A couple of tiny chips on the bonnet, but you’d live with the car before you even noticed them. Lexus dealer was just a straight take the car off my hands deal - no part x.

Will do. I’m not in a rush to sell. Not even had chance to try a C63 yet and with it being school holidays I doubt I’ll get near a Mercedes garage for a few weeks yet. I spoke to a Lexus dealer the other day and I was pleasantly surprised how much they would pay to take the car off my hands 👍

😂 It’s a constant job. The other day, I noticed dust on the tyres from the garage floor. Had to send the F away to be cleaned. Whilst the F was on holiday I resurfaced the garage floor to eliminate as much dust risk as possible. She’s back now however

Ummm - is that question for me? My car is just touching 9,000 miles

Yes - congratulations @Nikki!

One thing that does concern me about AMGs is theft 😢 Really don’t want scum breaking into my house to steal a car!!

All makes complete sense 👍 My garage is currently having a makeover, so my F is on short term holiday in another garage. I’m sure when I get it back, I will look at it and be wowed by its’ looks. As you say, the RCF has more presence than the C63 Coupe. I also agree on the interior of the F being a nice place to be. The Merc does look a little plastic. As for the LC500, I’ve driven two (and also the hybrid). The only negative I have is that it’s arguably too similar to the RCF. Yes, Lexus have addressed many issues, but is an LC500 really worth double the price an RCF? I personally don’t think it is. Ah well, with it being school holidays, I’m probably not going to get chance to sample a C63 for a good few weeks. Having said that, with the facelift C63 just round the corner, there are some good deals to be had!

Didn’t the grey one have stellar mileage?

Special pass granted - but keep it under 300 words 😀

I was asking the opinion of F drivers - not 320d drivers!!!! 😜

I’ve discussed my possible ‘jumping of ship’ with some F buddies today. The main consensus was ‘do not buy a C63’. So, would any of you F drivers be tempted by a switch to a Mercedes C63 (4.0). Love to heat your thoughts 👍

15,000 miles. Here’s one on Autotrader. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201806287917142

The other advantage of NGenco is that it does a pretty good job of filling existing chips and can be colour coded. Important for those cars with a vanilla bonnet. Chances of finding an RCF with no chips will get less and less. What’s the average RCF mileage these days - 20.000?

With the NGenco guarantee - no brainier. Being endorsed by my Lexus dealer is the icing on the cake. Two issues with stick on ppf. Firstly picking the right product and secondly finding somebody to do a good job. You can tie yourself in knots. Finally, I found PPF to be on par price wise with NGenco (which is a vastly superior product). Anyway, running an RCF ‘bare back’ is not something I’d consider. I’ve seen several RCFs with peppered bonnets. Each to their own. .

Pretty sure that the NGenco website lists accredited garages.

Yes - caugh our in a shower. I seem to recall being the only one out of EIGHT F drivers who refused to take my P&J out in the monsoon conditions. 😀

Lol!! 👍 It doesn’t like the wet -

Did Dave ( @Warrington guy) break down?

F world is tiny mate 👍 Cant wait to hear it! I was dealing on the very exhaust earlier i the year in behalf of Ratty.

It's this one - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-RCF-Meisterschaft-Exhaust-Used/173431795590?hash=item2861572f86:g:72QAAOSwpdBbPM1U

Lexus Cheltenham recommended one guy, but the cost was crazy. I went with Bayliss Accident Repairs. The exercise was mainly to protect the carbon bits - after all the carbon bashing that has taken place on this very forum 😀. My car is a garage queen covering minimum mileage so I didn't bother with the whole of the car.

I spoke to Ratty about this. He told me that getting your tyre pressures right is more important. Yikes - five to nine - time for a cup of tea!

Silver is very nice 😅
