I think its probably Miami Blue, but possibly Rivera? Either way I don't think it works on a GT4 unfortunately, although I do normally like the PTS blues, especially on GT cars...

After seeing those photos of the guards red GT4 above my heart skipped a beat.lick.This reaffirms my decision to get guards red with platinum wheels.I especially like the cleaner look of the front without those horrid nipples!.The only difference to mine from outward appearance is i have specced PCCB.

That looks lovely. Can't decide whether it looks better with black rims or not..

Yes, I had to politely ask her to get off the bonnet before I took the shot. "This isn't a TVR promo shot in the sixties!" said I.

Black surely? Innit??

I really don't know anymore. I've spent too long agonising over colours. Black / Black is where I've now got to :-

Stealth Bomber Black TM, not Jet Black Metallic. All that is required is a GT4 to put it on. Adopts whilstful face...

I did at one point spec black rims.I finally switched back to platinum last minute because i though in subdued light the black rims became invisible also black rims look awful when dirty.This is even worse with arguably the most attractive wheel design on modern Porsches.A beautiful wheel needs to stand out proudly IMHO.However on a white GT4 i would definitely spec black rims to get the contrast.

I'm going yellow and was convinced that I would go with Black wheels too, until I saw both options in the flesh at Geneva. I will now be speccing the std Titanium wheels!

This is one of the pictures I took whilst I was there:

The wheels on this combo look great. Really set off the brake discs.

I'm White but I went with Titanium in the end. Mainly because I hadn't seen Satin Black in the flesh.

Not yet Phooey - thanks for asking. I was invited in to see that GR one today before it went out the door in a sort of Bullseye "Take a look at what you could have won!" scene.

I'm now told again that the prospects are good as there is word that they want to ramp up production and get more cars out. So still a waiting game really.

Black/Black is my current fav.
