Sweet *** color, I was this >< close to ordering my PTS GTS in Acid Green... But Riviera Blue won out

 

Picked up my "new" GTS, with a couple of minor nits- and one nice surprise. The previous owner put 175 miles and in that time managed to curb both drivers side wheels. Front which had the majority was refinished flawlessly the rear wheel which was very minor was "touched up" not refinished. I decided to live with it as it's on the edge and roughly a quarter of an inch. The only other nit is a tiny cut in the paint on the lower front wheel well, honestly looks like it may have occurred when the shipping covering was removed. Again super small and these are cars after all. The nice surprise- the previous owner purchased pre paid maintenance a terrific and an unexpected gift!

On to a couple of quick pics - I'll take better over the weekend!

 

I don't think that color would be one for me to own, and my wife would certainly frown, but it certainly is a great looking car and one that I would love to see once in a while. It's a cool color.

 

Congrats! Did you trade in the olive green spyder?

 

No the Spyder was traded in on my 62 356 S90 Cab

 

Update - dropped DD with my favorite shop for paint correction, front end PPF including mirrors and rear haunches. Nano coat every surface ( paint, glass and wheels) window tint 35 percent side glass and 20 percent rear. Finally adding satin black stone guard to be placed on top of the current clear stone guard. I'll update with progress shots!

 

Oh and on my way to the shop wouldn't you know it a big gravel truck with an unsecured load was spilling gravel all over the interstate ! I don't know how but I managed to avoid any blemish - phew!

 

Absolutely stunning! Love the colour and interior stitching. Have you considered decals down the side? I think your colour would pull it off very well.

 

The before shot.... stay tuned

 

I hadn't...your talking about the "Carrera" script? Would love to see if any one on this thread has seen a modern GTS with it- would like to see it- curious...

 

Here you go...

That is interesting and thanks for not only finding an example but in he same color no less! I'll consider for sure

 

My shop sent me this last night. They have completed the paint correction, PPF, Opti and window tint. They also added a custom stripe ( easily removable if desired) and I think I like the effect.

 

WOW! Excellent color choice! Certainly an attention getting paint option.

 

While I am not usually a fan of stone guards, I really like what they've done. Integrating it into the stripe is a nice effect. It also breaks up the side of the car. Beautiful color and even better with the stripe.
