Please someone PTS a Nardo Grey car..

That looks fantastic. If I can't get PTS I am tempted to go with some kind of decals like that...definitely going for something to add that personal touch from the Exclusive/CXX Options.

Guards looking classy

Romans have just taken a Graphite Blue 911 Turbo into stock....I reckon the photo's are a pretty good at representing what GB looks like in sunshine and shade from the cars I have actually seen in the metal

I am not sure if this is Miami blue:

What do you guys think to the decals on this 911R? I thought of adding the silver P O R S C H E side strip and possibly red bonnet / roof stripes (I'm going steels / red callipers now). Not sure if the red stripes will make it look a bit naff aka 911R wannabe!

I'd be tempted to just put the matching silver side stripes but do Porsche in yellow to match PCCB...(or red if steels) I wouldn't bother with he bonnet ones..

You just have to take into account that in this country we rarely get any sunshine!

Very true.

Same thought here

[Phooey]

Cheers - good idea re PORSCHE in different colour. Can you buy these decals direct from Porsche or do you have to have them made from a 3rd party supplier?

Looks like a Comfort seat GT silver car...

[2010spy]

I'm thinking of this spec, GT with Comfort Seats.

Thanks for the earlier advice on this thread concerning the alcantara steering wheel. That matter has now been decided. Has anyone got any links to pictures of a guards red car with black alloys and black LED headlights?

TIA

Absolutely gorgeous

I agree..GT silver according to these photos makes the GT3 look too humdrum and suits the GTS much better imo...Yellow still looks best on the new GT3 especially with the contrasting black accents and black rims. Lava looks incredible in the sunshine however looks strangely flat on a typically dull UK day. Of the special colours i prefer Carmine red which looks good in all lights.Can our resident photo detective (namely Phooey) dig up some nice photos of a Carmine red 991.2GT3 i wonder...

Thanks for these. I've just changed my spec to GT silver with black wheels together with the pccbs. I'm not too sure I like the look of GT in those pics? Dare I say boring?

Maybe I should just go for Lava and be done with it!

Yes maybe boring, but ever so classy. GT Silver shows off the full detail of the body work. Whilst I have been wondering about another colour, very content with my decision to go GT Silver.

Car ordered a little while ago, and saw it at the dealers yesterday but will get it registered in July so still a couple of weeks to wait. It has alcantara steering wheel with red marker stripe.

But it's not my GT3....it's my wife's new Golf GTI, will be content with holding that steering wheel while I wait for the GT3....will look extremely similar!

I agree on Lava, but Carmine also looks flat and cack in the usual UK weather IMHO. As the earlier posters say, GT silver is too boring for a winged GT3.

Yellow looks awesome, as it does on the GT4. On a GT car you need to go loud or go home

I agree GT is classy. I had it on my GTS and always said that if I get a GT3 it'll be GT silver.

So what wheels are you going for? Pccb's?

PCCBs with satin alu.

Decision made. Now thinking of adding the red stripes as well!

I was deadset on Lava for my 718 but I kept seeing these everywhere and it kinda put me off :

But then it seems Toyota offer Miami too


In the end I went for Skoda grey as it's rarer
