Some of the styling touches are very nice indeed.

And after having driven a manual 911 recently at the PEC I forgot how much I love manual cars so I think again the Manual T is perfectly suited with the manual box.

I hope you thoroughly enjoy it and nice to see it will be used regularly. Enjoy and it won’t be long (hopefully) before the nicer weather appears.

Hope you have read Col Lambs washing thread properly. You will need it 😉 👍
Currently agonising over whether to get the Gtechniq treatment or not. Would it be £700 to £800 well spent...? 🤔
If it’s a keeper for a while then i would. Assuming you are going to wash th car yourself and not take it to the local car wash guys then yes...
It just makes the car so much easier to clean...

My advise would be if you are going for it, do it sooner rather than later. You will only need a stage 1 machine polish and then ceramic coated.
At the very least (again based on you washing it) get the wheels fully coated as they are a sod to clean.

Either way you will love it no matter what you do. 👍

Thanks, Kas. Fully intending to keep the car for a while, but I found the Panamera pretty easy to clean, and I had that for a year and 17k miles with no Gtechniq treatment. I know it makes no difference on re-sale. Just thinking if it makes sense to spend £700 to £800 on making the car slightly easier to clean. Yes, I'll definitely be cleaning it myself. Leaning towards putting the £700-£800 towards a winter wheel/tyre set instead... :geek:

Looking great definitely a colour that’ll stand out,personally I’ve done with manual boxes the PDKs are that good,love the interior combination though ,will you keep it 3 years I’m not sure and at 50k mileage it’ll take a hit on valuation but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Get the GT3 out and enjoy the experience it won’t melt in the rain ,if you’re waiting for fine weather you’ll have a long wait.
