you can also still hope that TYD is just mistaken

Being Seattle area myself, I know the feeling of wanting it for summer time. My BGTS is in bay area now waiting transport up here. I'm hoping to have it around end of month.

I'm happy with how mine turned out, although I went Arctic Grey for the interior.

Since you can still follow your car on TYD while I cannot since once you do Euro Delivery, TYD considers the car to be delivered, please let us know when you see movement of your car out of the port

Did you check the naca ducting under the plastic cover? The gt4rs thread shows one side being crushed closed due to incorrect wiring harness installation. Might be more than one instance of this.

I routinely remove that cover during detailing. Same now for RS.

It’s a takes a little finesse now with the ducting.

Anyway mine all plumbed correctly.

I’m surprised that no one has commented on these little devils and the 7 levels of Hades to install. They deserve their own thread

Certainly another disqualifying “feature” of the 718 RS. Top compared to these is quick and simple.

When I went out to picture them they weren’t fully seated since my last install.

Anyway, there is a slotted tab and a flexible rubber insert as well as the rubber channel.

Have fun!

^^^ @TXshaggy So you have to do this to remove the cowl cover and gain access to the battery etc?

I wonder if you can verify you DON'T have a crushed air duct without removing this. Although, if you need to do it to get to the battery, probably a wise idea to know how.

Yes, it'll be obvious if the wrong stuff is under/up there -- no removal necessary.

You'll remove this panel for access to CL removal tool. compressor, battery, etc...

Probably something you want to dry run.
