I am so jealous Paul. You have the same car I have on order, only mine will have the clubsport pack.. If it ever gets built that is??

Hopefully meet up with you some day on a club event or track day?

Congratulations Paul. Great looking car, and a nice review. I assure you, you will get so addicted to the car as you drive it more and get to experience the 9000 RPM shifts. The Michilen Cups grip is not the best in the rain, but outstanding in the dry so you got to be very careful when the roads get soaked. Using winter tires on this car transforms this car to an able beast during wet weather and the wet handling is excellent. So if you plan to drive the car during winter or wet weather invest in another set of winter tires or even Michilen Super sports or Perilli Zero tires. Enjoy the car. Mark

If you look closely you can compare the standard "White" with "M1 Rain White"

Well done for trying out something new.
Don't know whether it's the angle of the picture or the addition of the stripes but the aesthetics of the car height seems to change and it makes it look much higher of the ground. Not too keen on it.
Just my 2p.

I think it breaks up the expanse of white on the side of the car and actually makes it look lower. Everyone will see them differently I guess! They are an official Tequipment item, only endorsed for 991 GT3.

I like the stripes and will probably place them on my car along with the center black motorsport stripe just to keep it different! Great look!

Only endorsed for GT3 eh?? That would have doubled the price then!!

Thanks for the explanation Paul, appreciated.
How's the car handling London streets? Am thinking more about speed bumps around Swiss Cottage / St.Johns Wood.

that center stripe looks really good IMO... probably could do with either the side stripes or the top one, but not both?

is that top stripe something which is purchased from Porsche (at massive and absurd cost I'm sure) and then applied after the fact.. or is it under the clearcoat?
