I might create a shadowbox with them and pictures of the trip.

Do more European Deliveries and keep lining the plates up in the wall of the garage. I have done five (2 Porsches and 3 BMWs) and cherish each of them!

Why not...Come on down!

the three greens that are similar to each other is 225 Viper, 22"s" new signal, and D28 Green. When you see them side by side you can see a real difference.

Yes, that is so true. I am pretty sure 'Viper' has a bit more yellow tint than my 22S 'Signal Green'...although not as much as my older W25 'Signal Green' 997!

Yes, including the 'Signal Green' from the honorary Canadian in Carmel!

Congratulations! Glad your car made it home. Definitely please let me know if you're planning on driving through Vancouver. I would love to see your car. Likewise, if I'm heading to Calgary, I'd be happy to meet up there too. I hope you don't mind.

That's great that it's finally home. We'll have to get together.

Perhaps I missed something... why would you expect this damage?

Not really. The car is no longer theirs so it gets shipped naked. no plastic paint protection.

I asked my dealer, "will they remove the front lip spoiler for shipping?"
Their comment "yes, of course"

well when I did the drop off I asked and they said "no, we know what we are dealing with"

so I had the expectation of damage. I'm grateful it was limited to spoiler and swirled paint.

My BMW M5 was also damaged after euro delivery upon arrival home
If my 991 arrives next week damaged, I won't do euro delivery again
Not worth it if damage is so common
