Yes live 5 mins from OPC. ? Are you local? We will have to organise a north Birmingham GT4 owners meet if you are!

I haven't had a chance to do many miles yet, but initial thoughts are all positive. Can't wait to get a few hundred miles on it and some nice weather so i can put it through its paces.

Yeah, within a couple of miles from dealership. Would be good to get a few of the cars together

Can we all just take a moment....

Such a great colour on this car, but that damn brown hue (in direct sunlight) is all that holds me back from choosing it.

That's the RS Grey jobbie is it. Very nice. No brown hue off that one then, just menace

it's 'grey black' I think ? that's what it was called on the gen2 997 3.8 GT3 RS I had from new. super colour, but a bugger to keep looking tip top. looks mega on the GT4, well done that man !

Theres one for sale in similar colour to the grey if anyone wants some different pics

Ah, so it isn't...more pics please

[miskalachi]

I believe it's called 'Grauschwarz' - a truly stunning colour!

My new car, hoping to pick it up later this week - can't wait now. I wasn't 100% on the silver wheels when I finalised the order but glad I did now. As an added benefit they shouldn't show up stone chips from the track as much as the black/titanium versions.

Only downside is it comes with Dunlops, I guess you can't have everything.

Whats is the problem with the Dunlops??? From reading some reviews across the pond the Dunlops are getting good feedback.

Nice car btw

Amazing how the wheel colour changes the look of your car - looks good - looks a bit 458 ish in the top shot - enjoy

I had a 991 GT3 in Agate grey, and your GT4 looks every bit as good, love the silver wheels too. Mine's guards red with platinum wheels, love it, but it is very "in your face"..!

Have you tried adjusting the harnesses yet....? Looking at them, they look quite a fiddle...! On the GT3 with folding buckets, at least you can get your hands underneath the seat and adjust the crotch strap....looks like you need tiny fingers to adjust them on the 918 seats...! At least your seats have height adjust so you can get them up out of the way to ease adjustment.

Anyway, enjoy it..!

Thanks, from what I have read the Dunlops don't seem to hold up as well on track and have a higher wear rate. We'll see how I get on with them. Just need to get the PPF fitted now and start working on that run in mileage.

I thinks is crazy how much the colour of the wheels change the look of the car. I hadn't seen another photo of an agate and silver combination so I was very happy when I got the first pics.

My GT3 was Rhodium - always wished I'd gone Agate - best colour for the 3 IMHO (closely followed by DBM)

Have to say, your Guards Red looks fantastic. Nice plate

Focker here are some photos of my guards/plat GT4 pre delivery.

[Fokker]

Thanks Taffy. Looks lovely. GR is defo my choice and the practicality aspect you mention about plat makes sense too.
I am also noticing chips on my black gloss cayenne wheels too whereas platinum would hide marks better I suppose.

I had plat wheels on my 991 GT3 and they picked up stone chips easily - lots of little white patches showing through - didn't bother me : fact of life - but just thought I'd mention it

The sat plat wheels on my 981 must have black undercoat, as all the stone chips just look like tar spots?
