Its a GTS MC Shift.
But has the MC Sportline Pack - which I think really sets it off.
Is there a separate MC Sportline which is a different car?

It was from Approved used. I have been looking for 7 months at every GTS from 40-55k. I really wanted something to make it stand out a bit - especially in the interior.
Really loved the MC Carbon Sportline Pack, and it was only one of 2 I could find with it all on. The Pre Facelift Wheel was the only part of the interior I didn't like - and when they accepted my request to put the Facelift Wheel on it - it was too good to say no.
I am going to get some photos done asap, would appreciate your opinions.
I think its such a great all round car with some really special bits.

the only things I want to do are get the head rests contrast stitched and get Stuart's x pipe put on.
Am toying with the vented bonnet. What do you think?

It sounds like your patience paid off & you got a great spec.
I do like the vented bonnet but the problem is, if I had that I would then want to Strad wings and rear diffuser too - for me, it would be a slippery slope!
Looking forward to the pictures buddy

I am not sure Badass suits my professional persona...but it kinda is a bit drug dealer :/
The X pipe and Trofeo Bonnet will calm the waters

Lovely looking car. I like the carbon a lot. Well worth the wait.

My thunking is, if you want a car that looks like a Strad then buy a Strad. If you want a car that sounds better than a Strad, then a GTS with an x-pipe will do you just fine. Add 200 cell sports cats and it gets really bloody fantastic (right, Stuart..?). Which is my next activity, hopefully round about the same time as getting the valves working again.

By the way, Iain - some spacers would be a very good thing. 18mm rear and 15mm fronts. In my opinion. :smile:

Agree totally. Would look lovely lowered.. problem is .. I am struggling to get it down my drive as it is.. takes me 5 mins to drive down in (its not THAT long) - the front carbon scrapes on the floor no mater how slow i go... really goes through me..

whats the best price you could get sports cats for? i love the noise - but could never be too loud.

Agree re having them any lower. I was all for it but they're already long and low. The spacers halpe full the gaps in the wheel arch and give them impression of around a 1" drop.

I'm getting a quote on custom sports cats and when i have something will check with Benny, the Forum's resident exhaust hooligan, to see if he proposes an alternative. Otherwise I'll check and see if anyone else on here is up for a group buy.

Brilliant- thanks mate. Definitely keep me in the loop. Would love a group buy. Would also like to hear Stuart's.

So do the spacers just give it the appearance of being lower without actually physically lowering it?

Still looking for experts to change the head unit for a nice double din unit- and a trimmer for comtrast headrests and steering wheel

Who's quoting on the cats, Adam? Could they do straight through back boxes?

Great looking car. Crying out for a nice set of black Stradale wheels that are wider than standard GTS wheels, so negate the need for spacers!

I wonder where you could get a set from....??!!

agree - I like them - but the black neptunes are pretty stunning.. and the 3k for the wheels could go on x pipe, retrimming, contrasts head rests, trofeo bonnet, sports cats....
