I need that me being a short a*** will be able to see more of the front end of the car .Will need to check out my seat as not sure that part is all velcrowed in or not . Could do with raising the seat up a tad. Went to see about getting the wheels done Silver line and Black face with Silver inside .Doing one for the local OPC so will see how they look quoted £80 a wheel or £60 just with the Black face and Silver inside .Then i thought how would a Red line look with the Black a bit like the Green and Black look of the Cayman.

Daro! Don't be encouraging Brian to deface his beautiful, low mileage, rare colour, sought after Spyder. The lairy RS style may work better on a coupe than on a roadster (don't know why but FBR has the right eye and might help us out there). Take the GT3 RS 4.0. I think it looks cool.

But someone took inspiration from it and applied it to a Spyder[:'(] It must be like a tattoo addiction where it's hard to stop once your start[&o]

I say stop at the black wheels Brian. But ultimately you need to do what YOU want. By the way, the inner rim when the wheels are painted black is grey, not silver - the same as with your wheels
 
That is soooooo coooool like that a lot ...do i have the **** to go ahead need's to be a very fine red line to make it look right and looks like black on inside of the rims are better looking Flat 6 I meant to say grey ie the same as the wheels are at present ...if i dont like it can get them done the same colour as they where. I think they would look better in a silver than the grey factory colour supplies. The company is the Wheel Specialist a franchise .they do a nice Antracite colour that matches the air intakes color Brian
 
Daro Just yesterday, someone educated me to the existence of the 32" rim. When I saw it I was speechless and since then I do tend react strongly to 'personalisation'. After seeing these i'll never be the same again.

What been happening whilst I've been away? Have you guys been on the wacky backy?[:-]
 
Welcome back John[:)] In summary, Brian is considering some changes to his car. We're waiting for GeeForce to update us on a car he's considering RobK let his dear mother buy a car without the presence of his keen eye and then slated it afterwards[;)] MrD has 2 very very clean cars The buckets vs sports seat debate rumbles on. The Solihull car (with sports seats) has sold. Oh and my wind deflector clips have finally arrived. I've only been waiting since last September. Gonna get them installed next week. Woohoo!

Good work their Prof flat6 your memory is excellent however a few more small points for John to ponder yonder Welcome Back AGAIN! Which of the used Spyders available today would you buy OPC Indi or Private cars all included [;)] Which Spyders will be worth the serious money in years to come bucket with manuals or buckets with pdk and same again with hot chairs You could also add those with the real deal wheels or those with a wheel upgrade [:eek:]

ORIGINAL: MrDemon the Market has still not found it's feet with these cars yet, but I put money on a large price divide in the future with PDK and sports seats vs Manual and buckets.
Mr D this one is available today for a whopping £43k and it is a very strange specification even if the asking price was a more realistic £37k due to no mileage to speak of I think this actual spec is always going to be hard work unless priced accordingly[&o] NO SPYDER WHEELS[:eek:]: NO SPORTS CHRONO[:eek:]: NO PSE: [:eek:] 2 Doors, Automatic, Convertible, Petrol, White, 1,800 miles, (Yes that's right only 1,800 miles !!!), 1 Lady Owner, This car was bought as a gift and has only been used on a handful of occasions. Feature packed car, in addition to standard features this fantastic car has: PDK (auto) box, 3 Spoke leather sports steering wheel with shift paddles, Porsche touch screen communication management with extended Sat Nav, Carrera19" Turbo II Alloys, Storage bin in centre console with Porsche crest embossed, Park Assist, Roll-over bars in exterior colour, instrument dials in Carrera White, climate control, sound package plus, Bluetooth telephone module, sports seats in black leather/alcantara, Porsche luxury floor mats. £43,000
