So I was originally looking for a cab or targa... then this came along.

Take delivery Saturday.

It has a sunroof. So its like a targa coupe cabriolet, right? Right....?

It spec wise is basically ideal, apart from the decrepid 1.41 PCM software. Bit different to the planned blue, grey or silver Targa or Cab though. But it has a sunroof!

Car is a bit stonechipped and the interior is scuffed, so agreed a full detail & stone chip repair & OPC 111 pt check pass conditional for purchase.

Excited and terrified all at the same time ;-p

Plan to pay to get the PCM upgrade & the gearbox if necessary, other than a cable for my phone, anything anyone else would recommend? Any recommended Gap insurers or thoughts? Parkers suggests its worth considerably less than I paid for it, which I hope is just due to the fat optional extras spec more than anything else.

PDK C4s.

Optional extras:
Porsche Vehicle Tracking System, Heated seats, ParkAssist (parking aid rear), Universal Audio Interface, Extended navigation module, Telephone Module, 7-speed double clutch transmission (PDK), Porsche Crest embossed on head restraints, Cruise Control, Sports Chrono Package Plus, Sports Exhaust System, Electric tilt/slide sunroof, Automatic dimming interior mirror with integrated rain sensor, Rear Wiper, Adaptive Sports Seats, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, 19-inch Carrera Sport Wheels, Sport Design Steering wheel with paddle shift, Seat belts in silver-grey, BOSE Surround Sound system, Side strips with model designation, Front air intakes opaque Aluminum look, wing mirror opaque aluminium look, illuminated door-sill guards, customisation package PDK gear lever, outer door-sill guards in stainless steel, contrast stitching, Voice Control.

Thanks ;-p Anyone got any OPC recommendations? Both east and west london seem to get totally slagged off on Pistonheads, and on thursday the 'Do I complete the purchase?' all critical 111 pt check gets done. Right now its with west london but... PH has made me... nervous

Bit of a trek for you but OPC Tonbridge do a good job. Have done work on mine and I have been happy, have not heard any bad comments, and of course you get a healthy tipec discount :wink:

Car looks great.

Got it home without pranging it ;-p victory, though omfg I went into a petrol station at 10mph and heard the bottom contact. Really not kidding about needing to do everything remotely not flat at 4mph.
