Dynamic retrofit

Craig - it's not cheap and it's a decision of the heart.

The reason one or two of us have done it (or are doing it) is because we prefer the Prestige interior. Otherwise I would have bought a Dynamic, of course, as you point out.

If you think that's mad then you're no doubt a sane man! However, I've done it and I LOVE my car. A few others are planning on it when cars arrive, etc.

Sorry, I'm not having a go....i think what you did was amazing. Only thinking of it from my point of view. totally understand from a prestige point of view as it has a completely differnet interior. i was thinking from a Pure point of view, as dash etc are the same, and leather not that different(unless you really want the espresso) but wnen you look at the numbers, if it's £1500 for rear, must be similar from front, then you're getting up into dynamic trim costs anyway (ie just get the dynamic rahter than pure)

Yes - from a Pure perspective I think you're probably right.

I didn't mean for my post to imply that I was offended in any way by yours. I think it's my succinct writing style that perhaps makes me sound permanently irritated...!

Having trouble visualising this.

As my car is a black coupe and has 20" style 6's, apart from a grill colour change, badge colour, spolier lip, exhaust shields, what else externally would look different.

I would like to go down that route, but don't see too much difference, guess I'm missing something.

The exhaust system is different, the bumpers and sills are colour-coded (to a greater extent than the Pure or Prestige models) and the front bull bar is different. It isn't so pronounced on a black car because the colour-coding makes less of a difference. On lighter colours the changes are more visually apparent.

I actually 'unvoted' myself from the polls, cos instead of getting a Prestige and turning it to a Presnamic, I went and ordered a Dynamic and gone the whole nine yards for the Dynamic Plus! My concerns were that the local bodyshop doing the work here might fumble in retrofitting all those sensors/cameras into the new piece of kit! Really didn't want to risk it. The Dynamic Plus rationale was so that I could still get the leather-topped dash and interior bits (and that cool race seats).
I do however intend to change the bonnet to match the coupe...at least they can't really fumble that one.

But I do have to salute SW6RR for being the pioneer in the Presnamic front, it creates the awareness to other forum members having the Pure/Prestige that IT CAN BE DONE and IT STILL LOOKS GOOD!! (Point to note: SW6RR i noticed you didnt get the trailing wing bit for the spoiler, was that intentional?)

Ezandania - yes, intentional - unfortunately the black piece cannot be separated from the main spoiler and so if you want it you have to buy an entirely new spoiler (£500-600 IIRC).

I'm not sure whether I'm too fussed about that particular piece, but each to their own!

I'd love to remove the side sills from the Prestige and just have body colour as with Dynamic (and also remove the plastic round the wheel arches). But I guess I would end up with neither a Prestige or Dynamic.
