Bye bye CSL. Hello GT3

[terryb]

A sad but happy day.

I waved goodbye to the CSL yesterday, but received a Mathey Racing converted Mk1 996 GT3 as part of the deal.

I have really loved my CSL and think that any petrolhead should own one at some point in their lives, but I have always wanted a GT3 and this particular one is one of the very best available - it will see off 997 GT3 RS's on the track - words from Mike Wilds after he drove it at Oulton Park recently - so I can't wait to find that out for myself





I'll still be keeping active on the forum though as there is a good bunch on here

Have a great Easter Weekend folks

You're absolutely right about that... I'm sure in the GT3 you'll have a wonderful time, but you'll still have a special place in your heart for the CSL. For me it just tickles all the senses, they even smell unique (I'm seeking counselling!)

GT3 looks very menacing btw, enjoy!

It is a Matt Black vinyl wrap done by a company called Raccoon - http://www.raccoon.co.uk/homepage.php

Reverend - I agree with you and can see me owning another CSL in the future when I can afford 2 fun cars

Looks stunning mate. I remember seeing a matt black GT3 in flesh at a PH run last year and can say it looked and sounded mental. Maybe the same one. Enjoy!

I got a quote with raccoon for wrapping the CSL. Can you vouch for the quality of the wrap?

It is a very good quality mate. The vinyl is very thin but strong, so won't spoil the paint underneath when removed (hopefully), but then they guarantee their work apparently if they remove it and will make good any problems.

Compared to the vinyl graphics I had on my Scooby, it is much thinner - can only be a good thing in my eyes

Karbonkid what sort of price did you get for a full wrap?

[terryb]

I didn't get this wrap done, the last owner did but I have the receipt from late 2007 and it was about £1600 inc VAT
