GR GT2RS... just a question re side decals.. I assume there are no official ones at this stage? Are you having some made up to mimic the 997 RS decal look? I do think entirely white looks good, but great with decals, just breaks up the plain white very nicely.
The plan is just to put the 997.1 decals on the 991 - OPC says they will fit and they are orderable Edited by mcx27 on Thursday 16th July 13:49

Anyone heard in the last day or so about a complete cancellation of PTS for the RS? Some rumours coming from a Rennteam forum to that effect. Hope not ALL PTS cancelled
Not too bothered as alll the PTS colours that I wanted were not on the list Aubergine
Arrow Blue
Metallic Slate Grey
Tangerine/Blood Orange
Not great
LAVA ; its a bl**by strange colour - I have now seen it 3 times and in some lights it looks properly orange , in others more red - either way it is basically what I'd describe as a flat jelly Bean colour - However , I think I finally "get it" - I now really like it - I think it will become a proper classic RS colour - I'm swapping from White to Lava - its official (well it is today anyway !) The images below are all original un molested (taken on an iPhone) The RS has been detailed by paddy328 and IMHO looks amazing , the others are of a GTS - this is unprepared and un polished - stickers literally just removed - this shows how different Lava can look :

I think you must of been on the booze last night. Have you forgotten how faded Lava Orange looks in sun light. It will always look like a 20 year old guards red. It has no depth or body. Having said that white is pretty boring too. I really want to pop over to Stuttgart and ask the plonker who gave us this limited choice WHY? He will probably answer "because I can"
No , honestly , it isn't - it's just a flat retro jelly bean colour - I didn't get it at first but I think it's "right" for the RS - it's like fungus - it grows on you I think you must of been on the booze last night.

Richard - having seen both White and Lava in the flesh I would definitely choose the WHITE....
Having said that you're the lucky one with the decision to make....
Hi Chris - as an owner of a white car I get this POV and I may well do just that - will decide in a few weeks - and if my spec locks before driving the PEC car in Lava then so be it - I'll let fate play its part - it's like colour Russian roulette - if however I don't like Lava after this and the spec is still open I'll swap to White , or GTSM or Ultraviolet - lucky for me PTS has been pulled or I'd be running around in circles forever - too much choice for my tiny little mind to deal with Having said that you're the lucky one with the decision to make....

Yes you know the full story was a long haul and added six months to the delivery time.
Lets be honest the car looks great in any colour. Its all a matter of personal preference.
Note the wheel colour as recommended by you. Interior has the red stitching too which works with the Guards red dials, and seat belts etc.
