Same as my spec but with gloss black handles and part gloss black mirrors, I'm not sure if to spec PCCB's confused

Oh and July build date wobble

In two minds about Crayon - was dead set on it day one - not so sure now - wheels on this car don't help IMHO irked
Not my favourite either...too insipid especially with the lighter alloys.

Looks rather like 'hearing aid beige' in this photo!

Must like it in America though.....its the most popular colour choice specced apparantly.

I think I'll choose those wheels with Miami Blue.

I'm thinking less Darth Vader and more Liberace. biggrin

As i think Phooey has said, there is no mention of Bi Xenons headlights in BLACK with PDLS.
When I click on the Bi Xenon with PDLS option, it seems to darken the inner part of the light leaving a dark grey / grey outer surround.

Who's going for what?

For those of you contemplating Riviera Blue having secured your PTS slot JZM have just taken a Gen 1 in. I would speculate as to whether that's value but this is the "speccing" thread!

That's lovely that and to think that would have been circa £160k a little while back!
So lovely its apparently sold !

Does anyone know how much it will cost for Colour to Sample on the GT3?

There is no price on the configurator (It's £3788 for the other 991 cars)

The Metallic colours are the same @ £834, but Lava, Crayon, Miami and Carmine are £1877 for the standard 991's (£2525 for the GT3)

Does this mean they will increase the CTS if you are lucky to get the chance to select this?

Was told about £3.5k so expect your figure for other 991s is about right

I'd guess £4K to £5k so very expensive! I'd have trouble saying no if it was available though....

Ditto...Just goes to show that sometimes the KISS principle makes more sense on Porsche GT cars..!

Question is if you got flat white because motorsport or metallic white because nicer colour.

Yep whites great on the GT3...especially with red stitching and carbon imo. Metallic white is wasted on the car imo as largely indistuinguishable from flat white on a typically dull UK day, and when the suns on it its too bright anyway.

Does make you wonder though following the established popularity of the 'Apple' effect, how long white has before it possibly falls out of favour.

And for those with yellow stitching fetishes, rumour has it this will be added to the configurator together with yellow steering wheel marker for the second run cars.

That white looks absolutely perfect.

Primer, sorry Crayon, is a let-down.

Oh Yes, looks lovely in those photo's... BUT, anyone considering MB really needs to see it in the flesh. I recently saw a Cayman in it at an OPC and it looked nothing like I thought it would that I questioned the OPC that it really was Miami!! Looked awful (in the flesh)

Nice to see an advert where they've taken the time to use quality photos.
