The vents and the uprights are taped with black tape.

Fantastic! Proves that that part needs to be painted. Looks so much better that way.

It's a black wrap. You may remember the pics of the car with the door open and you could see the Lava Orange in the door sills.

Yep, as is the rest of the car.

I think the white does look great and very Motorsport! That pic of the front 3/4 view should say "Livery Wanted". Someone who wants to look like they're driving a race car on the street, White RS is perfect. For someone who wants a really nice sporty looking street car, any other color of their choosing will be excellent. Let's call it Mr. Hyde and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll was left back at Zuffenhausen

I'm getting a white one but since it's going to be tracked a lot I'm going to wrap it. Black is definitely one of the options for me. It looks really good in black.

do you know the price of PTS in your Country (Germany if I remember well)?in Italy for example it costs about 4200 euro and that includes the 22% of VAT.

I live in Sweden. I do not know what the price for PTS is here.
Maybe I should check it out

Just fyi, all those RS testmules are painted in one of the four "regular" colors. The black is just a wrap.

If you were spec'ing your RS and you were trying to stick to a budget limit, which of the three options would you choose and which would you live without? 1. full leather 2. front lift 3. extra charge colour. This assumes you could drive without the lift but it would be less stressful. Or would you just stick with a GT3 with lift and full leather.

Everyone's order of importance will be different, but I would prioritize 1) Colour 2) Leather 3) Lift. The extra ground clearance is going to make the lift much more optional this time around.

If you have a budget limit, then you probably shouldn't be worrying about buying an RS.

Much less spec'ing it out to your own, ahem, specs.

Would drop in order:
(1) Extra charge colour
(2) full leather
(3) lift.

I have a 997.1RS with no lift and had a 7.3RS with lift. Had six splitters on the 7.1, none on the 7.2. My 991RS has a lift on the spec.
