Turbo wheels are nice and forged so light.

You also got sports exhaust as well. The other car didn't have that.

Some nice options on there as well.

Enjoy
Appreciated.

I’m well chuffed!

Yes, options as follows:

Sports exhaust - seems that this just opens the valve rather than the Sport button that tweaks throttle response and gear change?
Steering Plus - just lightens effort at low speed
Bose - didn’t try this
Wheels with coloured logo caps - jury still out!
Tinted rear lights and black 718 logo
Twin climate
Heated multi function steering wheel
Folding mirrors - a must for me
Parking plus - just adds front sensor? No camera
Sports seat full leather - not sure if the seat shape is the same, but the leather seems nice
Cruise control
GT silver

I think that’s it!

One owner car supplied by same dealer. Immaculate, all 4 tyres being replaced.

Should be collecting in just over a week.

All tyres bring replaced (wouldn’t agree Michelins), all four wheels refurbished and front bumper being sprayed. All being undertaken by their approved/preferred body shop etc.

Then straight to Detailer for pss as int correction and 7 year ceramic coating.

Cannot wait.

OPC seems to think I did well to get a discount from them - it is unusual to negotiate a discount on their approved used stock?

Cheers

Hi All

Just to update - I collected my 2018 GT Silver Cayman Base yesterday. So happy with my choice, after deliberating for a while!

Off the my detailer in a few weeks for him to work his magic.

Just a couple of questions please:

1) What options have people gone for for boot/frunk organisers?
2) With PDK is seems that you can get the brake to set out pushing hard - great. However, when switch engine off does the park brake stay set?
3) Anyone had trouble with Porsche metal valve caps seizing?

Cheers!

Metal valve caps will seize on any car, not a great idea unless you free them off regularly.

Surely they're not seized on the car you've just bought from OPC?
No, it’s just that when I first viewed the car it had a set fitted, but just noticed that eiether when they wheels were refurbished or the tyres fitted, they have been replaced with normal plastic ones.

Perhaps bullet dodged.

Thanks
