a slightly delayed PTS for footsoldier hehe
Yep...given the difficulty in getting one, and also how much I like it, I decided I'd go the whole hog and get it painted the way it would have come out of the factory if I'd had the chance.
No chance I'll be selling it in foreseeable circumstances, and I can't say that about many cars (even inc 918).

I figure it was best to do it early (although have done 2k miles pre-frozen roads).
It's back at Porsche GB at Reading, and they are painting it Arrow blue.
When body is painted, I'm going to get one or two half sets of decals and put them on the car; go and see it, and make a final call before having stripes painted on (or maybe no stripes at all...)
Very likely to have one of these options (probably white or silver).








Less likely...

+1 on that choice given the arrow blue base colour...

However, have you thought of gulf orange with silver?

Can someone photoshop it?

You have big balls footsoldier. Hats off to you. I had dinner with a very good friend last night and we were discussing values. With the world seemingly approaching complete turmoil. My feelings are if I invested my money in shares or gold that were worth half what I paid for them yesterday I would be devastated. Having that money invested in cars I would be disappointed with myself. But I still get to look at them and best of all drive them. Not too much of a downside

Only downside is liquidity if needed I guess - but otherwise, if one can ride it out then I agree smile

Wow this is going to be amazing. Can you PM me how much OPC Reading are roughly charging for this pls? I've never been happy with ordering black on my 997t. Salesman talked me out of PTS Gulf Blue. Also will they respray the whole shell or just the outside?

Sorry for not replying to a,couple of people who've asked about the cost. I've been on school holidays...

I'm not going to give out the exact costs as this is not a one-off job, it's tied in to a repaint of a 924 last year, and another R being done shortly (not mine!). It wouldn't be fair to the guys at Reading to give out full details, but it's not unreasonable cost IMO, compared to PTS on a 918, for example, Give them a call and I'm sure they'll be happy to chat through.

All of the exposed areas are being painted. The car has been stripped and prepped, and while I was away the spray out samples were sent to me to approve which I'll do tomorrow. Seem to be a perfect match...

Would that be the crooks at G and C in Harrogate they are referring to?

Footsoldier has an Instagram account which has pics of this car IIRC and his rather splendid GT2 RS which he's gone to similar extraordinary lengths with.

prices of these seem to be all over the place - from 298k euros for this 10km example

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id...

All the way to 499k euros

https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id...

Quite why there is a 200k spread I have no idea.

Indeed. Is this Footsoldier's custom one? It mentions the NO66 *** plate in the advert. Hope he's OK an all that.
