Driving My New AMG GT R Pro for the FIRST TIME!

It's finally time to collect my new AMG GT R Pro and take it for the first drive! After getting full PPF and the new Piano Black stripes, let's collect the beast from Topaz Detailing to take it back over to my storage... in far from ideal conditions.

Kicking off at Topaz Detailing, we are surrounded by plenty of incredible cars including a Solarbeam yellow SLS AMG Black Series and the most amazing Tailor Made Ferrari F12tdf in Azzurro Avio with blue tinted carbon - almost the same configuration as my McLaren Senna that's also now finished at Topaz.

The AMG GT R Pro came straight into Topaz from the dealer where I transported it in a trailer behind my AMG G63. Since then it has had a level 2 detail, and then full coverage paint protection film on the entirety of the exterior; from painted surfaces to carbon fibre, plus even the door sill plates. We originally removed the satin grey Pro stripes because gloss PPF over them would have given a pretty poor look due to the way gloss PPF looks after satin. As such we have a second set of the grey stripes ready and set to go, but in the mean time an idea came up to test out a new product (that is not vinyl) in Piano Black. The beauty of this is having the option to see what seems best long term and to swap them back to grey should I wish - for now it fits in also with the grescale theme and appearance of the car.

After Nabil helps pull back the cover it's time to pull out both the GT R Pro and Senna; the latter being loaded up to continue it's final stages of checks before I can collect it, and the Pro ready for my first drive back to the car storage. With endless traffic along the way, and a shocking standard of driving due to it being winter and nearly Christmas, before it's finally united with the other Shmeemobiles in the garage!
