Stradale coming tomorrow!!!

[Strad]

Sounds good to me, there’s a greasy spoon at north Weald airfield or any other suggestions.

I’m in the northern part of the county so would join a Stradale meet!

 

[Strad]

Looks lovely.

Why do some Stradales have a bonnet scoop and some don’t?

4 seaters have the scoop (from 2013)

The two seat version has the two nostrils, the four seat has the large central scoop and bigger air outlets in place of the nostrils.

 

[Contigo]

Plates need to come off. The front one at least!

 

[Contigo]

Looks far meaner with the front scoop imo.

 

[Felonious Crud]

That really is lovely. Well done, Oliver!

On the subject of North Weald, I'm planning to sign up for a day of driver tuition there to finish off my PZeros and try to improve my driving, probably around spring.

Cheers. Didn’t know they did driver tuition there.
Keep me posted if you book something or if these cars don’t fail noise tests on track days then book a track day and I’ll jump in to give you some free tuition if you like. I’m not too seasoned on tin tops but think I may be able to assist (obviously depends on your starting point)

I have a small plate stuck directly on the bumper, covers the holes for the bracket and looks much neater to my eye. Had it on my GS and now the Strad and never had any trouble with the fuzz.

That does look much neater - semi legal I guess but much safer than no plate, and covers the 2 holes on the bumper. I suppose you have left the 2 holes on the bottom splitter as they are or have you filled them up?

The 2 seaters don’t have the centre scoop and the 4 seaters do - which is made of carbon fibre to save weights apparently because of the 2 extra rear seats.

 

[Ewan]

I’ve gone with a smaller plate, but still on the bracket. But I have say, Zeps’ solution also looks good.

 

[Ewan]

And at rear, again it’s smaller than UK standard, but a bit larger than the front one (so as not to look too small on the rear panel).

 

[Ewan]

Oh...forgot to say, well done on the new toy. May it provide you with many smiles, especially in race mode.

Ha, we all know that is a given. Have not come across any Strad owner who is not hooked on the Race button

Also, I am up to meet up at North Weald airfield, just need a day with dry and decent weather.

There aren’t any holes in the splitter on mine, the bracket just rested on it on two rubber grommets.

The 2 seaters don’t have the centre scoop and the 4 seaters do - which is made of carbon fibre to save weights apparently because of the 2 extra rear seats.

Don’t forget the lighter carbon front seats. Which I imagine make three parts of sod all difference!

Hi Ewan, very very nice ! It is a 4 seat gran cab stradale right? Why doesn’t your bonnet have a centre scoop?

Exactly, the carbon fibre seats from the Enzo Ferrari! Euro spare actually have these - not as expensive as I thought as well - around £1500 I think

They have a pair of used ones for £3750. New might be a smig more!

Mine is called a GranCabrio-MC, which came out alongside the earlier (2 seat) MC-Strad coupes. So it has the same bonnet as the 2 seat Strad, even though it has 4 seats.

Very nice. Works well with less letters
