Ah, thanks mate! Don't know whose the R was - it was parked up at the Oulton Park Gold Cup and my son insisted on a cheeky photo.

Zyp's new wheels look good and I think the black ones look better in real life than on an average iPhone picture but I'm quite happy with my silver ones even if they do take a bit of cleaning.

As for the roof jibes...

[Zyp]

I also think the black looks good, if getting a little to ubiquitous.

I just fancied a change - although for some reason the black wheels on a Spyder seem to make the car look lower that it actually is.
My new colour doesn't seem to do that.

[rob.kellock]

The black wheels certainly make the cars look quite different.



The best thing about Zyp's colour is that they look good when full of brake dust - it amazes me when I wash my wife's Abarth and you realise how dirty they are even when they look OK from 6 feet away.

I've been thinking of having my wheels painted Black. I recon they would look great with the Guards red

But cmoose I think you have made a very good point and have given me pause for though

[Zyp]

I nearly bought a red one but the deal wasn't right.
I'd have had the wheels done black as well.

Think the satin platinum would look good with red.

[rob.kellock]

They are not factory style though - missing the silver rim and grey innards.

as a few here know, I bought mine with the black wheels - which look great - but I wanted unique - so painted them RS WeissGold - very happy with the results - pretty subtle.....

Great looking Spyders fella's
just a quick question, does any know the colour code for the grey wheels? I'm having my Cayman wheels refurb'd and want them done in a darker colour, than the standard silver.

Really appreciate any quick replies as i looking to get them done in the next day or so

Have you got a pic side on?

[Siy]

sure - here's one.... They are subtle enough not to stand out too much - its the RS gold colour so hopefully not too maxpower!!! I had the plastic trims around the air vents, and the lower arm of the mirrors done too.

[Siy]

and the badge...! That's it - no more.. I promise!!!

[Zyp]

Yes, very subtle.

The platinum on my wheels is also an incredibly close match to the surrounds you've had painted.

[Siy]

I thought the platinum looked great - to be honest , I wasn't sure when you mentioned it beforehand....just thought they may look like covered in brake dust...but they look terrific...!

(I must be getting old...where did I get terrific from?)

[SFO]

any one with a Spyder without the side decals?

There was one for sale some time ago - took a long time to sell.

I think they look a bit bland without the decals.

Hi Rob, the Caymans mine mate, not been on this sub-thread until earlier and recognised car in photo straight away!!
Noticed a couple of clean Spyders.
Cracking day laid on by Porsche and some great racing on track with fantastic weather!!

[rob.kellock]

Don't know whose the other Spyder was either!

Was back there yesterday on the PCGB track day - weather not quite so glorious but at least you get to go round the track! There were 5 Cayman Rs there which I thought was a lot.
