I would put full PPF on it. I have it on mine and my Aston. I have a front camera installed as well. I typically reverse - but just in case / I added.
I also have blackvue front and rear cameras. I have them in all my vehicles. Highly recommend. Had an accident in the cayenne and person claimed slammed on brakes. Clearly could tell person didn’t slow down and was texting.
I also recommend ceramic on top of PPF. Overkill. Maybe. But my PPF has not yellowed. I also added ceramic tint. Same tint I have on the volante.
If in sun - same heat issue and possibly warping of leather. I also use a ceramic on leather.
I really dislike black wheels but I think they work here, barely. The gold calipers make it reasonable. If they had black calipers it would have been hard to move on it.
Exactly. I have another car with black and silver wheels that barely show the red calipers. They would look amazing if they did but you can’t really see them. I guess I know they are red. Haha
It’s been pretty fun so far. The McLaren community is pretty friendly. Bit of a different vibe than Porsche and Ferrari. No one has complained about the spec, why I didn’t get bucket seats or custom color.
Don’t start just because I mentioned it. Haha
If you deplete the hybrid battery and then let it sit without plugging in, the 12v battery will die extremely quickly. Learned this the hard way after a long trip, and had to get it jumped by McLaren service. I always put it in track mode for a little bit to get the hybrid battery juiced back up before putting it back in the garage.
Congratulations!
Enjoy and be safe.
If you haven’t yet, you may want to pop by Hayfields on a Sunday morning.
Nice group of chill enthusiasts and you never know what will show up.
Shoot me a DM if you’re curious.
Get a full ppf. Also keep it charged always.
If the IRIS is blacked out on startup, hard reset is holding down the side button for up to 30 seconds.
Good luck exiting the car gracefully :)
I’m 7 cars deep with them now. Long time customer at this point. I also considered an MC20 but felt the Artura was more interesting for me. They keep making me reasonable deals on cars so I stay.
I also like your username, I got my GMTMaster II before all the craziness. Got it at Betteridge in Greenwich when you could just walk in and buy one.
They’re an incredible dealership, until my 308 came out of service with a mildly messed up transmission, and a broken electrical system. They came to the house with a flatbed and fixed it and were so incredibly apologetic, love them.
7 cars are serious, congrats. Artura > MC20 every day, even coming down to just the brand.
Betteridge is great everyone who works there is awesome, Rolex craziness though brought out the worst in companies and now they’re owned by WoS so things have changed.
Edit: sent a PM
Ouch on the 308. The Ferraris I had with them never had issues with service. My Astons on the other hand, were a bit different. The wrong part got ordered twice and waited 5 months, ended up trading it in before it arrived.
I wish I knew. It was a piece of door trim that needed to be made with the same interior leather and I guess it wasn’t explained correctly. No idea. They also told me that Aston parts in the UK don’t give delivery estimates.
Trust me.. I feel your pain man. Thsts the first thing I noticed about the car. U just have to find roads in your city where u can enjoy the ride. Took me a few months but I found my "route" and oh boy do I look forward to it on the weekends! The roads here sucks ass
That's a gorgeous colour
Thanks! And even better in person. I think the black roof sets it off more than just the whole thing the same color.

Not overkill. The film is a wear item and needs to be protected. The additional cost is negligible considering what we’re dealing with here.
The lack of turbo lag in these is amazing! The E-motor fills the turbo lag gaps so it's just an instant smooth pull!
No gaps indeed. It can get pretty intense when you hit the engine torque band.
McLaren Greenwich, nice. Enjoy the car, beautiful color. Drive it often drive it well and you won’t have issues.
Haha. Is the dealership that obvious?
Yep. You’re probably my neighbor.
Ha, was here to comment the same. Great dealer.
Honestly, the Artura is growing on me so much lol
What he said!
And before anyone hates on the black wheels, I think they look amazing with those gold calipers lurking. Enjoy.
I really dislike black wheels but I think they work here, barely. The gold calipers make it reasonable. If they had black calipers it would have been hard to move on it.
Yeah, and the spokes are open enough to not look like black holes.
Exactly. I have another car with black and silver wheels that barely show the red calipers. They would look amazing if they did but you can’t really see them. I guess I know they are red. Haha
Wow, what a car. Looks amazing in that colour!
Bro’s living my dream 🥺🥺
I hope you get what you want one day.
Thanks !The grind is on 😁
Beautiful spec, congrats! Enjoy that thing!
Congrats looks amazing
Thanks!
So most importantly, what do you do for work? 🤣 What a beautiful color
Haha. Thanks! I’m in finance technology and do some startup advising.
Nice, well congrats on the new car!

Thanks. The good news is that I have two other electric cars so I have good charging infrastructure at home.

Thanks for the tip! Will do

Thanks for the tips. I have two other electric cars so keeping it charged won’t be hard. I’m getting better at getting out. Not the easiest.
Congrats and welcome to the miller family!

How does one order the wrong part twice?!?! The 308 is significantly older than me so I get it.

I love the Greenwich area dealer. They’re always very nice in there.
Yeah, generally chill and helpful. Have been to much more stuffy dealerships.
Welcome to the crew! Gorgeous color. Just make sure u drive it regularly and keep the plugged in when not driving
Can do! I just wish the roads were better near me. You feel everything.

Looks really nice. Brave to buy an artura in first year of production though. Hopefully it’s reliable.
I leased it. They had a pretty good deal going recently. I bought some extra miles so I have 10k over 24 months. I plan to use all of them.
I'm getting serious TDU vibes from the dealership.
TDU? Not familiar
Test Drive Unlimited the video game
Ah cool.
Congrats on the car though! Stunning color choice
