Merry Christmas McLAREN Fans

I still have a few months till I expect delivery. This will have to do until then.

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas.

nice, do you have a 1/32 slot track to play with that on or is it just a model?

Love the color choice falb! Did you go with any carbon options? What wheels did you chose as well?

I am digging this setup!

I have a track, Carrera, and may run the car on it but really just want it to look at on the shelf. Just watched Senna and it is a very well done and an emotional portrait of Ayrton.

My spec is similar to the one above and PP7. Black and orange with a few bits of carbon to keep things interesting.

McLAREN orange
Stealth pack
Superlight wheels, black
Carbon
-brakes w/ orange calipers
-engine covers
-mirrors
-interior
Alcantera with orange stitching
MSO space fabric seat inserts on no-powered seats

The only thing I may wish I had done was the carbon rear diffuser. It is a huge piece of carbon and arguably a good value, relatively speaking, but I assumed that it would get abused and suffer cosmetically.

What would you like to see and where would it go?

Here are several racing videos. They are long and likely boring to anyone else but me but thats why I post them, so I can watch them over and over and over again trying to get faster.

i think by not going with it is a smart choice. it's not a very noticeable piece at all. i regret it but the spec is locked. did u go with the matching front splitter? i went carbon simply because i thought front & rear better match. however, i should've just leave it in grey because they look pretty good in standard finish. carbon decoration cost too much $$$.

I wish that was my car, no painted spoilers for me. The car seems lower and more sporty without it IMO. I agree the carbon bits cause the price to skyrocket, but I did opt for the carbon brakes which may or may not be worth it....I just want them and like the lack of maintenance in normal use.
