M6 GC ZCP in Sakhir

Neil McRae · 10-24-2013, 04:49 AM

Lovely... saw this yesterday whilst my car was paint shielded:

Neil McRae · 10-24-2013, 04:50 AM

the concave on the rear wheels is really cool on the ZCP wheels, Really wish they had them in black and I'd have had them on the M5.

RichardP · 10-24-2013, 07:32 AM

That'll be mine!

It's the only Competition Package Sakhir Orange RHD M6 GC in existence.

Neil McRae · 10-24-2013, 09:09 AM

ah cool Richard, My M5 which is in the background above (white) was being done as they delivered your car. Stunning car - congrats. Paintshield guys are superb.

Gorgeous pictures. Love the new M6GC

Neil McRae · 10-24-2013, 11:49 AM

funny how small the car world is

RichardP · 10-24-2013, 11:53 AM

Indeed, Ann said that there was an M5 in yesterday, how much did you have done?

Samurai of 2day · 10-24-2013, 11:59 AM

Can someone give me some insight as to what the paint shielding process is and what it does to protect the car...?

I am still highly upset because when I took my bike out for a spin last Sunday, I returned to find my car with what looks like circular scratch that is fairly deep and since I can't headbutt the perp, I need to shell out cash to keep my car as close to showroom condition as I can. At least it was up til now.

Disclaimer: Although I enjoyed learning some new effective headbutting techniques while training with some JKD enthusiasts for the past month, it is probably not a good idea to go headbutting someone just because them or their child may have rested a bicycle against the rear door of someone else's car.

Sorry for the rant... I wish I could have been present for when this scratch occured, and now i finally got this off my chest as I have not mentioned this to anyone else as of yet.

RichardP · 10-24-2013, 12:08 PM

It's basically a clear wrap. Have a look at the PaintShield web site http://www.paintshield.co.uk/

GOLFFRR · 10-24-2013, 12:30 PM

looks great!

Nice. Thanks for the info. I will look into this and see if I can find a reputable shop in the NYC area that can do this for me.

No more thread jacking from me, OP. You mentioned the protection, so I went fishing.

You guys have some amazing machines. Enjoy in good health

I think stealth on the m 5 forum uses a guy in Miami, not close but road trip to Miami from NYC. sounds great to me

Neil McRae · 10-24-2013, 02:07 PM

I'll send you a link to a wider shot of your car, didn't want to post it with the number plate.

As they have not done an M6 GC before and it's getting a full wrap, it's there for a whole week.

Thanks! Actually the plate is getting changed, the documents came through literally an hour after the car was registered!

I don't have many pictures of my car yet, partly because I restrained myself and only drove from the garage back to my house to avoid any chips, it had done all of 14 miles when it went in the trailer to PaintShield.

Neil McRae · 10-24-2013, 05:42 PM

I had the same thing happen, phoned dvla they said 2 weeks sir, I told the dealer to reg it with any old plate. day before collection, retention certificate turns up. just sent them off to get it sorted out. right pain in the arse with insurance etc.

Do you have Right Hand Drive cars there? There are several Left Hand Drive cars, but only one RHD as of the build at the end of today.

There are currently 8 other RHD Sakhir Orange cars

2 Press Cars in the UK both with Ceramic brakes but not Competition Pack
1 in Australia, regular brakes, no Competition Pack
3 in South Africa, one with Ceramic brakes, neither with Competition Pack.
2 in Hong Kong, regular brakes, no Competition Pack

RichardP · 10-30-2013, 03:37 AM

No worries, we're in the minority! Only 297 RHD M6 Gran Coupes have been made so far, only 82 for the UK/Ireland.
