Wheel colour?
For mine in LG and WP I went for the black magnesium wheels. On my first batch one I had LG and the black wheels with the green rim surround

After having a nice friendly chat with my OPC's SA today(and wasting his time), he informed me that all three of their RS allocations including mine will be Black WP..yikes
Still procrastinating on whether i stick with the Platinum Mag wheels..I like all three colours especially the gold ones however still not so keen with the yellow PCCBs.

I would almost play the full black and go for magnesium black with yellow callipers (well PCCB) as the 3RS sticker breaks it a bit. And the cage in titanium is a bit of a contrast which can be seen a bit from outside. But then I would go yellow stitching and this may not be what you chose?

So may we ask which colours and which colours you went for?! It is always exciting to be in a position to spec, purchase and drive one of these special cars!

Had the call yesterday I got an allocation
Specced today and asked the big questions

Has wtlp been approved YES last week
Gpf filter fitted Yes
ITB fitted NO only fitted on speedster

Regarding carbon parts my SE informs me
You can’t fit carbon vents to the front wings
As they are bonded to the wings
So fitting the rear vents in carbon may look a bit naff

I know these are BBS wheels but I though Chris Harris’s Touring looked the nuts

That’s it, I’m cancelling. Car has been utterly ruined.
My source has never been wrong before, but was this time, so is now categorised as a ‘Little Player’ alongside me. I feel somehow.. ‘dirty’.
I prostrate myself at the Martini socked feet of the SOA.

I'm pretty sure that's the underside of the Speedster and not the RS..On the Speedster the side mufflers have been totally replaced by the new GPFs..Not the most aesthetically pleasing and compact solution i must admit..however rules are rules which are not Porsche's fault.

That’s the underside of a speedster so still not completely conclusive regarding the RS. I wonder why they have added those little Naca ducts to the undertray.

Anyone got a picture of 3rs.2 without the GPF
That looks like a lorry exhaust or was the welder in a hurry to finish

Those NACA ducts must be for downforce as no rear wing also that diffuser has straight thro airways I imagine this creates downforce and stability ?

Won't the GPF have to be close to the cylinder head to get the higher temperatures required for regeneration?
