No, nice car. I'd ask about the interior door casings. They don't seem to have the carbon trim finishers. Maybe it's a mis-build. Carbon trim is a cost option so I'd want that corrected, would look better if the doors matched the carbon trim in the IP/Console.

Interesting, I wasn’t a fan of loads of carbon so opted for the extended leather trim when I ordered. Wasn’t aware you could mix and match. This is what mine looked like:

It doesn’t have extended leather so the carbon won’t extend to doors . Nice spec other than the lack of leather / race tex .

You are right. I never knew that. I'd leave it. Shame they've speced in some really good stuff and then tried to save money which ends up in a mismatch. I'd have to change the door trim with my ocd.

Good spot, I hadn’t even noticed that!

So was sent a video of the car in question today and as an approved used Porsche , whatever that’s supposed to mean!? I am led to believe that gravel rash to most panels and the windscreen on a GT4 is acceptable. Correct me if I’m wrong but what used to happen in the old days was a dealer bought a car and then prepared it for retail, now it seems they just want to pay bottom dollar for the car , stick on a 15/20 k margin and send it….seems a bit wrong to me.

They tell you the normal £10k spread is to cover the cost of prep and service and the 2yr used warranty. The prep to me includes sorting stone chips etc. but it would appear not especially the side sills that can get overlooked by a customer.

I’ve noticed now on the Boxster/Cayman that the plastic side panels get hammered with gravel rash especially under the air intakes.
