Good things come to those who wait...(and then wait some more)

Lovely job - looks great under the lights

Cheers. I know they're set up to make it look as best as possible, but it doesn't look half bad in regular daylight as well!

I guess you park it in gear, because no matter how nice it looks we all KNOW your handbrake isn't THAT good.

Wow, just wow!!!!


What a beauty! Love the bronze wheels and their design, the Gruppe M and those aero sills

Can’t wait to see your car in person!

Fantastic job

Well wear!

I would just echo what so many others have said. The car looks stunning. Black paintwork and beautiful bronze wheels. It’s great when a plan comes together.

Ha, yes, it's in gear alright. The irony being that even though that's a flat surface, the handbrake would struggle to hold it in place. It certainly needs some attention!

Thanks Attilio, likewise I'm looking forward to seeing yours, hopefully with that beautiful lip installed as well.

Bonus points to you sir! An A-Team quote is always something to be cherished :rofl:

Thought I'd check out your thread after the DSC sensor chat, lovely whip mate!

Thanks! Hopefully it will be a DSC-error free whip with minimal cost/effort

Lovely coupe Calps, the bronze alloys look great with the black paintwork, fair play. Hard to beat a black car when it’s all shiny and cleaned up

Is the GruppeM intake purely for sound and aesthetics (looks great) or is there some performance gains also?

Thanks ShootingBrake.

There's potentially a placebo effect that makes it "feel" a bit faster (perhaps "urgent" is a better description), with the sound it produces reinforcing that impression as well.

I'd guess it liberates another horse or two, but I'd be lying if I claimed that I could definitely feel any real power increase. That said, I don't doubt that it has set the stage for increases to be had, but I suspect that a remap and some exhaust changes would be needed to really to bring them to life.
