I will get a geo, detail and possibly ceramic coating and refinish the wheels in satin black. Also thinking about black PDLS, the lights are PDLS but not black. Any thoughts on geo for mostly road use and occasional trackday (probably one a year), I live in Bath so don't want to travel too far for the geo
Re Geo / Corner weighs : do whatever you like - your car , your choice - enjoy

Do you know what RWS is ?
In this case a typo of RWD. Regarding RWS, I know very little but I have read all the articles, collected them when the 991.1 was announced and read Elephant Racings useful review. I'm not a chassis expert, but love learning and do have a degree in automotive Engineering and did used to build F1 engines in the late 80's, including porting the heads on the DFZ's, so I'm not an idiot, well I don't think so.

Everyone’s an idiot in 911R’s eyes. You’re in good company !!
Indeed, and ironically, he involved himself in this thread with an opening comment of "geo has nothing to do with corner weights"...! I mean, you couldn't make it up..Anyway, to the OP - yes, go and check the geo of your new car, there's no harm in knowing its correct...and please leave the wheels in satin platinum finish

Fuel level drains reasonably evenly across the axle of the car, and its the side to side weight balance which is critical to a car's handling, not front to back (which will be affected by fuel level)
Sorry to say it’s the cross weight/diagonal % which is critical and why you corner weight. You will never crack side to side due to the drivers weight ! Unless you own a BAC mono !
But carry on it’s an amusing to read.
