Hello my fellow 718 enthusiasts! It's been one year with my 718 S Manual. 2018 718 S Manual, Graphite blue metallic, black 14 ways, 20 inch Carrera Wheels finished in Aurum(I had them refinished from the stock satin platinum) you'll notice there's just a touch more red in the Aurum and we added a clear with flex to try to avoid those pesky rock chips these wheels are famous for. PASM. No sport Chrono! I was adamant about no support Chrono. Just not my style.
Minimal modifications include Cobb stage 1 software, APR track exhaust and a weighted Raceseng shift knob. The stock knob was light as a feather. I'm never a huge fan of aftermarket shift knobs but I think this one fits the bill. Here's some Pics of Deter and his much much older brother Gavin my M3/4/5.
Glad to see a forum that is actually active!

Awesome 👍 the best part of Aurum is the dirtier and more brake dust you get on them the cooler they look they don't really show dirt they just get darker lol

Car looks great with Aurum, and I bet with the mods is a fun ride! I too am partial to Graphite blue.

Red Birds Fan too. Last I checked five games back. Mlb is a long season. Didn’t mean to retract from your gorgeous car, just couldn’t help my self commenting on the Redbirds as they were brought up. Who’s know, I might bring my cayman s Guards red to Busch! I contemplated naming her RedBird too. Lol. I’ve come up with another name though.
