Default Took Delivery of my 718 GT4

Just took delivery of my 718 GT4, which happens to be my first porsche! Only took a few quick photos so far. Car just got back from ppf and I'm going to ceramic coat it this weekend. Also love the way Gentian blue looks on this car; typically I don't like blue cars with red accents, but I think it works well with gentian. Really happy with how the car drives so far, can't wait to get it out on the track!

Looks great!
Mine will be very similar.
Blue and red are classic.

Yeah Nick...Blue and Red...terrible spec. Sad to see the F87 go, but on to bigger and better as they say. Other than the wheels...we are pretty much “twinsies”. Hope to have mine next week. Looks great (no bias, lol)!

Nice build. I'm contemplating doing a MB with the same color combo on the inside but it seems to go better with the GB instead of MB.I noticed you have the upper dash in leather option too as I see the deviated stitching on the dash end (or whatever Porsche calls it.) When I select that option, it makes me selecta color for the deviated stitching as I would have assumed it would just come in the same color as the pre-set deviated stitching one would select whether silver, red, or yellow but it let's you pick from the 10 or so stitch colors. Weird because the colors don't match the pre-set deviated stitch colors. Does your match and if so, how did you go about getting matching stitch color when the system forces you to pick different color?

Car looks gorgeous, I feel better and better knowing that I also picked Gentian Blue with black wheels.

halfmonkey, when I specced the car, probably 6-8 months ago, it let me pick guards red extended stitching. I tried doing the same just now and I do not see the option anymore, maybe you need to contact the dealer to do the same now?

Looks fantastic! All of these GT4s are making me second guess ordering a GTS.

Thanks for letting me know. That is interesting that GR is gone as you would think it should be there to match the rest of the deviated stitching in the cabin. Enjoy your car in good health.

Congrats on the new GT4, it looks fantastic.
Love this pic with the E46 M3

How does Gentian look in person?
It really shows well in pics, just wondered how similar it looks in person.
