This was my finial spec: http://www.porsche-code.com/PGETVB36

As per Mario149 comments and after spending nearly 6 monthly with the car, I was regretting not ordering the reversing camera but now I am used to the car it’s really not worth the extra money. I tend to agree with the Bose as well, its ok but it’s not great as I do find it overly bassy. However, it’s much better than the standard offering in my opinion. However, as above I do spend most of the time listing to the glorious flat 6 sound track as that’s what really sold me the car.

The few items which I should have ordered which I still miss are:

HomeLink
Speed limit display
Door sill guards in carbon, illuminated - I'm in the process of getting this fitted at my OPC.

I can highly recommend the ACC Cruise, as that really is my guilty please its makes driving the car on long trips really effortless. It’s also very good for freaking your passengers out. biggrin

I agree with the smoking package, as it add an extra 12v socket and a nice little cover where it would normally be a recess
Ordered the illuminated carbon door sills on my CGTS and love it! Perfect match with the the GTS interior. :-)

Congrats for tomorrow, hope it all goes well. Post a pic when you have time.
Bet you will have a slightly sleepless night, in a good way of course.

Jay.

Quote "Always happy to oblige :-) When I was deciding on colour I came across a couple of pics of Saphire Blue with red stitching and they convinced me blue with red stitching would work."


Thanks for the pics, looks great. I have a white S at the moment, blue is a bold choice compared to that and I think yours looks fab.

Picked up new car today - need to get some better sts after it has been detailed - showroom was packed this morning so hard to get a good angle.

Went for white with black satin alloys and it looks amazing in the flesh. All those months of worry are over - thrilled with it!

Very nice Kazandy,

Looks like Sheffield.....are you around that area?

Bet you had a ball yesterday. Congratulations on your new car, looks fantastic.

Have you booked a detailer already? I use Russ @ Reflectology, he has always been top draw with my stuff. I know it's a personal thing, but give him a shout if you have not booked one yet. He started using Siramik mainly now, have to say it's been brilliant on my last two cars.

Jay.

Hi, yes it's Sheffield and yes it's Russ who does my detailing - small world! He is very good.

Has anyone put the side indictors from the GT4 on the GTS? As I have been looking into it at the moment.

I am going to and have ordered the parts, the GT4 ones are LED as you are probably aware of.

Where did you order them from, your local OPC? I've been trying to get through to the parts department most of the afternoon at my local one, no luck so far.

Went to Porsche in Solihull today - interesting convo with the people there, hoping to put my name down for a GTS but it will have to be delivered in March next year (assuming production continues) as there is no more allocation this year - so says a man called Nathan in central pork. This probably isn't news to people here but was to me smile

Looking at my final spec http://www.porsche-code.com/PGNFJ5W6

The centre were saying that almost none are manual cars and that seemed to be true from the stock they had - all pdk... can someone have a look at the spec and ensure I haven't missed anything obvious and that I'm not insane going for a manual... smile

Steve! smile

Thats a sparse spec!!

When I ordered mine I couldn't get it below £70k!!

Why do you want the GTS designations removed?
