I used all new Porsche OEM parts so the cost was high even though my local Porsche dealer gave me wholesale prices. Just for the major parts and painting it was around $7500 (including painting by a Porsche certified body shop). I did all the fitting and modifing the air ducts prior to painting, the bodyshop did final installation. I also had quite a time finding the parking sensor brackets as the 911R and GT3 bumpers do not have parking sensors. Probably $200 for parts and having the bumper drilled by the body shop as it takes a special tool for the parking sensor holes. I would take a guess there was about $500 of other misc parts.

Your paint looks a lot like mine, I think you may have Carrara White metallic.
There is a way to tell, the paint code is listed in your Maintenance booklet, my paint code is S9R and I have the white metallic..
You may be able to run your Vin number as an alternate method.
Your car looks nice.

I would say Carrara White (looks like a twin to my GTS). I would presume you work in finance with that plate..

Recently took delivery of this Carmine Red 991.1 GTS. Mods are Akrapovic exhaust, Vorsteiner rear diffuser and Eibach lowering springs. The car is amazing and the sound emanating from the rear with that exhaust is an adrenaline rush. Next mod is sport cats, 991.2 steering wheel and CarPlay.

I dont know about you guys but I often forget hw Lucky I am to own this .1 GTS.. until a thread like this is revived.

There is a 911 trim out there for everyone, but this .1 N/A GTS is something special. Call it the sweet spot, the darling or last of the Carrera N/As in its most evolved form, the driving experience of this car is just plain spectacular.

Enjoy in good health All

Well said. And I agree with your thoughts on the brilliance of the PDK in auto mode. My GTS is PDK and I find myself speeding in my GTS more than I speed in my GT3 Touring, even though the Touring is objectively the faster car. And although very different, the exhaust in the 991.1 GTS is equal to that of the 991.2 GT3.

Agreed and might I add, that is high praise coming from someone who can experience both.
