Beautiful 718.....oh that's redundant.....all 718's are beautiful. Just a few more days and you will be in Porsche heaven.....man it's real fun to drive and drive and well you get the idea.

Welcome to the forum! Your car looks great! The blacked out taillights are a really nice touch along with the painted bumper.

Congratulations on the new car, enjoy it

Edit: Noticed you got the yellow break callipers also- did you get the ceramic break option too? Wow you've got a nicely specced out car!

My welcome also,

white and black looks great. Two colors design is what I like. Have fun and enjoy your first rides. After 2k miles the response button will be yours.>

Yes PCCB. It's an OPC demo car so pretty much loaded.

At least you won't have to travel very far to the Porsche experience centre & if I lived closer I'd certainly use it more. Those facilities are both educational & brilliant fun to boot, so make sure you take advantage. You're unlikely to regret it..................unfortunately your wallet will undoubtedly hate you. I envy you being so close & wish the facility was nearer to me (I've still been on numerous occasions despite the distance). The car's looking good & being as Carrera white was the colour of my first Porsche I've still got a real soft spot for it. The black wheels provide great contrast & were an excellent choice, even if not originally your own. The brakes though? My own car (Boxster S) is mega specced, but those are just so expensive. Really nice though & it's not a criticism because actual braking performance aside, the difference in purely unsprung weight is pretty dramatic. Having physically felt that weight difference I was actually quite shocked, they are just so light by comparison to the regular set up. Darn it, I think there might just be another bit of envy creeping in.

I am 5 miles away from Silverstone and know the Experience well. Have been very lucky to have had several sessions there in Classic 911s, 991s, 981s and now a 718S. Sadly, I don't get a free session with this purchase as technically it's a "used" car from OPC.

And yes the PCCBs are a welcome bonus. I would never have specced myself but hey! I'm not going to say no

Some quick pictures from collection earlier. One very happy 718s owner.
