Great look but will rub like fook plus surely your adaptive dampers not work as planned

 

[MARKTHOMASBRAND]

Don't know the specs...it may even have "Air Ride" knowing those crazy Yanks :lol:

 

[dweezle]

The dampers should still work (they do on the FK2)
Not sure if they would suit the UK roads though

Ron is an amazing driver at The Ring and Spa, I have had coaching off him a couple of times in 997 GT3RS and Exige 260. Notice the FK8 they said had 19's.

Could be FK2 wheels or a type"O" on their part ? wheels look standard and clearances on brakes look normal to me interesting vid and good comparison of all the cars

 

[dweezle]

I miss Ron

 

[WelshyWelsh]

Definitely FK2 wheels on it.

 

[FaNtheMaN]

I miss Ron

Yep, the bigger boys drove him out of his Fk8 and into an S3.....

What’s with the hole in the grille? I haven’t read the ad by the way.

 

[Loxy]

They all have that hole. It's some yank reason about having the horn exposed required in a number of states, or something to that effect.

 

[WelshyWelsh]

Ouch, 10k depreciation in just over a year for me then!

Still love it and no plans to change for years yet so all part of buying new.

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[FaNtheMaN]

Ex demo as well so will be a bit less than your 67 platers.....I hope....

Got £26k P/X for a 67 (09/17) ex demo I sold 2 weeks ago, although still low miles (5k). I paid £28,995 in Feb so as far as I'm concerned ~ £300 PCM loss is good going compared to other cars at that age.

BTW - the PX wasn't at the expense of full discount on the new car, so a realistic value.

Can't wait for that price list, both look decent though

Are you jesting?

Imagine that was the 2019 facelift, those 17 and 18's on the forecourt would soon be snapped up by those hanging on!!
