Seems almost all GT4s have wing supports in black... mine included (car is colour sapphire blue). Free option on spec sheet of course.

Starting to think I prefer the platinum colour. Makes the skeletal aspects stand out more, which I think adds "drama" to the look. Might have them changed at OPC.

Views? Anyone have pics of the platinum colour wing supports on blue?

I think they were all black due to a quality control issue...

Certainly for me anyway, I ticked the silver/platinum wing support option and ended up with black.

Yes, both colors where options in the first year or so, then only black.

Do the silver/platinum wing supports match the platinum colour wheels?

Looks to me like the colour is lighter than the wheels, which would be a shame.

The silver supports are much lighter than the Satin Platinum wheels. They'd possibly be a good choice with silver wheels, but less so with either black or the Satin Platinum IMO.

And yes, early on in the GT4's lifecycle the standard spec was with the wing supports in silver, and in black being a no-cost option, but the silver ones were removed from the spec altogether in late summer 2015 I think.

I've just purchased a Sapphire blue GT4 with silver wing supports.

Considering changing them to black. Just wondered if anyone had gone ahead with the colour change and if it was an easy job to remove the wing supports and then put them back on?
