It's not "hating" to point out facts. I own and have owned several high end watches. I could not care less how a man spends the money he has earned.

To that effect, I applaud this guy's *****. Short of a true PTS, I cannot think of a better way of getting the paint color he wanted. The RS is not a holy relic.

I like how it turned out, actually surprised how good it looks.

It's a shame we can't do true PTS anymore given the short time-frame the factory gives us these days.

This dude has achieved the ultimate expression of what we all hope to get by speccing our own cars, especially with PTS.

Bravo to him.

wtdoom, is the color McLaren's volcano orange? The reason I ask is the color model he's holding in the second photo is the exact same shape McLaren use to show off their colors. Plus it looks to be a very close match to VO. I like it and it's a popular color for McLaren's.

No matey , it's not volcano orange . It's a completely unique colour actually named "worrange" it pops more than volcano. The shape he is holding is something used by some paint shops here in the uk to show curves etc at the beginning of the colour selection process

Thanks for info. I like it. Probably why the guys in Woking use the same shape!!

That car makes no sense to me. If I had all of the money in the world, I wouldn't do that.

Default Colour

I personally love just the simple fact that someone is willing to go and just do what they want no matter what it costs. Kudos to the owner and awesome colour

I really love to know what this cost. I'm not a fan of the color but its not my car. I give him credit to doing it.
