I should qualify that the list I was given is from Dec 10. I suppose there could be updates since then but I haven’t asked.

Out of interest, was “grey black” (7A1) on the list per chance?

That was my first choice to match my RS and I didn’t see it, this was about 6 months ago.

7A1 Greyblack (grauschwarz) was added in the latest update. It was not on the previous list I had from Sept 2020.
Love greyblack!!!

Now this is a really issue for me. Grey black was my first choice, but settled for slate grey. Furthermore, I wanted European delivery and those have been cancelled till June...

Do I take 2nd best (slate grey), or take a chance and try to find another PTS allocation later in the year for my first choice and also get ED? Dammit..

^ skafia & GT4MF: sorry to bear the “bad” news. I too love Greyblack along with other colors that were not on the list...

I’d say delaying and waiting is quite risky at this point, but obviously maybe your dealer can shed light on how realistic it is to push it off for a new build slot.

Depending on how long your order has been “fixed” - I’d also suggest asking your dealer to push your request up the ‘food chain” to their zone rep (or whomever they ask) to see if your color can be changed. The worst they say is no. It is possible to have some change after a build is fixed, but each case is different, and I suspect a color change is a LOT more difficult than something equipment related (like seats or PCCB) but worth asking.

Good luck!!

Does anyone know if Arrow Blue is approved for the 718 Spyder? I know it has been used on the GT3 but I don’t have access to any official list. Thanks.

Yes Arrow Blue pfeilblau is on the list for 718 - code is 305 arrowblue for 718 (5WB for 992).
I see it listed on the September PTS list and the December PTS updated list, so it’s been approved for at least a few months.

I almost wish I didn’t know that now I think an Arrow Blue Spyder would look amazing. Once I secure an allocation perhaps I’ll pester the dealer about the possibility of PTS!

My order was fixed yesterday so I doubt I can change it. I’m not too upset as any PTS GT car is a gem anyway. Thank you for the info!
