My spec is about to get locked down.
I am going for carmine red, but changing the satin wheels to Carrera Sport wheels in jet black metallic.
So far I haven't specced "Rear side air intake grilles painted" in jet black, and nor have I gone for the exterior pack painted black (as I think the additional body-coloured part on the back, in red, looks like too big a bum!).
Do people think that not painting the side and/or not doing the exterior pack will look silly with the jet black (rather than satin) wheels?
Any pictures people have would be much appreciated - but thinking it's an easy way to 'save' £800+
I’m going for painted gloss black kit, wheels and intakes. My preview shows the intakes as body colour, so hoping it’s wrong. I am going for carmine red, but changing the satin wheels to Carrera Sport wheels in jet black metallic.

Bit like this but GTS: https://youtu.be/-ITk1J8S3ko
In that video, the back is painted black but it doesn't have the additional body-coloured section. What option is that?
It would be good to be able to paint the rear diffuser, without having to have the body-coloured part?
Yes, the configurator shows the side intake as body coloured, unless you load the 3D render, in which case it comes out correct.

I think it’s just the lower section in gloss black. Not sure you can option it on the GTS, that one on the video is a 718 S.It would be good to be able to paint the rear diffuser, without having to have the body-coloured part?

Is the 3D render option only on windows? Can’t see it on my iPhone?
I’ve gone with Crayon with jet black accents on my build too 
I have always been a black leather interior man, safest option in my book - not on this puppy! I’ve gone with the matching black / crayon leather interior and carbon pack.
They had a 718CS in the OPC which was almost identical to my build. Pure coincidence so seeing it in the flesh took away any doubt I had.
Build begins 09/02/18. Collection pencilled in for 22/03/18 though my dealer thinks it will be earlier.

I think we saw the same car! Mine is virtually the same but a GTS. Absolutely stunning.
Who can't wait for GTS Order and delivery time ? Seems reasonable price if you want someone's else's spec

I actually quite like it. I always wonder how these things happen. Someone lose their job maybe? https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/...Edited by ClubsportStr on Wednesday 7th February 21:56
