Has anyone seen this colour beside a Lapiz Blue Golf R? On screen the colours look very similar - it is a beautiful colour and I like the way it has hues of purple in some light.

That does still look great. Do you have PPF or a ceramic coating on it?

Finalized our development of the GPF deletes as well as the valvetronic setup for our GT4! WOW . That's the best way to put it. I personally had some seat time with this setup as we caravan'd to upstate NY. You can still chat on the phone, listen to music, have a conversation with the person in the passenger seat. Check out the video we put together of our setup and let me know if you have any questions!

Yes its close, I have a Golf R Lapiz Blue and my SA was steering me towards GB but went Miami Blue because of it. I was with a GB GT4 today its a darker blue than than LB Golf R but in the same colour range. But dang that GB is classy much prefer it on the the GT4 than the 992 I first saw it on. I would have done the GB if I did not have the R in the stable it looks amazing!!!

I have a lapiz 7R daily driver and am doing gentian for my GT4 (?because I'm boring?). Unfortunately I still have about 3 months before its delivered and can do a side-by-side.

FWIW Lapis on my BoxsterS. Afternoon sun N. Hemisphere, in low light at low sun angles it takes on a purplish cast. I also went with Gentian Blue for my GTS 4.0. Love the Porsche blues.

Lighting. It’s a deep solid blue. But it’s not as dark as the older night metallic blue. In good lighting is is a very bright hue.

Looks like leather paint or tape.

Actually it looks like an Alcantara wheel to me... IIRC that was also the only way to get deviated stitching. Assuming we are talking about the pictures in post 476
