1 – Exhaust, the car I hired had the Stage 1 exhaust & filter, it didn’t look much different to standard pipes but from what I’ve read the diameter is approx 88mm compared to the 75mm standard. Is it possible to achieve similar pops & bangs from modifying the standard system (IE remove baffle or similar)? I understand Garge56 do a similar priced stage 1 system as well.
2 – Bright Pack, love the classic look of the polished roll hoops & cowl but not to fussed on the engine & headlamps. At £2795.00 it’s obviously a very expensive option, has anyone had their standard black hoops or cowl chromed? If so, what were approximate costs?
3 - Tyres, car I had was running the Blockley tyres, looked great and I understand they perform slightly better than the standard Avons. On the options list it says “Blockley square cut wheels & tyres £474.00”, what does this mean..”square cut wheels” as it’s just the tyres I’m after?
4 - Seats, there is an option of "Centre split leather seats - £300.00", silly question now, but what exactly are these?
1) I have the MMC stage 1 and the engine runs much smoother, and should be a cheaper option than the G56. The same effect can be had by removing the baffles discussed on many threads in this forum.
2) I was keen to have the polished cowl but was not prepared to pay for the polished option, on some cars with this option the engines are now starting to look corroded. The cowl is actually painted stainless so you could get it polished.
3) Depends how you are going to drive it the only option when I bought mine was the Avons but having done 10,000 miles have just switched to Blockleys, £270 fitted with new tubes at MWS.
4) Split seat haven't seen one, whats the advantage?
