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

I guess it is important to remember one has to buy a car specced by someone else. When numbers are so limited like the 675lt there will be things one doesn't care for. For me luckily I found a well loved black car which is my favourite colour. The only thing I don't love is the wheels so I am trying to make her my love.

Here is my other new love, manual with exclusive crayon interior, which will be kept completely stock other than fitting my jcr exhaust.

Yes because returning a 675lt with a Thorney custom exhaust back to stock is much easier than swapping wheels back on, isn't it rambo?

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 1 for me. Not sure on colour choice though with your incoming 675 though! Are you sure it's not worth just waiting for a used set of the superlights to come available?

I am going to give it a couple more weeks then I am ordering my own set.

Funny enough, Iam pretty sure the wheels on my car are the most expensive option from McLaren.

Option 1 if you really must change the wheels, they look pretty much identical to the OEM 10 spoke Ultra Lightweight wheels.

Congratulations Brnt great that you grabbed a bargain, hope you are v excited at incoming new motor
Ref wheels, I'd live with the car for a bit and see how you feel about the rims as currently fitted. Am sure a set of Mc oem 5 or 10 spoke wheels will pop up at some point.
Regards the previous post on exhaust, is quite loud as standard, again would live with it and see how you get on. Plus is spider so can drop rear window for increased volume if wished.

I am over the moon, thanks

I will not do anything to risk the warranty on the 675. No exhaust, no tunes, Nadal, nothing.

I was referring to my 992 touring as I already have a jcr titanium beauty from my Speedster.

There is a set of 10 spokes on ebay for £10k but that seems crazy to me.

[MOD500]

Yes that seems strong money for set of 10 spokes, they do pop up from time to time for sensible money (relative of course). Ref exhaust - was commenting following another poster proposing exhaust change on LT, if use car on mway and long trips then even more fruity set-up might be too much. Agree on keeping car stock to maintain the McWarranty. Porsche looks lovely

Turbo cars are quiet doing motorway speed on a run.
On an LT the road noise will be way louder than the exhaust.
The benefit of 200 cel race cats is more noise lower down the rev range and better throttle response.
They also promote more pops and bangs on both upshift and downshift but not cheap at £6k

The 675LT is plenty loud enough already, lots of drama in the engine dept., inside and out. I only know one owner who has an aftermarket exhaust and its too much IMHO. As they have limited insulation there is more road noise than other cars at motorway speeds but you can still chat without raising your voice and my wife doesn't mind which is the big test. The big bonus on the m-way, with the 675LT, is 36mpg! The last thing I would ever do to a 675LT is spend £6K to make it sound like a Vauxhall Corsa pulling up to MacDonald's.

Wait if I spent £6k I can't hear my speak!? That's priceless 😆 🤣 😂

Just kidding.

I think there is a strong case leaving this car oem. Rare and future collectible.

Well said Paul. Custom exhaust would seriously devalue a 675lt IMHO. I certainly wouldn't look at one.

I wouldn't have bought mine if it had exhaust or tune, etc

I would leave it 100% stock as its a fantastic and unique spec as it is. Its a great buy but its so easy to spoil the deal by adding after market parts to it. Just get it paint corrected before adding PPF if it hasn't already got it.

You are 100% right Taffy but the wheels are a must for me. I hope a set of 10 spokes oem turn up but it's looking doubtful.
