A distinct improvement, won't make it any quicker though :D but maybe you'll be off to Lichfield Motors next?

👍 ;)

But Jon’s is newer, more modern, has better tech, and much lower mileage! :)

Thanks Neil - not quite the full Simon imitation though because his is a LOT faster and full of very expensive goodies 😊
I will admit to becoming increasingly enchanted by racing yellow though, it’s definitely a standout colour!

Looks very smart Jon and clearly very high standard of workmanship.

IMHO it is the best standout colour but one I will never be allowed to own. The OWMBO and I followed one into Brum a couple of nights ago and she grandly announced "Who on earth would drive a car in that colour!"

Best she doesn’t come along to a forum meet then! There were three Racing Yellow 911s in attendance at Goodwood! :lol:

I’d be very happy with that colour on a Macan if it were one of the standard/regular ones 🙂

Yes thanks Nick and looks wonderful in todays sunshine so all good. He even ceramic coated the callipers and “laser balanced” the wheels (whatever that is). He came as a recommendation and certainly is dedicated to the detail 👍

Looks really good Jon 👌🏻.
Shame the wheel nuts/bolts weren't done at the same time though, makes a massive difference when they're done.
Personally, i'd have changed the tyres as well while they were off to Michelins too.
