Amazing, but with the shape of this car and the black trim? Will be rather special.

Sorry are you saying you think it will not work ?

Most of these are superb colours, but its purely subjective. I have a preference, but how does that help you?

Buy what you like! Sod everybody else!

I think this is where I'm struggling - so many choices and all so different - come on MTR - I'd like to know what you would choose

I have to be honest and say that I would probably struggle more than you are! Nice problem to have of course.

For me though, dark colours are out. Binned. Metallics too. They are not right for this type of car.

It has to be bright and stunning. So, heres my shortlist;

Voodoo blue (a lovely mid blue, riviera is too light)
Maritime blue (a deeper almost reddish tint)
Rubystone (proper fk you colour!)
Blood orange (beautful hue)
Guards red. (Its the daddy)
Carrara white (because race car)
Viper or Porsche Green (both fabulous)

I am not sure that the yellows are right as its quite a big car.

I actually like the lava, it will probably end up being THE colour. Or that might be that purple!

Anyways, what would I have. Well, I would want to be different and go with what I like so its Guards red.

Agree - what a fabulous problem - wish they were all like this !
Love Voodoo and Maritime - very tempting to go blue - agree IMHO all the other blues people put on GT's are a bit washed out to my taste
Really sorry don't get the Rubystone thing - I realise this is tantamount to heresy
Blood Orange - looks great on the rendering below with the decals - love the decals !
GR - not for me
Viper and Porsche green - need to grow some before I can spec the proper colours

Really not sure about the Lava - or this thread would not have been started - just looks a bit disappointing in real life

I'd love a PTS but I don't want to delay the build a moment longer so I've ordered Lava with orange bits inside.

I was told an extra 3 to 4 weeks for PTS as long as on the approved list - as my build isn't until Novemebr it's no problem to wait a month

Not convinced it will work with this much larger 911, and without decals.

You may be right - keep swinging from metal colours to GT Silver - I'm a lost cause

Loving the decals - got to get some of those Bobby Dazzlers Do you know which orange this is ? - looks great !

I do love the white there with the side decals.. my config has always been Lava, but have applied for Mexico Blue now, having seen the orange car again (after Geneva) at East London. Anyone aware of what PTS does to the order time, my dealer thought 12 weeks delay, but not sure as I'm Dec build anyway?

I was told 3-4 weeks if on the standard PTS list .

Cheers - I really appreciate this , I have to say I think I'm going to go Lava , I didn't like it at Silverstone , but I am hoping it was the showroom lights making it looked washed out ? In your pics it looks great - have you edited them or are they "real" : did it look washed out to you ? In truth , I'd go Tangerine if this was available PTS as its basically a richer Lava - it isn't available though

What did you think of the other cols - not sure about the purple personally ?

Thanks again

Thanks for your help - I think I'm going to stick to Lava though

I was at the PEC last week and thought the same so I took the sample outside. Looked completely different….

Cheers for that - I didn't see that sample there - looks good cheers !

Norfolkaston said:

Love it - thanks

Did you see it in GTSM too ?

I had specified mine in Voodoo, however after far too much time on the net I changed it Riviera.
Just got to wait now .......... ( and not look at any more colours !!)

Don't want to mess with your head - but IMHO - Voodoo is nicer to my eye than Riv - really sorry !

Blood Orange and Tangerine are the same colour. Tangerine is the official name. I had a 2.4S in that colour and it looked amazing, but it is possibly quite close to Lava Orange.

Are you sure - my extensive Internet search led me to believe that Tangerine was darker than
Blood Orange - looked different to me ?? Either way , they look better than Lava - but neither are on the PTS list which is a shame

Relic said:

A lot of people, including some dealers call the colour Blood Orange but Porsche officially call it Tangerine. It's a very reddy orange anyway. I had my car in Hong Kong for a few years and it's very light sensitive. In the light there it looked a lot lighter, almost a salmon sort of colour but when I brought it back to the UK it seemed much darker.

It looks really different in bright sunshine and looks fantastic with the black and silver Fuch wheels and chrome trim.

Wish I'd kept it.

Sounds lovely - post a photo please What you say makes lots of sense as I was going round and round in circles trying to understand the difference between the two ! Either way it sounds a lot like Lava , at its best looks really rich and dense and then in other images looks washed out and pink - maybe safer to go for White or GT Silver !

I saw Lava at Goodwood - in the showroom and on the road. I've emailed my dealer to say I don't want it now. I just don't like it. Not sure what I'm switching to though..,

It's a pain - it's just not quite right - I really like it in GT Silver but feel it's too safe for a GT car - also nice in White - but it's a bit done to death now - not sure what to do either (not moaning - lovely problem to have !)

[RSVP911]

Popped to Silverstone myself to have a final look at Lava before confirming my spec - wanted to see it in daylight as I didn't really like it when I saw it originally inside the PEC .I was hoping that it was the lights - unfortunately it wasn't - Lava Orange - not for me : Just not rich enough , looks washed out and not quite right for my eye - it's "OK" but not WOW and it needs to be WOW - I think Blood Orange (Tangerine) is deeper and as such nicer , but unfortunately this isn't available PTS frown

(it looks better - richer and deeper in colour , in the photos than in real life )
