Depends what you want, it doesnt 'need' anything, but spend some time in it, see what you want to improve and give us a call, certainly a stage 2 remap, race exhaust, spacers and geo will make you smile even more than you are now but see how you like it as it is first. Have fun.
Will do, thanks. I’ll learn about it through the winter then look at what I fancy in the spring.Perhaps try in this forum

As it has basically been another year, I just posted an updated article on our McLarens & Reliability on karenable. In summary:
McLaren #5 – 2015 650S Spider: This car has been my daily driver for the last 4 ½ years now. No issues and only time it has been back to the dealership is for its yearly service. There have been a couple of minor recalls, all of which have been handled as part of the annual service. This year we also replaced all four tires and did a full wheel alignment. Four years of driving around the lunar surface like roads of Dallas had not be kind to either. The only other very minor tantrum the 650S Spider has thrown was over a dislike for 64GB Scandisk USB drives. When I tried to use one with the IRIS infotainment system it repeatedly crashed. Once I swapped the 64GB USB drive for the 32GB drive I had been using prior, IRIS immediately returned to life.
McLaren #6 – 2016 675LT Spider: This car has done multiple 1000+ miles road trips and been driven hard in the mountains its entire life. The 675LT Spider has never had a single issue and it’s only has seen the inside of the workshop for its annual services. Like the 650S Spider, a few minor recalls have been taken care of during the annual visits to the McLaren service center. To date the largest cost has been this year’s windshield replacement. The damage was caused by a rock that flew off the back of a large dump truck in Pennsylvania. It sounded like a gun shot when it hit the windshield.
McLaren #7 – 2018 720S: Never had a single problem and it just had its second completely routine annual service.
McLaren #8 – 2019 Senna: The Senna just arrived in June. So far, it’s had one recall item that was prompt taken care of.
I'm late to asking this, but thought I'd try anyway.McLaren #5 – 2015 650S Spider: This car has been my daily driver for the last 4 ½ years now.

Why so many similar cars? Is it that you've a far larger collection and that this is just the McLaren bit of it?
Also just finished the latest update on the McLarens reliability record.
