Don't paint it. It looks great as it comes. All the black bits look good together.

Hello,

I had a c63 estate for a while (v8 twin turbo) and loved the theatre and sound it made, truly intoxicating however I really struggled to keep it in a straight line so went back to Porsche!

What colour was the GTS, I saw a white one today and it looked stunning. I too am also querying the RWS and can't make my mind up. I have it currently on my 991.2S and apart from a low turning circle, I don't notice it. The trouble is I haven't driven one without it so can't really confirm if it's making a difference. As I have mentioned before, never had it in 30 or so years of driving and never missed it then so feel I could easily forget I've ever had it. There are so many 'nice to have' options on the configurator that I am struggling to try and keep my build price down.

What colour you thinking of and why isn't it lava orange
Interesting. I'm also sort of thinking if I've never had RWS, why do I need it. Having watched a comparison today, looks like without is more fun when you push on. Speed and lap times aren't the be all in my view.

The car I saw was a black car with the red GTS interior pack. I prefer understated as I don't like the attention, I just like driving nice cars.

Cheers for the reply smile

That does look good, congratulations. I actually thought it was Silver at first. I have come to the conclusion that a GTS looks good in any colour.

Thanks, I was hoping someone would say that, I suspected that would be the case but wanted to check if it was protected.
My Agate Grey 991 GTS has painted sills, 14k miles and not showing any sign of stone chips.

Looks great. More pictures please! I think Crayon looks good with more black bits, hence it works well with the Black roof.

PS I'm in the US and not a weirdo internet lurker posting stuff at 3.00am...

And what's more I averaged just over 24mpg on the twisty trip to work this morning. I had been fearing much worse!
