Like some others here, we used to routinely buy our cars in Europe - 3 Honda's (including an S2000 which I ran for 3 years / 22k miles and sold for £500 less than I paid for it) and a Renault. Saved many, many thousands of pounds vs. best offers I could negotiate through UK dealerships.

Is fitting with the white spot on the lower side an option - I though these were asymmetrical in profile?

The last pre-facelift (so pop-ups :) ) NSX sold in the UK. Still have it today

I am very, very happy for my car not to be rubbed down with a gritty rag!

Because OP is based in N America...Canada to be specific.

Had my 1st drive in the dark last night since the update to activate proper matrix functionality. 5 or 6 miles along twisting and undulating Sussex lanes. I could see the lights doing what they do, but was also flashed by 3 oncoming cars...I probably only passed 10-12 on the whole drive, so...

My car is an LR and they told me the wouldn't / couldn't code it as spoiler only fitted to P?! Interested to hear if other have had a different outcome?

Pretty much this! I did used the adhesion promoter mentioned and warmed both surfaces with a hair dryer before attaching the spoiler -:it's important to measure, test fit and mark with masking tape precisely where it is going because the 3M VHB tape does 'grab' under these circumstances.

Computer modelling geophysicist. Retired...but now consulting again on fun projects. Work has taken my to 40-odd countries on 6 continents (Antarctica eludes me)....I like to travel!

I decided to retire at 59 (kids all grown up, no debts...computer modelling geoscientist resolving hydrocarbon ownership disputes)....after 12 months found I was missing the work, but certainly not the company / office politics. I now cherry-pick projects which interest me, working for people I...

I agree, and all credit to @edb49 for resisting this demand, though I completely understand why others might just accept this and be done with what must be a trying process. Tesla customer service at its finest.

Where is the risk?! You run the quote, if its sufficiently less to merit cancelling/paying cancellation fees/accepting new quote, you go for it. If it's more / not worth the hassle, you've lost nothing more than a few minutes finding this out!

Agreed. Utter madness.

I suspect that mudflaps will not necessarily prevent this - there will be an accumulation of road grit beind the mudflap and this will slowly abrade through the paint. The fact that the mudflaps hide the area means the rust is more likely to go unnoticed and get a proper hold.

Seriously....if the insurance is looking crazy, I would consider cancelling your order.
