125 respondents here so far. I wonder what percentage of ownership this represents. 10%? Less or more?

I got it this afternoon! So far so good! Tomorrow a 500km drive to Switzerland.



Just one question for others who have this car, there are two little hinged flaps, one on each side of the car just ahead of the air intakes, they don/t need to be used to put the top up, as far as I can tell. Does anyone know what they are for? I'm guessing to pick up crap people accidentally drop in it, but I don't know, any ideas.

ps. not a great photo.... the car is Guards Red, not orange.

I think those are just left over regular spyder flaps they didn't bother to design out. This car was allowed MINIMUM update cost. That much is obvious.

I don’t understand the question about “two little hinged flaps”. Can you be more specific?

I assume you received the OM, it’s a pretty good reference.

I think he's referring to the two flaps you pop up, when lifting the top, on the GT spyder. Those pieces are now fixed in place on your car (I presume).

It’s the reference “just ahead of the intakes…” that’s throwing me

@Amochosto Getting also closer to my date (end of Sept), out of curiosity, did you do any paint protection/PPF before you went on the road?

they are not fixed on the Spyder RS but your explanation makes a lot of sense.

No I didn’t. When I get back home I will.

Oh those…never touched them on the RS.

Not required for any top on/off for the RS.

Rereading my question, I noticed I didn’t mention the flaps were under the trunk lid at the side of the convertible top apologies for that.

Thats my plan as well, any regrets with that?
Did you incur any damage to the front or somewhere from scratches or stone chips?

Just locked a PTS allocation at 10k over and torn on getting shark blue or white vs. getting PTS in mint green. Thoughts on opting for PTS?
