are also indicators. Plus the side ones wouldn’t match.

I'm having nothing on the back; I can always get a GTS sticker made. I'll leave the decals on the doors though.

It was on Si-3PO crayon one I saw them...

I didn’t notice that when I saw his picture before

I think you'll find that the tinted running lights/indicators are standard on the GTS.

718 Cayman GTS now ordered .... Saphire Blue Metallic + Full Black Leather Interior ( Deletion of Alcantara .... except the Roof Lining )

Build date Jan 25'th / Delivery Early February 2018
Silverstone Driving Experience ...... During January when Silverstone receives the R/hand Demonstrators .

Can anyone suggest an Insurance Company which does not insist on ' activated Tracker ' for a vehicle of this value ?

I intend to visit Bellissimoto soon to discuss the GTechniq Coating + one or two coats of EXO for added Gloss and just GTechniq coating for the Wheels which I wish to stay as Satin Black .

Copy of spec. ' attached ' ( I hope )
