At $399k plus circa $35k stamp duty etc it’ll be around $435k drive away. Still a reasonable markup on new albeit the cheapest to date that I’ve seen. And new price did increase recently. But it’s yellow……👎🏻 Yeah new price increase changes it to compare. At least someone has done the run in kms for the next guy. I love yellow! sleazius and SS 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 27August, 2023 Report Share Posted 27August, 2023 I'm big on yellow but that car is missing a few options. Wasn't the cheapest the one that went on collecting cars for 360+ BP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will quote to your personal requirements for a full PPF on 4RS I believe he quoted at DJM 13k. I think the GT3 is around 10k I had my windscreen done and added a black out area to the rear. cafe_racer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was very slow to respond and quoted $13,379 for full PPF which surprised me. While i was waiting for Max, I spoke to Auto Attention in Richmond (Damon Lawrence). I saw on Insta that he details and ceramic coats some of the cars that Max wraps. Turns out AA do lots of wraps as well. In fact, he has the contract for Lotus and does heaps of Emiras (2 in the workshop yesterday). Damon didn't want to cut Max's lunch but I asked him to quote and in the end, we agreed on $10k which includes: pre detail (car was filthy after 1,000km drive on Thursday!) indigo blue stickers to wing end plates and front splitter full PPF (including double layering around wheel arches) full ceramic coating afterward, including wheels Much better value than Max and was great to deal with. I dropped my car off yesterday, pickup Tuesday 12th. I understand Max is a bit of a guru and I realise some people are very particular about PPF. But I am not one of those. If there is a join here or there, that doesn't bother me. But Damon went to great lengths to explain their process yesterday - they use a mix of templates and custom cut PPF. They carefully wrap into all edges and openings. He showed me a couple of spots where joins cannot be avoided, meh. I'm sure I will be happy with the result. He works on some cool cars - i particularly like the restored '87 Lamborghini Jalpa. Last time I saw one of those would have been late 80s as a teenager at Brent's in Oakleigh - we used to drop in periodically when in the area, to ogle their fancy cars. 1 hour ago, cafe_racer said: How’s the new car DJM? Love it. After 1,000km in the seat on Thursday through some epic roads, I didn't want to get out of it! Back in the Cayman chassis but with the full fruit engine and short stacked PDK, happy. Pickup from PPF 12 Sept, throw on another 300km to complete 1,500km run then into PCB 14/15 Sept for oil change and to fit harnesses and extinguisher. Then I'm ready for more epic drives and the odd track day. hugh, DM911, 80mercury and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gallium Posted 2September, 2023 Report Share Posted 2September, 2023 I wasn't happy with AA at all. Dust under the PPF and why would you wash cars near where new PPF is being installed on another car? SS 3 and DJM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 2September, 2023 Report Share Posted 2September, 2023 Melbourne prices for PPF are up there. Just had the Emira done for ~5500, will have to check the invoice. I'm not fussy about PPF either. Its there to protect the paint, nothing more imo. DJM and 80mercury 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gallium Posted 5September, 2023 Report Share Posted 5September, 2023 Out of curiosity, has anyone enquired as to whether the new vanadium grey metallic paint and carmine red accented interior available in the GT4RS spyder will eventually be available for the coupe?

WGA Posted 5September, 2023 Report Share Posted 5September, 2023 In the first 5 mins or so, he highlights what he thinks are the weaknesses of the 4RS and what SSR have done to correct them. And more comments at the 16:30 mark after the 1st lap and then again at 27:00 mark after the 2nd lap are also interesting. 80mercury, SS 3 and donR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
