I know I'm going to make myself unpopular with this comment - but I prefer the look of the 991.1 at the front than the 991.2 - It looks far more organic and sits better with the side profile of the car IMHO - the 991.2 has that angular fold on the front nose section line that doesn't work as well with the curvature of the side profile - all IMHO
Wouldn't throw either out of bed though
+1 trueWouldn't throw either out of bed though
...but then the 991.1 doesn't come in manual...

Agreed! Have thought this for a while but not got around to saying so. The front PU treatment just looks wrong to me. Wouldn't throw either out of bed though

In all fairness the above is not a very flattering pic of the front.
In other pics it looks good and also in the flesh but as with all these things, it's a matter of personal taste.
If anything, its a bit more aggressive now than it was on the .1
It is - reminds me of a shark for some reason - can anyone else see this or is that just me ? In other pics it looks good and also in the flesh but as with all these things, it's a matter of personal taste.

Thinking of "wonky stickergate" and "slab of smoked salate", your track record on what looks good isn't a glorious one 
He is however a true gent, so it matters not.
Please tell me you’ve gone for Red, Crayon or White and not ‘Council bin blue’. When is yours due ?.

Thinking of "wonky stickergate" and "slab of smoked salate", your track record on what looks good isn't a glorious one However, thinking this through, If It turns out I actually add no value what so ever to the group from an aesthetic point of view and also no positive contribution from a technical perspective - plus a distinct lack of driving talent ; then I’m left with the roll of class joker - that’s about right - happy play the fool
Edited to add - actually I don’t even have an allocation so I shouldn’t even be on his thread :

If blessed by the OPC ; I plan to go White or maybe GTSM - both with as many decals as I can fit on the car

I think your place is well deserved on this thread and you contribute in a positive thoughtful manner......Besides we need a balanced view from somebody who unfortunately has no allocation as of yet, to counter the somewhat overdone misguided euphoria from the rest of us much more fortunate few..Edited by RSVP911 on Monday 30th October 20:03
When my DP informed me of my allocation my simple reply was (and i quote) : ''You have chosen wisely grasshopper''. I always express my gratitude in the most appropriate manner due to my impeccable upbringing.

You are right, he is a gent. If a little aesthetically challenged He is however a true gent, so it matters not.

I like your response to your DP - made me smile - I think we may be showing our age though !

I agree .... no car as well , but more interested in the heritage of Porsche and not the brand . I have lost money on all the GT / RS/ RSR Porsches I have had , and not interested as drive them all ( will be at Daytona next weekend trying to win for Porsche ) .
No car , no issue just have to stick to Ferrari on the road as the DD .... not really bothered
Sounds like you have your hands full - exciting stuff No car , no issue just have to stick to Ferrari on the road as the DD .... not really bothered
