Default My GT4 has arrived

Hi everyone. I'm very new to this site so let me introduce myself, my name is Alex and I've just received my 718 GT4 Black with Aurum wheels. I just arrived back from Germany on a business trip so I need to self-quarantine for 14 days Unhappy . So, my baby is waiting for me at Porsche Cape Town ready for collection once I'm allowed to leave my home.

I see that some of my exhaust videos have been already posted on this site under the “another exhaust sound data point.” Just to let you know, I’ve bought the Motorsport Schmid Racing Switch exhaust and once it arrives, I will release some videos. I’m very curious to see what it will sound like with our EU4 OPF filter, which I’m sure America will be getting too. I will keep you all posted. Cheers for now.

Looks great - congrats! The self quarantine will give the ceramic coating time to cure properly. Enjoy in good health when you can - that goes for everyone right now.

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love how the gold wheels pop on Black! I do not understand why they were not available for the Spyder.

I saw it there, looks great.
Let me know if you want me to take Delivery on your behalf :P
My Miami Blue GT4's ETA is next week, will stare at it in my garage for a few days before sending it for a full wrap with the Dutchman.

Let me know when you're ready for that photoshoot.

I think I'll take delivery myself, thank you very much . Let me know when your baby is finished with the Dutchman, want to show Rennlist a perfect exhaust comparison with yours and my Schmid exhaust....when it finally arrives.

Phew. I ordered the same black + gold color combo and was a bit worried how it would look. But this looks great. Yay.
I also ordered yellow interior accents to go with it...

Would love to but my baby and myself are in self-quarantine and my country is on lockdown. Be safe!

Congrats! My wife and I stayed at a hotel just around the corner from there a few months back and had a fantastic time in SA!
