Yes four dot for a Mclaren

That’s a lovely looking car. Lovey spec also.

Has anyone fitted the convertible roof kit to operate the roof from the key fob, if so what are the details

I intended to on my first car but thought it might invalidate the warranty so never did. I'd still quite like to - mostly because you gain one touch control from the switch in the car - but suspect I still won't get around to it.

From memory (this was for 650), you remove the 'parcel shelf' behind the seat - it pulls out / slightly up.
The roof module was on the passenger side - you unplugged it and then inserted the new module between them.
If I remember correctly, you also had to remove a small spring or something from the alarm sensor for the roof.

It all seemed pretty simple.

I did it myself yes.

Smart Top.

Ok thanks where did you get the kit for the 600 LT as it's not showing on the web site

I don't think the McLaren ones are model specific, mine had details specific to a 650s on it and it fitted and worked......

[HIS LM]

That's helpful thanks, anyone fitted an aftermarket exhaust I hear Mac NF offer something special.

[Davyt]

It’s probably the US exhaust, basically comes without the valves,,

[tyrrell]

It’s this

[tyrrell]

Instead of this which is standard

[HIS LM]

They said it was from the US so I guess so, what's it like in terms of noise, flames, price and usability ?
Will it impact Mac warranty ?

[Davyt]

Not bothered fitting one to mine as I like to keep it standard,, supposedly a bit more noise at idle and low revs,, apparently not all dealerships will fit them and there’s always debate if the warranty would be affected or not,, ( new heat shields are also required )

Talking to a 600lt spider owner in lime green last weekend, I'm pretty sure he said this it was possible to buy the US piece through a UK dealer, difficult to see how that might impact the warranty should that be the case.

You can/could buy the US spec exhaust via McLaren for £700. Don't bother paying daft prices that some places believe you need to pay for the exhaust!

Just because a dealer will sell you an exhaust and fit it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s warranty friendly,, like I said there’s always debate on this on the 600 chat groups, good news is I don’t believe anyone’s had issues with their cars that might point the finger to this mod !

Debate; but any hard conclusive proof of a warranty declined ?

No that’s what I’ve just said! Which model do you own btw ??

[tyrrell]

Existing heat shield as you can see is fine, it also flames much more at night which is great fun to see.

[Davyt]

Thought the top heat shield was different to cover where the valves would be ? Or are you not running top shield ?

[tyrrell]

No, did not have to touch any heat shield to fit the rear pipes.
