The 997 Appreciation Thread

[IMI A]

What a great colour though. Someone posts a speed yellow 997.2 GT3 RS on here (want)

[IMI A]

I love his car. Yea that’s the one

Willow Green imho (which is the only one that counts for me ) looks atrocious on a 997.

I like gulf blue too. Love it actually. Thoughts?

[IMI A]

Looking at willow green it’s amazing. But again the decals and RS body work make it work. Not sure it would maybe work so well on a plain vanilla GT2 aero 997. Love it though never seen that colour before.

So, just how atrocious does Willow look on a 997 ...

Been there done 5000 mile in it. Yellow looks fab on 997 must concur but got be unique if I go off piste

Speed and Signal are very different colours I. But if they're too close, go Ferrari Yellow :



It's a very "acid" yellow (think yellow but unriped lemon skin colour) and side by side with Speed it makes Speed look like English mustard ...

lovely colour but too many decals going on. No cohesion. Its a bit messy IMO.

I think we can all remember when that came up for sale from (if I recall) it’s original owner at not a whole load of beans, even back then it was pretty much appreciated it was one of the special ones.

Still don’t think willow works, wrong shade for that generation, like having a G Series in rubystone.

Yet the 964 colours work on the 997, peppermint etc.

Oh go on then…
