Stutopia Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Tyres are consumables, so don’t really count when I do my man maths. I had to drop similar right after purchase. Looks like you’re having fun and the car looks mint, which is what it’s all about. 👍 1 Quote

Full year was quoted at £447. Oh and it includes extended car hire cover and a £15 admin charge for changing policy mid year. Edited September 19, 2022 by The Bounty Bar Kid Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted September 19, 2022 Author Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) Just been out this morning for a 95 mile drive around Surrey. Good points... she sticks like glue to the road. So rapid too. That PDK gearbox is something special. PASM is awesome too, can really feel it all tighten up and feel more planted. The exhaust is amazing, don't see why I'd want to change it tbh. Bad points... The sat nav is so out of date. Can't wait for Android auto mod on Wednesday morning. Edited September 19, 2022 by The Bounty Bar Kid 1 Quote
Stutopia Posted September 19, 2022 Posted September 19, 2022 Glad you’ve had a chance to hear how glorious it is before placing any exhaust orders! 1 Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted September 21, 2022 Author Posted September 21, 2022 Today I got the Android auto module added. This kit was supplied by NMautomotive and fitted by Sextons London. When I got there, I also asked about installation of a rear view camera which they did at the same time. At first the Android auto install was a great idea. When finished, he showed it to me and all was great. Then came the trip back home. I was playing music from my Spotify account, and it sounded way off. Started thinking that I'd wasted my money as sound was truly atrocious. Luckily I then found the settings for sound, and for some reason he'd played around with the equaliser. Reset it to default and had decent sounding music again 🥳 1 Quote

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted September 23, 2022 Author Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) Thought we'd pop in on our way to Abingdon for today. Staying in a hotel for the night. My mates bought me a Supercar experience for my 40th and I bought the same thing for my dad for father's Day. We're both driving a Ferrari 458, California, Porsche GT3 RS, and McLaren 720s. He test drove the 296gtb and F8 tributo. F8 it is 😍 Edited September 24, 2022 by The Bounty Bar Kid 3 Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted September 26, 2022 Author Posted September 26, 2022 Right so I'm an idiot 🤦🏽♂️... Red seat belt arrived today and there's only 1. I thought that it came in pairs. Apparently not. So that means it's £400 for just one 😭 Now do I return it, or just man up and buy the other one for another £400 🤷🏽♂️ 2 Quote

Umster Posted September 27, 2022 Posted September 27, 2022 For £400 let me know what colour seat belts you want and I'll sort a pair out for you. If you want to spend £800 I can also get them fitted for you. 1 Quote

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted October 2, 2022 Author Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Gave Carla a good clean yesterday and waxed her for the first time 😊 Rained last night so here's some beading pics Edited October 2, 2022 by The Bounty Bar Kid 2 Quote
HEADPHONES Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 First waxing........where you really get to know the paintwork Must feel good waxing those curves 1 Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted October 2, 2022 Author Posted October 2, 2022 Yep, I use dodo juice purple haze with my fingers. Prefer that method than using an applicator. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted October 16, 2022 Author Posted October 16, 2022 This weekend's additions... Yesterday got the windows tinted. Today gave Carla a quick clean and fitted some side vent grills and two front grills. Couldn't fit the centre one as it's too cold for the 3m tape to stick properly. Needs to be 18°c or higher. 2 Quote
GranTurismoEra Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 Seatbelt upgrade or colour change service. Could try that. If you dont want the hassle then can just buy Airbag Team Ltd, Rotherham Found these guys on Ebay. They offer day service but theyre in Rotherham. You could get any used Cayman belts and find a similar company that does upgrades. Alternatively https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165626444788?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1lma1B9eRci&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=qLgmErXZSUu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Did you return the previous belt?

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted November 14, 2022 Author Posted November 14, 2022 I ended up buying another one. Would rather go OEM. Having them fitted Wednesday 😊 1 Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted November 16, 2022 Author Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) So I took a trip to Parr Porsche this morning to get my costly Guards red seatbelts installed Whilst there they had a lovely array of cars there. I happened to park next to the Blue GT4 and after Stutopia trying to convince me that the ducktail looks good I had to compare as I could see it in person. It does look lovely but it's a slippery slope imo if I got it, as it does look nicer but changes the look of the car. So I'd need to get a more aggressive front bumper too to match. Then the rear diffuser, and where does it all end??? Oh why do they make these cars so pretty and tempting 😭 Edited November 16, 2022 by The Bounty Bar Kid 1 Quote
