Default Old question of colour

I'm in the process of ordering a new tts. I have had five black Porsches on the spin. I obviously love black cars, they look great, but mostly only for a few days after cleaning. This time I'm very seriously considering a GT Silver. I think it suits the car especially with the turbo s wheels.

Does anyone have any negative experiences with this colour? I'm hoping it will look clean for longer, not show marks as easily, stone chips etc. If I have this colour the air intakes will be painted high gloss black as will the lower door mirrors. I was also thinking of having the rear wing in black?

I would stick with the black but this time have a full Suntek clear wrap to protect it. No swirls / film is self healing and you get to keep the baddest colour in the world!

Love mine. I do think it would look good with black accents, like on the painted aerokit.

I think the car looks awesome in GT Silver. It's my favorite color after the brighter blues.

I am going to agree, GT Silver is a great choice. The silver helps to accentuate the body lines on the Turbo while the black tends to hide them a bit. Plus, the contrast between the silver and black accents makes for a very modern feel.

I have always preferred GT Silver... in addition to the practicality of it. Congrats on the awesome car...
