Hmmmm [8D] Does anyone know how much the "Spyder" badge is from OPC? Thinking about removing the "boxster" badge, sorry RobNothing since, so it was right as rain for Phil to borrow for a while []
.... Also been quoted £250 for the front bumper to be re-spayed at Scotts of Nottingham. OPC Nottingham use these instead of there approved bodyshop Chartwells [8|] I'm very temped to get it done.
] Have you tried touching in the worst chips yourself? If you are patient, you can get a surprisingly good finish (have you found any I did?). The trick is to get a very fine artist's brush and to put the tiniest quantity of the correct paint in the chip then gradually build it up. After a few coats then a dab of lacquer and you're almost there. If you are really brave you can then use the finest grade of wet sand paper and flatten the lacquer. They are almost invisible then. Failing that, use some polish applied with suitable caution then wax it back up. The chip near the front offside headlight was the worst on the car - depends on how you are going to use it - we discussed it on here before - sod's law dictates you pick up new ones as soon as you drive home and the replacement paint finish won't be as good as the one it left the factory with. You currently have a beautiful 4 year old car - where do you draw the line - if you do the bumper then there are the chips on the bonnet - if you do those, then there are the ones by the air intakes ahead of the rear wheels etc. You could go on forever or just go out and enjoy the sunshine and the empty roads whilst everyone else stays in and watches the football!

] I have tried both naked and Spyder ... for now it's Spyder[]
Only on stainless or chrome tips ( NOT Black)ORIGINAL: Tracy WilkinsTry using 1000 grade fine steel wool on the tailpipes with your Autosol. That's how i clean up my customers exhaust tailpipes. Cheers CliffORIGINAL: kitchens To date mine has had no problems and hope it stays that way..off course they took a bit more time making the Red ones [
If it has nothing to do with being seduced by the option list, then why are there so many specced cars about then? What i find funny is that 90%, or more of owners will never go near a track,so qouting tests and lap times on tracks against other cars on this thread is pointless.
when I am back from Spa have a drive of mine see what you think. PS the OPC had to fix my horn alsoORIGINAL: zyp My horn got stuck too - so not just red cars [

it seems to upset some, but these people who get upset quote reviews of cars which are nothing like what they own !!! people also get confused about naked car, or no spec, these full on lightweight cars are mostly more RRP with the sports options and PCCB's as the fat bit were free non cost options. my cars very well speced up with a high retail list price. again options are key to desirability, most buyers already wanting the Spyder wheels and PSE it seems. I have added 0.5kg as both my cars are full leather (2.5k option) , it's a must have option for me on a 60k car, really not a fan of the plastic dash and door tops. so no leather for me is a hugh deal breaker had enough of plastic owning a few Lotus's track only car then yes no leather but no one I know has a track only car, they are not track cars. My R is a luxury Sports coupe it demands full leather. only thing I wish for at my age is that the R had xenon's but seems very rare to fine them on the R or Spyder, so just run uprated bulbs. my GTS spec would be £73k the base car is what 56k, no way on earth would I buy a PASM 981 with sports seats and all the soft options, it's not the car I want. but 35k for my R in part ex for a £73k car to match it's spec well the number don't add up even with man maths to even think about changing.
