Yellow is stunning, keep going between white and yellow on my CGTS order. Decisions decisions. Looks amazing on the BGTS, great choice!
If I was choosing for the Cayman GTS I would choose white (a straight choice between yellow and white only). I almost went for white with the BGTS. All that said the GT Silver is now my favourite colour for the CGTS! If it helps, I swung back and forward between white and yellow many times before finally choosing yellow. I have never had a yellow car before but I think it just so suits the car. I was on tender hooks until I saw if on the day of collection then was pleasantly stunned how great it looked.
I played around with a camera/tripod and some lights yesterday. (My first time taking photos with a DSLR!!)
I think the results probably speak more for the quality of modern camera equipment and the beauty of the model, rather than my own skills, but here they are anyway.
Thanks to Speedhunters who gave me the tips and how to knowledge to achieve these shots.

Lovely pics and a lovely car...truly showing how far forward the Cayman has come in the looks department with the 981....I think the results probably speak more for the quality of modern camera equipment and the beauty of the model, rather than my own skills, but here they are anyway.

Is the Boxter or Cayman an expensive vehicle to run (from Brand new...) ?
If you have to ask and all that.... I'm hankering after a boxter. I dont care for running costs as such but I dont know how expensive they are to service. Not familiar with Porsche.
They're pretty reasonable to run. Only requires servicing every 2 years or 20,000 miles. Service is around £600 - £800 so comparable to much cheaper cars that require annual servicing.If you have to ask and all that.... I'm hankering after a boxter.

Not sure what this is supposed to mean. If its a dig then I am not sure what I did to deserve it!
Me neither - there are clearly some posters on this forum for whom English is their second language. To elaborate on what has been said earlier, service requirements of 981s are (very) modest - the OPC charges are only as high as they are due to their labour rates. While you may feel it prudent to use an OPC while the car is under warranty, there are well-regarded independents who will only charge perhaps half of OPC figures. However, spares and repair costs can be very high and, if you are of a nervous disposition you might want to think about an extended warranty once the factory one runs out.

Yep would have to extend it as Id probably want to keep it 3 years. Doesnt seem too absurd to run by the sounds of it which is good news.
