That Nardo test car cannot be the £72k carbon version - it has silver radiator and window frames? As discussed elsewhere, the early dealer cars seem to be random spec

It’s is a CE, that bit is correct. The Carbon edition comes with the “Carbon Matt aluminium pack” as standard. That pack consists of Carbon front splitter/spoiler and Matt aluminium grill surround and trim all round.

Brooner is sacked off!!

Ps it says drum brakes....!?!?
I noted that so I began my post "thanks for the review" and I think I have got him back onside now. :bigblink:

Your right about the spec sheet, car definitely has disc brakes so why believe the rest of it.

Re the OP, nardo and silver has always looked nasty. Nardo and black pack quite the opposite imho.
