AndrewD said:

Just give them a call. Nov build slot, you might be ok

Cheers - sticking with White - I think ......... had a wobble tonight , an ultraviolet moment - anyone seen it in real life , so hard to tell from the photos / vids due to colour manipulation - Andrew , why no UV post mid November ? - Cheers

I would certainly ask re PTS, but fear the boat has sailed. I think white looks a bit 'scalextric' , a mess, with all the black vents and aero etc.
if I were lucky enough to have got a slot, I would certainly push for PTS. The choice of colours is poor IMO, but would have had to go for Lava as the launch colour.

Hi Rob - hope you are well ? I like a bit of Scalextric - looks OK to me - honestly Lava in the metal is just not right - looks loads better in the photos than in reality. Agree colour selection is a bit pants

Not sure, just been told UV will not be available after Nov.
Nice and rare as well as stunning!

Yep its certainly a grower - I nearly switched last night ; did you ever get to see a sample of it , I think you mentioned trying to get one at the Silverstone reveal ? Cheers

THAT LOOKS WOW in white! Love the contrast from the lighter body colour vs black details. I'm Mexico PTS for mine..

So , PTS is ok is spec was in and locked before it was pulled ?? All very confusing

PTS is officially on stop. Cars already allocated with PTS can face up to a 5 month extra wait over and above the normal production month. However customers with orders already placed have the option to now add one of the three new colours.

Racing Yellow
Black
Miami blue.

people who have not added their options and colours yet will not have the three colours above to choose from and only the standard 4.

Do you mean Miami Blue or Maritime ?

Richard I saw this today in the Classic Remise Berlin (in good company as you can see!) and it looked stunning in white so good choice well made Sir!

Cheers Cris , that's quite a showroom - do you think the white was the same colour as your car ? Did it look flat / yellowish or Macleans bright white ?

BTW - deal closed on my GT3 today - threw the SWBP in for good measure

This looks good

Hi Richard.

Congratulations on the sale of your GT3, I'm sure it will more than pay for the new RS!

Looked very similar to my white 997.2 GTS but it was only viewed through glass as the showroom was closed.

Decisions decisions....

Cheers Chris

Mermaid said:

This one?

Thx Mermaid - you keep helping me with my colours - appreciate it .

Not sure though - when you google it you get all sorts of blues - do you know this is it or intelligent guess ? Cheers.

This is handy, although Miami Blue is not on that last..

Just seen reference to it on the net. Sorry, not 100% definitive.

A poster on Rennlist got a sample tin of Miami Blue mixed up. He says it looks like the blue on the VW bus in this photo.

Great thanks for all your help. However another crap colour

[RSVP911]

isuk said:

Someone else has also had the colour mixed up but it's not completely dry in this photo. If it is a contender I'd suggest asking your dealer to organise a spray out sample which should be simple for them to do with the bodyshop they use.

I think I've found my colour !

Horrible.


Yellow?

I was seriously thinking yellow - would have gone signal yellow if PTS was available and I'd gone down that route

nutbehinddawheel said:

Oh dam it - what I meant to say was what a crap colour - unless it's on a vintage Jag which transforms it to Awesome ! They did send me the pictures - but bared me from turning up today as they had an event on - I hope that the customer may pick up late enough for me to pop and see it beforehand - when I say pop - I mean do a 5 hour round trip !

Cheers , R

n13lha said:

I also had the colour made up. Can confirm it is like the VW Bus. lol. However I think the car could take the coolness. Its not on the approved PTS list either.

Cheers thanks - can I ask are the extra colours only available to people with submitted spec that included the old PTS or anyone with a submitted spec but with a standard colour ?

Sorry am I missing something ? I thought PTS doesn't exist anymore - only standard cols for most and a few extra pre chosen cols for anyone who previously had a PTS locked spec - have I got this wrong ?
