Thanks - I’ve heard nothing - my Spyder arrived in October - have sent OPC an email just in case smile
No problem. You can put your VIN in here as a check too I think:

Were you there Thurs / very early Friday? - I collected at 10am Friday.

The black GT4 I saw the previous Sat had yellow PCCB’s and yellow contrast stitching (including in all the optional places), assumed it was the same one on Friday but looks like a different one from the stitching in your pic.

Looks like our OPC had a few GT4’s going out.

I visited Wednesday afternoon. They didn't have any others about when I was there that I noticed. But had a lot sports cars in which was a nice change

Very good of you thanks.

Guess they would be pretty negligent if they didn’t do a quick recall as the risk seems to be a fire!! So what compensation are they offering ?
Good one! I insisted quite strongly and wasn't even given a courtesy car. Very poor indeed

Hatfield car is now on AUC site. I know lots of people love Crayon but it looks to have a brown tint to me.

Mine is guards, platinum wheels, steel brakes, clubsport, 918 buckets and pretty much everything else. I’m over the moon with it.
Awesome, very similar to mine except it's RY. You need to host some pics elsewhere and link them here e.g. Flickr or Imgur smile

Or you can just use the integrated "Upload an image (beta)" at the top right when posting a reply...it hosts them on Thumbsnap

Congrats. Guards does look amazing when protected and clean. I have gone for black on black (black calipers) but it was a cancelled order. I think i would have chosen your combo if allowed to choose (as no PTS).

Think mine has arrived at East London and is being prepped (ceramic etc). I am currently selling my GT3 (991.1) so I will be waiting a few weeks anyway.

Not long now!

I love Racing Yellow on a GT4 - It was RY or Black for me... I think Black suits the Spyder better so went with that (and very pleased with the result), but had I gone for a GT4 I think it probably would have been RY.

People seem to like the look of yellow cars but don't want to actually own one as they are very bold/bright. For a GT car it just works, especially on the GT4 shape I think. There's a reason why Porsche use RY on the model page on their website, in the promotional brochures and the press car - it just looks great!

There can never be enough Yellow Porsches in the world IMO.

Saw your black car sat next to a white one last week.
