Default Finally.

Not at GT car, but after 188 days of waiting I finally got my Fashion Grey C4S.

Thanks to everyone on this tread, especially Wolfmobil. The colour is gorgeous in person. Photos don't capture it but here's a quick one I took when I picked it up…



PS: couldn't get a pic next to Chalk, but will post if I ever do.

That purp glow from the LED lights is money! The blacked out LED package must option. Enjoy.

Yep, black headlights, tinted taillights, and clear side markers. : ) Thanks.

Beautiful car. Your car could be faster than the new GT3 so doesn't matter if it is or is not a GT car.

Is this Viridian Green? and a sample actually provided by Porsche?

Yes, this is an actual PTS sample 'figurine' provided by PAG.
But it is NOT 'Viridian Green', color code Y89. Instead,
it is 'Emerald Green Metallic'/'Smaragdgrün Metallic',
color code 2G6.

I first posted this figurine here:

And here is one of their photos:

And that looks more like the color of mine
'Nardo Gray' 2016 RS7!

*******************************************



Puf: I didn't know there was a 'Wailing Wall' in the US?
Where? At PCNA headquarters in Atlanta, GA? We know
they have one in Zuffenhausen, which was not there when
I last visited in July of 2015, but which was put up shortly
after that! Here is what that looks like:

What I do know is that PAG has sent to their 'Porsche
Exclusive' offices (Atlanta & Los Angeles), and perhaps
their 'Exclusive Flagship Dealers' all throughout the US,

http://www.porsche.com/usa/accessori...stomerservice/,

a set of shapely vehicle props in the various PTS approved
colors. Here is what these figurines look like:





*

Before this development, PAG had a limited selection
of PTS color samples on display at some locations like
Zuffenhausen. Here is a photo of such a room display
that I took on my July 2015 visit:



***

So, regarding PTS, Porsche is taking a few steps forward (above)
and some backwards (below), like the senseless restrictions on
us posting here on Rennlist the approved PTS color list (warning
in place since 7/2015)!

Photo was provided to me by friend & Rennlister
Keadog from Ohio. It was sent to him by someone
at 'Porsche Exclusive' in Atlanta.

Just stopping by to say what an amazing thread <3mph has created here!

I've recently ordered a 718 Cayman S (so have no business posting ) but I was led here via image searches as I've specced Crayon paint. I've always liked Fashion Grey without knowing the history or even knowing the proper name before and I'm pleased to see that Crayon is fairly close to it.

Some unbelievable cars on show here (that Nardo Turbo is ridiculous) so keep the pics coming for us budget Porsche owners to admire

Cheers

Si

Thanks for the compliment and for all the contributions from the RL community. I'm glad you found this thread useful. BTW, it seems like a number of the earlier images have disappeared from some of the posts. I'm not sure if the moderators can help out here to restore them. If not, I will try to re-link these images.
