RE: Dynamic retrofit - SW6RR - 21-11-2011 06:00pm
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)
RE: Dynamic retrofit - SW6RR - 21-11-2011 07:04pm
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.
RE: Dynamic retrofit - SW6RR - 21-11-2011 07:55pm
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?)
RE: Dynamic retrofit - SW6RR - 21-11-2011 08:18pm
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!
RE: Dynamic retrofit - IKM - 21-11-2011 08:24pm
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.
