NRG x Lambo Report post Posted May 27, 2015 so after enjoying the r8 spyder for about 7-8 months, i decided to pull the trigger on a 2012 mp4-12c yesterday. there's still a LITTLE part of me that is uneasy about how well (or lack there of) these cars hold value. that being said, the 12c seems to have sort of slowed down (specially the coupe) at about $160-170k. and there's no denying it's a LOT OF CAR FOR THE MONEY. i think the car looks amazing, and it's a complete BLAST to drive. this car was LOADED. even newport mclaren was surprised at how much 'stuff' was on this car. carbon everywhere! carbon turning veins, carbon mirror, carbon front splitter, carbon rear diffuser, carbon engine covers, carbon engine bay panel covers, carbon seat backs, carbon interior, carbon steering wheel, carbon door sill, carbon fender well! also the carbon ceramic brakes! there ARE some quirks. i can't stand how crappy their media/IRIS system is. i live in LA and the car can't hold ANY radio reception. but apparently this IS a known mclaren problem. already ordered a set of new wheels for the car, and hoping maybe we can do a little aero upgrades here and there... anyways, here she is...

sprite Report post Posted May 27, 2015 You will love the car. You can easily sell your OEM wheels for $5k+ if you're not keeping them as they are the most attractive OEM wheels. Love the blue calipers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the blue calipers. i was actually thinking of swapping them out for a new set of wheels and just leaving them in storage. but maybe i should sell them if they fetch that much. wow. also thinking of repainting calipers to verde.

VCR Report post Posted May 27, 2015 Looks great, congrats! Blue calipers are not that common which, to me, is a good thing. I would leave them as they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabspeed_Motorsport Report post Posted May 27, 2015 They look so good in black. The owner here just got a volcano yellow spider, what a car!!! Let alone the price point.. just phenomenal. Now, just let me make you a good deal on an exhaust to really spruce it up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
