They don’t display that info on the big screens any more. They now show the time taken for a car to move on to the next stage of production (TAK time?).

Good point about waiting for 30 mins after switching everything off. However in the end I didn’t disconnect the battery at all. I went on the the nut on the positive side, same as you and for the earth went onto one of the bolts on the bracket at the bottom that secures the battery down. I...

Thanks, I hadn’t seen that. Definitely my car. Looks much better in his studio than it does in my garage! He has done a fantastic job, I am very pleased with the result.

I used 8mm and the one with the traffic lights on the connector so you get a quick visual of the battery condition. Turns out the tracker also gives the battery voltage. Not sure 6mm would fit on the +ve stud I used.

There are a lot of Green ones at Hethel ready to go.

That’s an interesting point. I plugged my iPhone in to the socket under the gear lever when I picked it up and CarPlay fired straight up. I did pair the phone for Bluetooth too. Wireless CarPlay now works ok. But I think I read somewhere that the USB under the gear lever only delivers power...

Mine was ready well over a week ago. I held it back a week for PPF to be installed. It arrived at Hethel the same time as Donskibeats. I don’t think they make and release them in batches. They certainly paint each cars panels as one set for an individual car as I saw them going around the...

Every day it looks different. It’s been a long time since I took these at Hethel which I think was the first time anyone had seen the colours on a planform. Magma is a complex colour.

You were probably not driving 200 mile on mostly unlit / poorly lit roads when you picked it up though.

One thing I noticed on my drive home from the factory in the dark, there is a “bright“ green light on one of the buttons in the overhead console. I found it distracting in the dark and by pushing it turns off the green light. Turns out this is the control for automatically turning on and off...

Then inside. Wireless Apple CarPlay all works ok but threaded a USB cable through the tiny gap in the mat so I can power the phone. Had to be a Magma red lead of course.

Tinker time. CTEK fly lead fitted. While it looks like there should be plenty of room to run the cable through the boot seal with the boot closed, I am using an old trick I used to do with my Aston. If you throw the boot latch with your finger (or a screwdriver if you wish) the car thinks the...

Snowed and then shiny again.

Best to speak direct to Scott I think. I am very pleased with the finish and what they did. Very professionally applied, can’t really see the edges. To date the factory has handed over just over 40 cars and only a few have had PPF so it’s early days for this. There was a post on Facebook by...

In the main it sits on the car flush to the edge but doesn’t wrap around. The panels are cut such that they run right up to the edge, if you look really hard you can see them but almost invisible. I think the templates are produced by XPel themselves and the local installers would all use the...

If you are interested talk to Scott Walker. He coordinates it and a local to them xpel installer does the work. I spoke to a number of local to me firms and the prices were broadly similar, but it was more convenient to have it all done before pick up. I have full front, sills and rear arches...

And tucked away waiting to be cleaned.

Some outside.
