Re: How easy is it to kerb standard gen 3 S wheels

Easy enough to justify Surround View as an option compared to the aggro and hassle of refurb with Diamond Polished finish & clearcoat. For a painted finish like Black or Satin Platinum I might be tempted to take my chances with Reverse Camera only and go the refurb route if it happened.

Re: Porsche Dashcam First Impressions

weeks in my experience leaving it in the garage on a tricke charger (it starts up saying “events recorded”). It shuts down once battery drops down to about 11v so it all depends on your state of charge but I would imagine a few days.

Re: Macan S - Lockdown Spec

Nice spec and the Air Suspension is one of the better value options. Painted rear apron helps the look and GB goes well with Pebble which had the happy effect of lightening up the cabin so much that I didn’t need Pan Roof so a big saving, which I used to upgrade to the Acoustic/insulated glass (a gr...

Re: Macan EV

This UK legislation is going to lead to plenty of unintended consequences. I have decided to cancel my 2024 GTS and stick with my 2022 S as it is not a daily driver and is as good as new. I am taking delivery of a new Polo as runabout in a few months as I read they are going the way of the Fiesta an...

Re: Another Price Hike?

There was certainly a VW price rise. I have a Polo on order (5 month lead time!) and beat the c.3% rise on Oct 3rd. Finance rates went up too.

Re: You Pay Peanuts ………..

Sorry to point this out but this thread has descended into a bunch of well off blokes poking fun at others paid less than they are (even the thread title implies it). Have a go at Inchape or Sytner Group or Porsche GB by all means but probably best leave people trying to build a career out of it.

Re: Desperation is starting to show

A cautionary tale from 6 years ago... I reasoned that the first owner had taken the full depreciation hit on an i8 after 9 months when it had dropped from £114k new to £75k after 3k miles use. I sold it just under a year later for £57k after putting just 1800 miles on it. When there is a glut of nic...

Re: Macan S Gentian Blue, about to lock in!

The other thing about Gentian is how it changes according to light. On a sunny day it can look a very rich shade of blue and this may influence your thoughts about sideblades painted or not.

Re: Macan S Gentian Blue, about to lock in!

Here is my GB S showing standard exhaust without £600 chrome tips. Privacy glass is the insulated/acoustic one which can look different to the normal type (it certainly does inside). I went for black lower trims and painted sideblades but also had painted rear apron. Only you will know what looks go...
