IMHO, yes, but there's a saving grace in that the 'letters' are at least facing the right way round!

Actually Martin, until recently I would have agreed that yours was tops (followed my mine - V60 GTO, hah!) but, now that GTO 3R is in play I think your crown has been taken!!!

V60 was parked outside my house on Tuesday on the Noble transporter!

How have you found the lack of wing ?

I prefer to wing off look Stuh, but plan to try it on/off for track days to see the dynamic difference. For the holes I've sourced some coach bolts, rubber washers (to protect the paint), wing nuts and crimp washers which, will be painted in the body colour, and are designed to be quick-release.

What was the transporter doing ast your house - delivery or collection and did you provide the driver with a cuppa before his journey home?!

I meant to ask you... are you keeping JOU5T for your Marcos as you had the GTO plate on your Noble at Brunters...

Yep - JOU5T will go on the Marcos.

I got bolt-hole covers from Mole Valley. Just ask them and they'll provide some rubber bungs that fit perfectly.

amg merc - my car was being colleted having fallen ill again Dave was the very kind driver who collected it having done a round trip via The M40, Mole Valley and then back to me in Bucks! He was understandably keen to get moving once my car was on the transporter.

I think the car looks good without the wing. I'm quite intrigued by the GTC design, as the original concept didn't have one. Will Noble have modified the aerodynamics to counter this or are they expecting all us GTC drivers to be boulevard cruisers and never going above 50mph?

Fingers crossed car with be ready for Donnington on the 4th!

Yeh, but aren't these plastic and need siliconing in each time?

...mine too but it will be a close thing and, as such, I don't want to make a booking (yet)!

If they are "bungs" (a grommit that's filled in one side) then nope - they'll hold themselves in by expansion of the rubber (you compress it to get it in).

Well these are rare mate - I can't find such a thing anywhere?!

Some might say they expect you to leave them parked outside the salon but I'm not one of them

Says the owner of a turquoise Noble

So is it going to be a turquoise M400 ?!

I'm hoping that the GTC will be available with the M400 power plant but nothing definite from factory as yet.............

Justin - SO do you have the Marcos beauty now ?
