I remember a lot of talk about this issue a couple of years ago. Was the mystery ever solved? What causes it? Can it be avoided?

So far we have several replies already about this “issue” — can someone just tell me (and others who are part of the community) what this issue is?

It’s not an issue, they disappear.

Big thread when 718 GT deliveries started, then fizzled out.

Still would be nice to know because I don’t see anything beyond those arrows in the picture that looks out of the ordinary because I don’t know what we are talking about. I guess I’ll just go search the archives.

At some point people stopped complaining about the stripes like if Porsche had found a solution.
Probably the guys in Zuffenhausen didn’t explain the trick to the guys in Osnabruck

Look through the grill…it’s the white marks/stripes on the radiator.

My Sep 2020 build had them, then it didn’t

In the US the only optional door pull color is GR—do you have more choices in AU?

I guess it could be CXX door pull but doesn’t look like a CXX build.

This isn’t correct.

In the US there are 5 optional door pull loop colors:
- Guards red
- Shark Blue
- Racing Yellow
- Lizard Green
- Black

This person has a White exterior car. My best guess would be he left the standard Carmine Red door pull loops which come with the leather interior in Carmine Red. This is not a Sonderwunsch build.

Here’s what Guards Red looks like.

These pictures are indoors and highly colored, but here are seat belts in Carmine Red:

Yes, I meant the only optional red since it’s clearly not any of the others.

I agree it’s probably the standard loop.
