Well, my first Porsche has just arrived at my OPC, waiting for prep and ceramic coat. Obviously, tremendously excited, keys due 3 weeks today for the new reg / getting back off hols. Its got to have its front splitter fitted and the suspension is still jacked up for transport.

Its yellow, very very yellow, dont see many yellow pics posted on here, so maybe I'm brave with a flagrant disregard for resale, who knows....

If I was speccing a 992 today, it’d be yellow.

Nice one, I'd say you have great taste there.
I like yellow, whether it's cars, tractors, garages - whatever smile

You joke, but fly poop or more correctly vomit leaves a tiny black spot the size of a full stop which won't come off with car shampoo or pressure washing. Each poop, probably 1,000 on my wife's car right now needs individual attention to remove, either scratching off with a thumb nail or using tar remover or such like. Adds hours to a proper wash. Comes back from a service valet with the spots still in situ.

We'll never again buy a colour flies love.
