Whichever colour it is those are the wrong wheels for it IMHO.

After a major colour wobble yesterday I've ended up back on "safe" original Spec .

White , satin aluminium, clubsport , full buckets , leather , lift , Chrono , Bose , pdk and some other odds and sods .

Would have preferred manual, PTS and Touring pack but not enough to get bumped back and miss end of summer , although I will regret this once they start coming through later in year / next year .

I nearly went Miami as the pictures have been so good , but I'm sure they won't look as good in reality .....and yellow would have won me over if didn't mean also needing PCCB 's

I've already got Spec regret but what's done is done . 1st world problems

I've seen Crayon on a Panamera in a showroom and didn't like it. It didn't suit the Panamera at all. Crayon reminds me of that off-white, Magnolia Minis that you see.

My eta has changed from 18th August to mid September. Dealer says it's to with the shutdown. I think it may also be due to exclusive items like the black painted vents?

I'm also having spec regret but that's normal........

I think Crayon looks good here and is a good representation of the colour. Loving the carbon mirror caps and painted arms....

That video shows the brown tint that put me off Crayon when I saw a Panamera in it.

There are three pics of that car here

http://www.exoticsonroad.com/picture/?1414474/Pors...

The one from the rear makes the paint look quite different than the two from the front side.

Hardest colour to photograph EVER!

I don't think it's hard to photograph I just think it varies greatly depending on different lighting, weather and time of day. I've only had a play around with a paint tile and Crayon Porsche suitcase at my local OPC, but it was really interesting how it changes.

That's what I love most about it at the moment, closely followed by how divisive it is smile

Have you gone Pccbs and can you clarify what you mean by yellow and Pccbs...I'm currently on yellow but also have one of the whites as a safe backup plan.Btw i love the photo of white with satin aluminium wheels and did you consider CWM or not..

Hi Taffy,

what made you back up from choosing Miami? is it that bad in person? I am struggling with colour choice. I have finally made my mind about full bucket seats but color is a problem! last week I decided on Miami but this week unsure! got till September to lock my order

No I haven't specced PCCB with white , but if I had chosen Yellow you really have no choice but the Spec them as the the Red steel calipers look odd on Yellow car . So yellow effectively becomes a £6k option ( unless you already have PCCB )

Ref the Whires a had significant deliberation on my GT4 between White and CWM , and after much investigation I really couldn't tell the difference in most situations .....

Ref Miami I do think it might just work on the GT3 . I'm just not brave enough to be the 1st !

I'm struggling to decide if I like Crayon or not - reminds me of a Skoda colour. I definitely don't like the painted side skirts and actually prefer the earlier pic with the red calipers - don't like the yellow on Crayon.

Crayon is similar to Fashion Gray. I spent 4 days driving behind a Spyder in Fashion Gray across the alps on my road trip last week, and it just looked dull and washed out in real life. It also looked like it was perpetually dirty. I really wanted to like this shade, but seeing it on the road and up close so extensively convinced me it's not the colour for me.
