Firstly, I decided to get the wheels painted later; apparantly Porsche only paint the outside. However, I am now going to sit on the fence and think about it. Several have advised against it. White wheels look great on my Aqua Blue Mini Cooper, but I'm not so sure on the Porsche. After all, should I go the whole hog and put bonnet stripes on as well??? [

As for freebies, I got very little, in fact bu**er all. I did get a good price for the Cayman S, especially in light of the huge drop in value since I sold it. Yes I too have to pay the full price for carpets, something that used to be thrown in. My Cayman carpets were hardly pristine, so I decided I would not spoil the Cab for a halfpenny of tar and bit the bullet. I suspect that as the credit crunch tightens the purse strings of OPCs they it seeks to wring the maximum out of their clients. That, in my opinion, is bad practice, as it will convince some not to buy at all.
I collect the car on Tuesday and will insist on a full tank of petrol. I have already got them to agree it will be Super unleaded, something they don't normally do, despite what Porsche recommend
we do!
Interestingly, when I collected my new Mini Cooper in March, they tried to charge me for petrol and oil!!!!!!! I refused to pay and just said I did not want any oil or petrol and told them to take it out. They did not remove it [
