[findtomdotcom]

Did you manage a discount? The price seemed fair as there arent that many around at the moment...

According to howmanyleft there are 5 manual and 60 PDK Targa's so my guess wasn't far out.

Deposit put down on the Agate grey GTS at Solihull OPC. 2 weeks to go till I pick her up.

Nice work. A long 2 weeks now though. Spec?

That looked like a well priced car at £90k ? I really like Agate Grey...looks superb with the black wheels IMHO.

how exciting you won't be disappointed....you must get the ducktail if it hasn't already got it, it finishes the car off with just that little bit of retroness [sic].....nice

[SAG6Y]

It was good value for 90k. Got all the spec I wanted. All the alcantata, deviated stitching, 18 way adjustable seats, cruise. Body needs a bit work - front end resprayed and side haunches. Hence it'll take 2 weeks. Going to be a long wait!!

Each to their own, but I avoided the ducktail spoiler. I love the purity of the flat design and the black louvres. Very 991R.

I was looking at this one, mainly out of interest only. Why did it need paint - stone chips etc?

[SAG6Y]

Yup. Just stone chips. They've assured me look as close to perfect as possible. Really can't wait!

Any update on this? Pics?

[SAG6Y]

Picked her up last week. What a machine! It's actually amazing how usable it is as a family car. I'll out some pics up tomorrow.

I'm a little surprised that such a new car would warrant so much paint for stone chips?

Great looking car though. Well done.

[SAG6Y]

You and me both. It was quite worrying to think how the car had been treated. The final finish is perfect though. GTS's seem to be quite thin on the ground and this was the perfect spec for me.

[Bystander1978]

I've thought hard about having PPF on my Gts but cost just too high.
Have chips and off for long weekend hoon with pals next weekend so no doubt going to add to paint marks

[m33ufo]

Absolutely love mine. I had intended having PPF applied before driving the 200 miles home but then a change of plan meant I had to rethink. It then became apparent that once home there were no recommended companies close by. I'd have to drive another 100 miles and chance stone chips before getting it done. So, no film for me.

Quite rare on the GTS but bucket seats were a must for me together with PASM (20mm lower suspension). The LED headlights, glass roof and ducktail etc were nice to have.

No idea why some people un-tick the centre lock wheels, they make the car. And they're a breeze to remove once you have the right tool (a bloody big torque wrench!).

That's a ballsy colour choice!

[m33ufo]

The colour was a no-brainer for me. Why do so many people order silver and black 911's? That's all you see in most showrooms.
