So this is a lovely car in it's own right. And the modifications look really good. But what is the point of the GT3RS stickers?

95% of people will go "wow, it's a Porsche". 4% of people will go "wow, it looks like a really fast Porsche, not just any Porsche". That leaves the 1% of people who actually know what a GT3RS is and therefore will know it's not a real one.

It just seems someone has gone to the effort of getting a high end Christoper Ward watch, then perhaps having some personalisation and engraving done...and at the last minute they've stuck a big Rolex badge on it.

I get backdating. I sort of get RSR replicas. But this? No. Am I missing something?

Yes, the tiptronic ones were very rare. Unique I would say.

They missed a trick. If they'd made a Viper Green one I'm sure people would be queuing round the block.

I get the horror expressed, but just goes to show how a few external tweaks can produce a head turner?

Been for sale there for months..
Hugely overpriced given its damaged / repaired and the milage etc. At the right price I'm sure there would be a buyer out there but at nearly £35k they are crazy!

15-20Ks worth it I'd never buy from them.

Amazed at just how much bad feedback they've received.
Quick search on Google for their name and there are literally hundreds of posts from people who've had bad experiences.

Can't believe anybody buys anything from them.. Clearly why they've changed their trading name recently..
