Living with a McLaren 650s Spider as an (almost) daily
Discussion
Don’t Thorney offer a full clamp upgrade for under £1k which must be less than McLaren would charge?

Might be good preventative maintenance?

One additional thing to conclude this thread :
There is often a discussion about which insurance companies to use for supercars, and 'you get what you pay for' is often quoted, especially when a well known multicar insurer is mentioned that uses the name of a senior navy officer....
I can only speak about my own experience, but can say this :
I was very pleasantly surprised to find that their approved repairers includes official McLaren body shops - including the one I would have chosen to use.
In addition, for cars like this they acknowledge that the book price is likely to be low and they get bespoke valuations. I was told mine today and it is absolutely fair - and genuinely does allow me to put myself in the same position I was in before the accident.
I did always think that maybe I'd regret having the 'cheaper' insurance policy if the worst came to the worst. As it turns out, based on my experience - they will be top of the list for insuring my next car if I decide to replace the 650 with something similar.
I'm very pleasantly surprised.
