Wow that is bright.. not sure I would be brave enough on a C4S.. but on a GT3 would definitely be at home together with Mexico, Voodoo and Gulf...

Ha at least get them to paint the calipers snot green to match the rest of the car!
Already done that, negotiated as part of the deal, would have been red otherwise wink

It's actually the same colour as the callipers on the hybrid Panamera's
Can't wait to see it. Its going to look fab.

I just wish I didn't have till January to fully make up my mind as I'm spending an unhealthy amount of time deliberating this issue!! One minute I'm thinking Riviera Blue, then Gulf Orange etc etc!!

I think all of those funky colours are cool so you can't go wrong! I've never seen the colour you're going for apart from on a lotus elise sport 160 so it will be more exclusive than orange to gulf blue

I have a copy of the list too, and spent a whole night Googling every single one!!!

You can try and get any colour approved, it just takes an age.....

I agree, but I've had an Arancio Gallardo so I've ticked the orange box......the problem that I've found is that none of the Porsche Oranges available are true vibrant orange.....Gulf Orange is a bit milky and pastel-esque and they stopped doing the GT3RS Orange..........

The lower colour is Riviera blue and above it is Mexico blue. I'm going for a CGTS in Riviera with hopefully April/May delivery next year. I waited 18 months for an Elise back in the day so it shouldn't be too painfull ........... Who am I kidding !

Awesome, mine is (hopefully) coming in the colour of these calipers;

Can I ask where have you ordered from? My OPC are telling me that the PTS order book doesn't open till January which means a March Delivery PLUS the 12 week PTS delay meaning AprMay delivery too.....

Have a look at the rennlist GT3 thread there is something about the PTS order book timing on there. It looks like a carbon copy of what they were told.

It seems to be the case, just checking what others are being told!

I might even fly to Stuttgart to pick mine up, by the time May comes around I'll be bouncing off the walls!!

Lovin the colour Sarnie. It pays to be bold!!

I have ordered mine through Hatfield and have been told exactly the same as you regarding when the PTS order book re-opens.

It will be worth the wait BELIEVE ME smile

It's certainly going to be bright!! haha

Thats good then about the order, you never know when these OPC's are spinning you a line just to secure your order!

I think I might combust before May though!!

I nearly talked myself into buying a Cayman R, as a stop gap the other night, as I couldn't stand the wait!!

Perfect colour for a 911, but then I would say that wink
