The police would not pull you over in the UK for taking the wing off. In fact I suspect most coppers wouldn’t know if it should have a wing or not.

You can get away without having a front plate, so wing is of little concern
Its pure idiocy to take the wing off the 992GT3 after all the thousands of hours of development AP and team have done. If you hate the wing don't buy the winged GT3 in the first place, instead buy the Touring.
In terms of no plate, well i was given a £80 FPN by the plod on my old GT3 which is why i now use a stick on.

I agree with this, but my concern is that when ever I had put a new car on cover the insurance co asked the question any modifications. These calls are recorded if there was a accident and it was found out that the wing had been removed not sure how this would sit with the insurance co, unless it’s been prior accepted.
Most people do not realise that some simple, modest modifications can affect their policy.
changing wheels, adding decals as examples.

And of course different insurance companies have different rules...

So by getting confirmation of any mods and paying the extra premiums is what needs to be done.

It amazes me that we as car enthusiasts come here loving cars, letting others know our personal likes and dislikes, only for some to jump down our throats and tell you you're wrong!

I like the 992 GT3 with the wing and without the wing, and as an owner I will get to choose which way I go....
And that's, that!

I hope everyone enjoys the car the way they want to.

Agreed, you should always submit your intended mods to insurers.

Got me thinking to change to Neodyme now! My car is identical except for yellow deviated stitching and normal rear light

I think Meissen Blue looks like a massive Viagra tablet with nasty contrast wheel stripes.
Do they both help extend the penis ?
Funny you should liken them, and openly share on a forum but if it works for you I day go for it

IMO Crayon needs Neodyme coloured wheels given the slight brownish tone

Is it me, or does Crayon look different now? It looks ‘greyer’ without that hint of beige? Might just be my eyes….

That looks darker than Crayon - may be the light, but in the US Crayon is called Chalk - a very pale grey, with a cream tint that can give it the beige hue people mention.

That looks closer to Nardo Grey to my eyes.

Could just be the camera settings…does look lighter to me than it normally does. I see a brown tint when I see a car painted in Crayon

Here’s a still from a video with a Macan in Crayon and a GT3 in Sports Classic Grey

Could be just the gold walls throwing the light away from the Crayon, thought the Neodyme works well with the yellow callipers and Crayon works so well with the black accents.

In case I do not get a PTS slot for my Touring (despite my OPC being positive it will work out) Atlas is the way to go for me. Looks great to my eyes
