ATL_ Report post Posted October 19, 2017 The rimless rear view mirrors look nice but from what I was told they're not auto dimming which sucks. Were the G auto dimming mirrors that bad? They auto dim. Same mirror as on the US spec 2018 RS3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl55 Report post Posted October 19, 2017 The auto dimming mirrors on the early Gallardos had quality issues. They leaked and the fluids inside were highly corrosive so not only did the cars had non-functioning dimming mirrors but the centre dashes were all damaged resulting from the corrosive fluids. That must had costed Lambo $$$ on warranty claims as subsequent Gallardos had manual dimming rear view mirrors. Oh wow, I recall another manufacture having the same issues with leaking auto dimming mirrors back in the days. Probably a supplier issue.

sl55 Report post Posted October 19, 2017 Yes, it's auto-dimming, I just checked the manual, which refers to it as anti-dazzle. As for efficacy, I'd have to actually evaluate it, but I've driven the car at night quite a bit and didn't notice it being noticeably worse than other systems. I'm predisposed to hate auto-dimming because they generally don't turn dark fast enough / dark enough for me, I'd rather just flip the lever. Awesome, thanks for checking!

sl55 Report post Posted October 19, 2017 So here's the ad personam options I'm looking to get depending on prices: -red seat belts -painted tricolor/performante logo -red piping on the sport seats (similar to what doctam3 has in his H spyder) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted October 19, 2017 Time for a double glass garage I think! Actually the glass garage is in my old house, in the new one there is no glass around the car itself, they pretty much live in the house Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortis Report post Posted October 19, 2017 Install an elevator with a turn table under the tree in your house! Your roof is already setup to have your tree stick out the top! Now that’s an idea, I think it would be easier just to build a new house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmtn Report post Posted October 19, 2017 What section are you suggesting that for ? I think the forged carbon looks very good on this car on the parts it is applied, but if the whole exterior did have unpainted carbon ala Pagani, then this would look seriously mad.

LOL, I would be pissed. Plus it's easier to Xpel the entire door if the stripe/logo is painted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPOZ Report post Posted October 19, 2017 That’s a great color, when will his car arrive? Finishes being built on the 20th of Oct. ( today ) then flown into Sydney. Hopefully before November! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctaM3 Report post Posted October 23, 2017 Fortis, you nailed it. I love my V12 and there is just something magical about that NA engine, but holy cow is the Performante dialed in. I dare say it is a much better car than the Anniversario, the S and the SV. Still can't believe those words are coming out of my mouth but its true.

Not forged? It would look very good in exposed carbon, somone should do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it's easier to Xpel the entire door if the stripe/logo is painted. but you could never take it off if you decide you don't want it anymore, I guess you could wrap over it, I am still thinking whether I will have it on or off, kind of kills the sinister look I am going for.

Fortis Report post Posted October 29, 2017 Beautiful classic combo. Congrats. Personally I think the upgraded stereo system is a waste of money, it didn’t sound much better than the standard one , can you guys get Apple CarPlay?

DoctaM3 Report post Posted October 29, 2017 My car was spec with Telemetry package & I guess in June we heard they deleted them all--some rumors about why but nothing ever confirmed. I asked again...still not available and no timetable. I am hearing, harness etc is in place and will be a dealer installed option so we shall see. In Corsa, lots of elements are already there including output from G-meter, Vmax etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
