991 GTS Must haves

Oak Green. What have you gone for?

[Davidkn]

It was an agonising decision, with so many colours on offer, and very little chance to see any of them in the flesh, I struggled.

I wanted green too, saw yellow green on a car in silverstone, liked it, but a bit too bright, so settled on viper green in the end. I’d love acid green (or yellow, can never remember which it is), but I just don’t think you would get away with it in the uk.

I love the blues too, Mexico, gulf, riviera, Oslo, voodoo, maritime, arrow, but I wanted something obviously pts, and with a lack of green on offer, seemed to be the one to go for, always wanted a green car too.

Lots of other colours considered too, all bright though.

Am sure that will look awesome. I have a green range rover so in my rather OCD mind wanted the oak green GTS to be matching! Fingers crossed they might re-open a short PTS window before GTS production ceases

I would also go silver wheels as well - did the dealership paint them for you or aftermarket? I've heard that it's £££ to have it as a CXX option by Exclusive.

Dealer painted them, about £1K.

has anyone had the sport bucket seats?

I have and due to lack of height adjustment my wife is unable to drive the car without some kind of cushion I guess

surprising a 3k seat option lacks height adjustment ...also you cannot fold them forward unless they are pushed back so overall not the most practical things but I would not have spec'd the car without them as they really look great and compliment the cars overall character (2WD coupe)

[SHIFTY]

Stand to be corrected but the sports buckets with memory has an electric height button.

[MOORO]

I think carbon folding buckets with memory just has memory for the electric steering column...

Unfortunately other than GT3 and 911 T they don't offer the 918 bucket seats that have height adjustment which personally I find a crying shame.

Yup, folding buckets in the GTS don’t have height adjustment. The LWB’s witht(e fixed back that are available in the GT3 have electric height adjustment.

Normally I'd fall in line and say that the GTS Interior pack is essential, but I do love these two, two-tone interior cars:

how come you sold so quick? any reason you didn't pick RWS on it?

[mc_blue]

RWS due to budgetary constraints (had to stop somewhere). Reason for sale was a deal I did with the dealership to get a GT3 - I took a bath on this car but hoping the GT3.2 will negate some of the losses incurred!

I think it also does the mirrors but for some reason my mirrors do to some random default position eveey time i turn off the car and i need to press 1 to move to the saved position. Not a big deal but kind of annoying.

The other minor annoyance is the indicator stalks seem to lack the solid feel of the rest of the car

These are my only issues on an otherwise fantastic machine

Well, round of applause from me then! I love that spec.
