In relation to a previous thread started in here regarding a Fashion Grey 991 C2S Coupe recently spotted in OPC Glasgow I thought it would be more relevant to start a new thread on the general topic to see what examples people have managed to order. I have manged to acquire a number of pictures for recent Colour to Sample cars in OPC Glasgow.

I do hope this thread is popular with you all and I hope it is a success. Please feel free to upload any examples of an official colour to sample Porsche you may have seen (not any wraps please!!).

I will start with the Fashion Grey 991 C2S Coupe that has already been pictured at OPC Glasgow. Enjoy!!

My Boxster is a L998 paint code, the actual code being 355 which is BMW Estoril Blue. That cost its first owner £3500 for the privilege!

I am the biggest fan of colours but I have to say that those 981s look terrible.

Sorry.

My favourite colours are ruby stone, Porsche green (viper) and maritime blue.

BUT! It depends on the car. It's not an exact science and highly subjective but I know what I like!

I think the 991 looks great in bright colours but the 981 looks naff. I can't explain why though!

Ooh, that look just like my old VX which was Dolphin Blue - had a beautiful red tint in sunlight.

I agree, it really depends on the car. I also think that the correct wheels can either make or break it!

I've got to say that Porsche Green (Viper) is also a long time favourite of mine. I've heard recently that 997.1 GT3RS in Viper Green are now fethcing stronger monies than Black with Orange or Orange with Black!!

I applaud the PTS cars. Even if I don't like them all, I like that they exist.

Well done to whoever was brave enough to order them.

How much does it add to the delivery time?

I believe that the order time for these colours is around 4-6 months depending on the colour and model of car.

My X50 was a PTS viola metallic.

It actually looks black in the pics I have, so won't bother posting one.

Also a big fan of most PTS colours.
