Saw these today

Hi, I've been recently looking into getting a McLaren 570S Spyder but I have heard they have some factory QC issues, do these still exist or have they been fixed recently? How hard would it be to get them fixed?

McLaren and QC issues

As title - would really like some honest feedback from owners who have owned and used both. I have owned a 720 and driven a 600LT - but the short test drive only paints some of the picture.

Thinking of moving into a 600LT having sold my 720 a while ago. 

Thank you

Hi everyone , currently busy with a 765LT registery in my country and was wondering , is it possible to remove a novitet roof scoop? Does a novitec roof scoop work or is it for show


Edit: Thank you to everyone who replied and helped🙏🏻

Novitec roof scoop

Not my best shots, but couldn't help myself sharing this wild Pacific Colour Stream 765lt I saw in Sydney the other week.

Four Senna's all lined up

Front is like a 720s but the back is a 765lt. The badge says 975lt. What the heck!
My suspicion is that it really is a 765lt but they put a 720s front bumper and wheels for some reason. The entire rear decklet and the wing and quad exhaust cannot be faked as well as the front fender louvres.

What’s going on with this? What model is it really?

Unfortunately, I encountered the infamous floppy sun visor on the driver side of my 570s Spyder.

This is a common issue when a spring loaded plastic hinge under the upper center dome light breaks.

It's not that hard to fix this, but since no one talked about this on McLaren Life in detail, I thought I would post pictures of my DIY on my 570s Spyder.

Dealerships will tell you the official way is you need to remove the headliner to replace the spring hinge, which is not trivial for the 570s coupe, because the headliner goes all the way to the back. It's probably way easier for the 570s Spyder, which is just the front windshield trim.

But I didn't need to remove it too on my 570 Spyder. I just removed the overhead center dome light.

The center dome light is held in place by 4 spring loaded tabs. To remove, I slipped a plastic trim panel on the left side and just pulled down until it moved about 1/4" and then I used a smaller trim tool to press against each of the 2 spring clips on the left side. Repeat on the right side. (See attached pixtures)...

According to McLarenLife, DO NOT REMOVE any of the connectors to the overhead light console, or it will set of an SRS airbag warning light that you will need a scan tool to clear.

Removing of the sun visor is easy. In the middle of the sun visor is a cover that you can remove by sticking a strong piece of duct tape and pull (passenger side shown. I removed the driver side)

Inside the cover there is a Allen/hex bolt. Unbolt it,  and the sunvisor just slips out.

The sunvisor spring latch is inside the center dome light console and held by a hex bolt. There's not enough clearance to get a ratchet in there. I just used a cheap L-shaped Allen key and took a long time to turn. If you can cut down the height of the L-wrench so it is only 1/2 cm, that might it easier for you.

The spring latch is made of flimsy plastic, I plan on getting a replacement pair from the dealer this week, but I also plastic welded the broken one together. I'm going to try to reinforce it with a thicker wall with epoxy to see if I can make it stronger than the original factory part, because the way it's designed, the plastic wall is so thin, the new one will break again after some use.

Can someone tell me about these two cars? 

Moved up from a Porsche C4 GTS to this, and so glad that I did.

The 570s handles completely different, in no small part to the reduced weight and carbon tub. The car feels fast and exciting even when driven in low speeds, making every drive feel special and momentous.

I polled this forum recently and the recommendations were even between Ventura Orange and Curacao blue. This colour does not fly under the radar and is a huge attention getter
The spider is indeed three cars in one- three modes depending on the mood one is in - roof on, rear glass down, and top down.

The V8 makes a glorious racket, and especially sonorous at 4K RPM upwards.

Mclaren Senna 1/1 spec painted in a colour called sighn purple💜

The McLaren M6 GT is an iconic car from the late 1960s, marking McLaren's first serious attempt into road car production. It was based on the successful McLaren M6 Can-Am race car, designed by Bruce McLaren himself. The M6 GT was intended to serve as a homologation special for McLaren’s planned entry into Group 4 endurance racing, which required a certain number of road-going versions to be built. It has Fiberglass bodywork and Gullwing doors. Its powered by a Chevrolet small-block V8 engine, delivering 370 HP and a top speed of 265 km/h (165 mph). Only three M6 GTs were ever made: one built by Bruce McLaren and two additional cars by Trojan (McLaren's production partner at the time). Bruce McLaren himself used one of these cars as his personal transport, showcasing its dual capability as a road and race car.

Questions and advice about a GTS 

Hi all,

We’re currently in the fabrication stage and will continue to perfect these tips. After our 3D print, we’ve made a set of titanium tips that we added to our client’s McLaren 570GT. 

We just got back from SEMA after showcasing the vehicle and it caught lots of attention. We’ve yet to measure the decibel increase, but it sounds so much better. This current 570GT has an Fi-valved muffler paired with catted downpipes and a tune. 

We look forward to taking this to the next step and testing the market. Feel free to follow us on instagram @euromerch to stay tuned on our progress or let us know if you need our assistance on your McLaren! 

Best Regards,
Ginter
