Congrats Poupon McArr love the MB. I get more comments about the color than the car. Here is another pic from an Xperl promo shoot last week to tide you over

Looks great - Did you get a deal for letting them use your car for marketing purposes or something? Seems like that may be a good way to get reduced cost and some good photos

Same here; most, if not all people who approach me to comment on the car comment on the colour first. It's been interesting fielding questions from strangers, here are some of the odd ones I've gotten so far:
  • What colour is this? Is this a wrap?
  • Is it a Maserati?
  • Did you repaint the car this colour?
  • What year is this car? 2016?
Good luck @Poupon McArr , hope you'll be able to snag a MB! Couple of shots from that shoot, hoping to have more to share soon.

Too funny I have had a few good ones as well. I think the best yet comes from a friend who is a car guy? "Wow you can really hear the turbo how big is it?"

I had someone ask me how many cylinders (engine) were in my old 2.0T Cayman. I told him it was a 2.0L 4cyl turbo, but he was still pretty sure it was a V8 or bigger....

As for MB: definitely the #1 thing about the car is the color. Yea the aero bits look good too, but wouldn't attract near as much attention as MB does. Absolutely everywhere I go it draws looks

I think all of us getting MB probably didn’t get enough attention as kids and like the loud color

Anyone know of a Miami Blue Spyder on the ground at a dealer with LWB/PCCB/Black rims for sale ?
The normal searches only seem to turn up sold/ordered units online.

Thanks! Yes, that's the stock exhaust with the valves open.

Can someone please post a pic of MB with the silver wheels? I never considered it before but I saw a smaller pic on Instragram and it looked really good. Some people will argue black wheels will always look like donuts from far away!

For my second set of wheels, I may do silver.
