congratulations BR ... that looks real value for money and if in the future you decide to make changes then you have the budget in place to tailor the car to your personal choices. Lets face it ... its going to drive and sound the same regardless!!

Thank you!

I will be doing a few changes but will be leaving the interior as it was a very expensive from MSO and is likely the only 675 spider in the UK with a full MSO leather interior.

I am super excited to enjoy the car.

This is a great informative thread.

Helpful inputs from a number of people and OP puts out some serious wedge to complete the deal.

Congratulations and enjoy in good health, that’s one hell of a car you got BR.

Thanks Ronnie!

Congratulations, you got yourself a bargain! Its a unique car and one that you should enjoy very much, as we all do.

Very wise to leave the interior as it is after all a very unique and expensive MSO option. In actual fact the more I look at it the more I like it as it contrasts so well with the MSO Fire Black exterior. All it needs is a damn good detail and PPF to the front, mirrors and sills to avoid future hassle.

I agree Taffy. Thank you for the help and advice. I did pay more than I hoped, but I am happy as I really like black and there aren't any low Mile nice ones out there except this.

You were only one £500 bid more than the underbidder on a £200k car !. It was also £89K less than the 812 which makes your 675 a bargain in comparison.

May I ask how you suggest refinishing the wheels?

I was thinking of doing the centers/spokes in bodycolour snd leaving the lip in a diamond cut finish.

Thats a really nice finish your considering; one of my young lads has a black C63 coupe and thats the finish on his alloys and it looks fantastic.

My wheels have the faces and lips finished in the liquid chrome finish ( looks just like diamond cut but painted ) and the inners finished in a dark matt colour which pretty nearly matches the carbon cills, front spoiler and rear diffuser.

Regards to your new 675, I am pretty sure that with a good detail that paintwork shall come up amazing; Black always does.

My car has ppf to every single part inc the carbon, which has kept it all like knew; if it doesn't have that already fitted, I would recommend it after a full detail.

I am also sure that in the flesh the interior colour shall also be stunning.

All in all a great purchase.

Thanks Taffy. It had a list price of £325k so I need be happy I got it for 1/3 off including the detail and ppf.

Thank you very much. I am super excited!.

I will be doing a detail and ppf for sure.

I am also looking into a protective scrape plate to protect the front diffuser.

I attached some Sliplo pads to the underside of my 600LT and so far after 2 years they're still in perfect condition but the rest of the undertray's looking pretty battered so just double check they get fitted in the right place.

I am absolutely delighted you went for it and stole it, a truly stunning and unique 675 very well bought congratulations !
You must be over the moon when are you collecting it and sharing some pics.

Thank you very much! I am super excited. I will be collected in 2 to 3 weeks. I have to travel from Saturday.

I am trying to sort out while I am gone:
- A good detailing
- PPF with ceramic coating
- Refinishing the wheels - bodycoloured wheels with the lip diamond cut.
- scrape protection on the front splitter

My new 992 gt3 touring manual and the 675lts will be ready upon my return. To say I am excited is the understatement of the century.

I actually really like the silver wheels against the black, think it suits the classic style interior colour very well and I’m usually a black wheels only person.

Have to agree, i think the silver wheels work very well. I'm sure diamond cut will also look great though.

It really is a stunning and unusual example OP. I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you

I am thinking of getting another set of wheels and leaving the oem wheels as is. I am going for an OEM Plus look with the ability to fully return to stock.

Given the price of another set of oem wheels and my failed attempts to find a used set, I have found two monoblock styles I like.

May I ask:
1) Is it crucial to have wheels that are the exact same dimensions etc as stock? The wheel produces make them custom and are suggesting wider wheels and possible larger size.

2) what do you think of these 2 options.

[Sarnie]

I wouldn't put non-OEM wheels on it.

Especially anything that is not OEM offsets and specs.........

[BrntRubber]

Option 1:
Finishes being considered are:
Brushed Metal Finish
Satin Black
Brushed Bronze
Brushed Grey





This is a larger wheel size in a slightly different style:

Option 2:

I dont get messing about with such a beautiful car out of the box other than an exhaust upgrade to improve the sound even more.

At least if you are going to do it for your own personal tastes having it easily reversible is ok for resale
