Given the mileage and colour I'd say its priced right. Carbon interior looks nice.

What do you lads think of this colour?

Rare colour and gearbox on a Gen 2.

I'm going to see this :thumb:

Given I sold it last week ...what would you like to know about it fella? :thumb: 8)

Wow...can you PM a contact number. It would be nice to know the car.

Carbon interior makes a big difference to the interior IMO.

Just make sure you check it carefully, as the parts are not cheap to replace if they are chipped/warped - I had the OPC replace a couple of parts on mine..

Actually would you mind giving me an idea on roughly how much they charge? My carbon center console has a little bend on it. Hardly noticeable but I know its there.

Eye-watering on the cost of the whole console (new - they have sold a used one for almost half that:

in my case, it was only the ashtray cover that had warped, and the dash trim that had a chip (I'm guessing from a cupholder) - fortunately changed them without complaint, but some of the companies I'd looked at were pricey even for those - Teile, MACarbon and Suncoast.

Cheers for that, I think I saw someone (here on this site) mention a company that could repair them. I'll see if I can find the thread.

Carbon inside is just pointless, so are the door sills, It scratches, chips, weighs no different than plastic, where it is, it is it does not need to be strong, which is its biggest need - its just pleasing to the eye. Piano black, or colour coded looks just as good. :thumb:

Looks are subjective so no right or wrong answer there but they are a very expensive and desirable option so not exactly pointless :)

I think it is a subtle way to enhance the interior and the OE stuff is quite durable :puh:

If it makes you feel all warm inside and "Sporty" I am Ok with that :thumb:
 
I really like the colour. I could live with it. 8)

Pastel colours are in these days. Look at riviera blue 718's!
