I ditched jet black for guards red then I see this and may change back
I've only looked critically at jet black metallic in showrooms, but it wasn't as nice as I expected under showroom lighting.

Black will rarely look as good as in that heavily processed photo (which does look amazing I have to agree!) so you may as well go all out with flat black I'd have thought?
Detailers and paint obsessors swear choosing by metallic black every time because solid black picks up scratch / swirl marks far too easily supposedly...

Yep, I get that but having seen jet black in a showroom it looked very swirly too to my eyes...

That's probably because the dealer will spend 20 minutes or so valeting the car the wrong way using a sponge and one bucket. Rule of thumb, never let an OPC clean your car smile

It looks good but I would be board of that in 1 week.

I still get kids going "nice car" "thumbs up" "rev it", yesterday had 4 girls at the car when I came back to it wanting to chat

it's the Colour which does that imo not that it's an R or a Porsche. It's a bright green shiny sports car.

Some one should have gone Peridot on a GT4 :-)

Take the wing off the silver one and it looks drab, def not a GT car colour.

Maybe the 'secret' CTS customer has gone Peridot...

I for one am excited to learn the specifics on this.

I've gone GT because I prefer to be a bit more discrete. I'm definitely not a big wing fan, the silver tones it down a bit imho. Silver stands the test of time well on a Porsche too.
There's no right or wrong, we all have different tastes thankfully.
Having said that I'm going against myelf by still considering Guards! Was also considering Signal green at a time.
I once had the red leather interior, I've decided the more outlandish colours tend to 'grate' with me after a while.

So you like the colour of your car because it attracts the attention of children and young girls.......... eek

Or as you would put it..... ODD!!

I personally prefer to avoid that sort of attention, but different strokes for different blokes I guess!

"What's the saturated fat content?" hehe

Phooey, all the pics from Auto Gespot do make the car look fantastic, but I think they are all tampered with.

I'm going to look at DBM in the flesh again in some better(brighter) light as when I viewed the other evening it looked rather drab and nondescript. Yet, on here, all the DBM GT4 pics have looked fantastic!

Yep, guards/satin is my colour combo. Non-metallic better to polish too. Just debating now on seats - bucket or adaptable?
