WOW WOW WOW.
One thing that I would like a lead on if anyone has suffered it, and I'm hoping it's something as simple as a wheel balance - but when traveling at speed the steering wheel has a massive wobble, when you press on it almost becomes light and doesn't install a great deal of confidence - has anyone else had an issue like this or know what it might be, it also seems to vary on road surfaces which is odd if it is a wheel out of balance.
Could very well need a high speed wheel balance. The MC version of the Pirellis have sound deadening foam that gets loose. Before you get the balance done, have them remove any loose pieces, taking the tyre off the bead.One thing that I would like a lead on if anyone has suffered it, and I'm hoping it's something as simple as a wheel balance - but when traveling at speed the steering wheel has a massive wobble, when you press on it almost becomes light and doesn't install a great deal of confidence - has anyone else had an issue like this or know what it might be, it also seems to vary on road surfaces which is odd if it is a wheel out of balance.

Car seems to be getting better with use, couple of hundred miles in and no error messages to speak of at all today. I am struggling however to get anywhere near the quoted mpg figures on the 650s thread.
I don't know what it is about this car, it's savagely quick but the actual sense of speed it gives is astounding, anything I've driven previously doesn't feel as quick even at the same speeds, it really is a remarkable piece of engineering.

How many mpg? Enjoy!
Surely smiles per miles is the relevant question?!Hope your enjoying it Turbo.
Are you clear of the running in miles yet?
355 Im in love - i believe I have cleared the running in miles and it most definitely puts a smile on my face
If you’re having a few electrical error messages, it could be due to a low battery level, due to the car having possibly being parked up in store for a long period of time without a battery conditioner connected to it - this seems to be more common with modern cars with lots of kit & if you’re no5 driving it for a week or two, also do the same.
So I received the car back from PPF yesterday, Whilst it was in I also managed to pick up a set of additional super light wheels in the diamond cut specification.
I'll be honest I'm not sold on these as I think the originals with the red detail suit it better. If anyone's interested I'll probably be selling these and also have a set of brand new winter tyres for sale as well.
Pics below and a final one of collection day with the red wheels.

Thanks Guys.
Have already text my PPF guy as the wheels are stored at his place and have asked him to ceramic coat them in anticipation of getting them put back on.
Looks like these are up for sale haha.
Will get some more pictures of the interior up this week.
