White was a close second. My third choice was Sapphire. Cheers/BB
Ben. Do you have any knowledge of how many cars those % apply to for 2015my production? Do they include ROW volumes too?

White is a great color but it needs some vinyl rap or at least a stripe with some color. The reason the cup cars are white because it's a great canvas for the racing teams vinyl rap colors. I originally ordered white but switched to black. I think the Martini Porsche colors look great on white and that's what I wanted to do. I still may do it to my black GT3. It seems the Europeans are more open to doing some type of vinyl on their cars.

I might add this stripe in black on my Rhodium Silver with black wheels. Just enough, adds a bit of road rash protection I would think.

It looks pretty good. If martini was willing to pay my annual insurance, I would consider it.
