Well, it seems that Sheerness opened its gates at the weekend and mine is now nestled in Cambridge to be fettled ready for collection tomorrow. Excitement is a huge understatement. Really hope you guys get yours out of Emden soon. I’ll talk to Nottingham tomorrow, did Cambridge Audio have any options as I will be within 5 minutes of them tomorrow and could pop in.

For me it was a toss up between part PPF and full PPF and going on diet for a month.
I’m on diet, lost 12 lbs so far and saving money on food.
Down side is having to fend off so many attractive women who try to chat me up!
I bet many of you are struggling with this since you’ve taken delivery of your car??!

@NewTo911’s that is awesome news!
I hope that the Emden—Sheerness is flowing.

Looking forward to your feedback on Audio.

Great to hear. Bet you won't sleep tonight! Can you remember what date your car finished production?

Ha, if everyone else had your exhaust…maybe different story

I will not ! I think it was finished around the 14th but can’t remember exactly. I do remember it getting to Emden really quickly.

@ECNJ That car cover is hiding the best part! The air pass through on the sides is such a cool feature!

To be honest we were playing with the settings and I checked the box on Individual mode where it puts it up. I just turned off the car and it was still up when I took the pictures. I like the look both up or down but I'll make sure it's down for future pictures.

The base system is basically all treble and midrange with no bass. I turned the bass up to +5 and treble to -1 which is the best sounding I could make it. It's pretty bad, way worse than I was expecting. It's loud enough but it sounds like all the sound is coming from the driver's door speaker. There is no "sound stage" whatsoever. And yes, I checked the other speakers were working. I really don't even know where to start with it.

Or maybe you are Bob Reincarnate?

Don't worry about this and you do your wing the way you want it, bro! Especially if you are hearing grief from a guy who perma-attached a tail to his own car talking about lines being ruined... Just sayin'. Happy snaps to illustrate my point from before:

Lower aka Is my Spoiler Up Mode? aka Ask your doctor if Porsche is right for you Mode:


Higher aka T Mode! aka Is that your Spoiler or are you just happy to see me Mode?:

Yep, I’m just getting the front end PPF’d. Improves weight distribution.
