Red just a step too far without getting the lipstick out

Is that a Gen 1? It does not have the Black end plates on the rear wing but it does appear to have the air intake on the rear lid.

It is unless someone has gone retro on a .2 already! That's a Gen 1 front bumper too.

Very nice. And exactly the combination I've locked down for my .2 GT3. It's being build early Sept - can't wait.

I asked Scott to post these of his Gen 1 as I knew he'd was one of the few to Spec silver wheels the 1st time round , and was keen to see some pics before mine locks down .

Thanks Scott - they re-enforce my decision .

Next problem is do I go standard free silver or £800 satin aluminium .....

Anyone here had the "leatherette" interior on a 991.1 GT3 ?? Is it vinyl !?

Leatherette ain't pretty. If you're spending £125k on a new sports car, might as well spend another £2k on having the interior clad in fine leather. Now I know that there are a fair few purists on this forum who argue that the GT3 is a track car that ought to be shorn of any frivolous weight-adding luxuries like leather, PCM or reversing cameras. I disagree, but each to their own.

And you'll be able to sell it after you've finished with it!

Any new review vids out?

Apologies, if this has already been covered, but is there any truth to this touring pack rumour for the 991.2 GT3 manual?

I think it is just a rumour, although it's been floating around for a while.

Of course, it may be offered on the GT3, or it may be some other lesser model, or it may be completely unfounded.

Do we think that's Lava Orange or badly exposed Guards Red ? My guess is the former ?

[breadvan]

5029 is Lava.

Thanks. Looks good in those photos...better than I have seen it look in the metal!

I really want to be able to order Orange but I am not convinced that Lava is orange enough in all light conditions. I might make a trip to an OPC with a Lava RS and take a closer look.

There was a Lava Orange GT3RS at a show I was at last weekend in Cumbria and it looks so flat in certain lights.
