3.0 Spider

Well took delivery of the Spider today, out for a shakedown, not too bad. Couple of niggles, gap between drivers window and hood at rear, and indicators not self cancelling. Bonnet release a bit suspect, but on the whole quite good

Get that bonnet release sorted, my gtv had nasty dents in the pillars due to release failure, oh and the roof!

Glad to hear it, hope you had the roof down!

Alan, my glass is the same but that's one of the smaller worries at the mo.

Some pics, not the best weather for a Spider!

Nice Spider

Are they wobbly, just want to prepare myself for when I drive it.

If toy are referring to scuttle shake, yep you will experiance a little of that. They handle so very well though. I never stop smiling when driving my 916. Lots of fun and they turn heads.

Ha! Suspect bonnet release meant hard to get in, not flying open! Phew. Handles well, bit of shake and a few more rattles and squeeks than the GTV. Good for a nose heavy FWD car though.

Mines the same Alan, you need 2 people to open the bonnet, one to pull back the release and hold it, then other to slide their fingers in the gap and lift the bl00dy thing.

Its called "character" apparently???

Haha! You got to love 'em. Bonnet release ok on the GTV so may just require tweaking.
