Looks great and reminds me what mine will look like when I get around to cleaning it :laugh: Good to see the black roof, may have to think about getting mine wrapped.

How do you find the extra go compared with your previous 7.5P?

Hi Watts
It does seem a lot more lively. Most of the driving I did yesterday was on motorways or A roads, bringing it back from Scotland. I think I will appreciate the extra poke on some twisty B roads. I’m getting the Cup 2 tyres changed for my Pilot Sport 4’S. Also taking it a bit easy as it had only done 15miles.
Try & get out between the showers and give yours a clean. It’s certainly worth it with a white car. Strangely this is the first white car I’ve owned. Cheers, Chas.

Lovely car especially the Akrapovic Exhaust! Definitely take it easy for the first 1,000 miles while everything settles  :smiley:

How come you're ditching the Cup 2 tyres, after a bit more wet performance?

Thanks willni, yes I would imagine the Cup 2’s are a bit iffy in the wet.
Like you suggest, I will give it 1k miles to settle in.
