Just got back from picking up the new wheels :)

Over the moon and so impressed with the drive. Specs are:

- 52k on the clock
- X50 pack
- Full Porsche Service history

The previous owner has covered the front bumper/bonnet/wings in clear paint protector and appears as OCD as myself, looking forward to giving her a good 10+ hour clean! :) (quite normal for me!)

:D A car is never your own until you have had chance to bond, that my friend is in a 10 hour clean :D . Normally for me that's when i start to find over spray and inherent paranoia sets in :mrgreen: .
 
Nice :congrats: :welcome:
 
Congratulations.

The car looks good, I hope it is.

Tell us more. Obviously not them one you were first after.

What part of the world are you?

( obviously not Birmingham!)
 
Will you go down the same route as with the Z3M, or will this remain standard looking?
 
Thanks for all the comments :)

There are no immediate plans but already i've got my eye on a few subtle touches , it would also look quite on some custom BBS LM's? :lol:...we'll see!
