Oh great point! Had not thought of that. Have to go back to the "base wheel" (saves 2500, not bad), you still get rear view mirrors in gray though :-(

I was wrestling with it till I was able to see both cars back to back yesterday (chalk with and without aero kit). For the little bit of tracking this car will do has to give some more downforce as well.

I may be in the minority here but I don’t like the pdls lights that turn with the steering wheel. Base lights for me please.

You guys that have already picked up your 2024’s, do they have the auto start stop option?

Someone mentioned in another thread that their manual 2024 was missing the option.

I was hoping mine being built now would also be missing ***.

I find auto stop start a pain and I switch it off in every car I drive, but to be fair the 911 stop start is one of the quickest I have ever experienced, almost instantaneous

Default At long last ...

One year, 3 months and four days after placing my order, I have taken delivery of my Carrera T !

A handful of drives later, I am thrilled with the car. I can't wait for the running-in kms to be completed.

Attached are a few photos: IGM; manual transmission; RAS; and sunroof, are the main options I chose.

Nahh, it's there on my '24. All you need to do is put your car into sport mode and it deactivates.

I live somewhere where, between my house and what could be recognised as a road, there is mainly mud and stones.
So, rear arch protection is important. Currently I am going with double PPF in that area, and the windscreen too.
I was wondering about installing discreet front mud flaps like these below and wondered if anybody else had installed something similar ?

thanks @Green_Tea ,

The shark fins are doing its job, look great and are often packed with mud after the rain.

I like the front flaps, I would want to see it in real life before I stick it on. Perhaps complemented with a decal so it doesn’t stand out(?)

Yes maybe, I ordered a set and will play about with them a bit before I fix them permanently. They aren’t too expensive so I can swallow it if they don’t look good.
This car won’t be a sunshine only machine, unlike the Italian GT it is replacing, so I am looking to protect as best I can.
