Paint To Sample Birch Green Cayman GT4

[ChapmanC]

Hello all,

Been on here for a good couple of years and have done a few previous threads but I do tend to change my cars very very frequently so haven’t updated for a while. My new business which I started last year has picked up more than I’d ever imagined. This time last year I was driving a Megane RS250 so things have definitely escalated rapidly and I am forever grateful to now be able to this, it’s a dream.

So. The car. I sold my 2005 Aston Martin V8 Vantage last week after owning it for 6 months, because once I get an idea in my head, I normally just go and do it ASAP. I couldn’t stop thinking about Cayman GT4’s, well, any GT product Porsche tbh, and being as residuals being crazy strong, it made pretty good financial sense and ended up having a lot of cash left over from the Aston. Result!

I picked this up Monday, and wow... I now “get” this whole Porsche thing and why everyone raves about the GT products.

I’m still pinching myself tbh and can’t quite believe it’s real, but apparently it is. Cannot wait to get some more miles on her and get some track days in. There is a couple things I want do potentially, but nothing major, just enjoy it.

Love the colour! The first time I saw it was only recently on an M2 CS.

Congrats! The green is cracking, a mildly different driving experience from the Aston I suspect

[W00DY]

That looks fantastic! Great spec and I'm sure it drives even better than it looks.

[sutts]

That certainly looks the part! Love the colour and graphics, no-one will miss you coming.

[Meeten-5dulx]

discrete option ticked then!

How long you reckon you’ll be holding on to this?

[Jeff1976]

Superb well done. Obviously a far better business plan than mine ive lost about £50k so far no new car for me as yet

[james6546]

That is absolutely beautiful

[Deerfoot]

Great colour choice. Bravo.

[WokkaWokka]

Mental colour. Amazing car. Colour adds at least 25hp.

[J.R.Slider]

My dream next car in the perfect colour. Looking forward to the updates.

Hi all,

Thank you for such kind comments on the car. I cannot get over the amount of attention it attracts, however I think I’m forgetting it is essentially an aluminous Porsche that’s glow in the dark 😂

Well, first week done with the car, wow, I am impressed. No matter what you’re doing, cruising along, giving it absolute death on a back road, or motorway driving... it’s perfect in all scenarios. I even saw between 35-37mpg on the motorway. Ridiculous.

Met up with my friend today in his new 718 GT4 too.

That is stunning, I love that colour. It’s incredible.

I love the seats too, they’re amazing close up. Enjoy.

Stunning car but I may be bias! How many miles has yours done? I ask as I think 34mpg is about the best I have had from mine and that was a very steady motorway drive. It’s not done 10k yet so guessing it’s still”tight”

I agree great cars they just do everything so well. Apart from slopes/ kerbs/ any type of gradient! I have ramps to get mine up and down my drive!

[Baked_bean]

Congratulations, that is a lovely car and great to see one in that colour. When i saw 'Birch green' i expected something more like Oak green or BRG, the car really pulls it off though.

[SidewaysSi]

I had a GT4 in similar spec - CS, LWBs etc. A very fine car. Mine was in Guards and I thought the attention was a bit much for me but yours must be off the scale..

[Shnozz]

Niiiiice.

Would love to know how you got a lot of cash left over from a 2005 Aston mind! (I might consider the same if so!).

"it made pretty good financial sense and ended up having a lot of cash left over from the Aston. Result!"

[Gad-Westy]

Very cool car. Not many cars would pull that colour off.

How does the paint to sample thing work though? I assumed that would mean you take a sample of something to Porsche and they paint your car that colour but you mentioned there are four this colour in the uk. Just coincidence?

[Its Just Adz]

Damm, brave colour, but hell it works.

Stunning car, great to see it.
