How rare/desirable are the "no options" CSL ?

I probably could have, but could not be arsed removing the wrap, painting the front end etc. So just done the deal with my mate.

I have sold everything from that car and its now standard, so just need to shift the car.

The air con is essential down under given the summers we have had the last 10 years with many days over 36 deg Celcius.

Hopefully the summer we have this year, when we get the ashes back, continues this trend (I own a business that sells cold drinks)

As long as you have good windscreen wipers for this country your ok.

When do you drive in Malaga, I thought you were from Madrid?

I guess the other question - how much weight does aircon and the no-cost options (typically added) put onto the car?

I'm considering a CSL for a pure track car, wondered if it made much difference. Some aircon systems are well heavy, some just a small percentage of a cars overall weight.

My CSL with me, a 3rd tank of fuel was 1505kg. IIRC, no options

Im 17st so work that out, im pisssed right now so conversions will be comical

To be honest if you are asking the question you will not notice the difference, buy one with A/C, you will like it better, if the weather ever picks up.

heh yes a 15 minute "comfort break" would probably offset the aircon ;-)

or a diet of salad for 6 months.

I'm loving this thread....... you get like - 3 options.

1. Stereo
2. A/C
3. Xenon headlights

It must have been a real headache for the first CSL owners which options to pick.

and if you complain at the 3 - you'll go crazy from looking at 7 series option list.

4. Rear PDC

Technically there were more (albeit minor options) - Grad tint windscreen, Floor overmats, Speed limiter removal, etc.
