Unfortunately didn't get a PTS slot and wanted the car as early as possible - Oslo is one of my favourite blue's. As is Shark, just was worried that it would become the new Lizard Green of the .2 RS's

But then, as you say, how often are you going to bump into another GT3 never-mind another SB GT3!

I think you picked a very timeless color and kept it classy with the standard taillight!




And with those wheels, it'll look like a beast, even when filthy!

That looks very nice! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful spec. IMHO I will never go with a Black again, had it speced on my'19 Touring and became a slave to it. Sold it in less than 18 months. Agate or Chalk would be my choice. All the best.

Did you correct it and coat it? Short of doing both dark colors will always be a headache if you're OCD.

Topaz Bristol did my RS and as you say they do a brilliant job with no quibble after sales service.

I think once properly ceramic coated, it’s never been an issue for me on any of my other black cars. The brake dust was more of an issue for me on my last GT3 but that was on steels..

Black looks amazing when clean. But same for me. After owning a black M3 I made a promise to myself never again, no matter how good it looks. I was also a slave to it. I am a bit OCD though. I could not handle how it showed every little thing. YMMV.

Well, this thread is a mess now - I changed my spec to Crayon/Chalk with the carbon roof having seen a black car in person :S

Interesting... why?

I too was settled on black a while back but locked in at Chalk.

why aren’t you guys going with fancy colors? I mean chalk and black are nice but they are too bold and fit more to turbo and carrera,

I was so happy with a color ( Gentian Blue ) for months that my chance for PTS went out the window. I then saw Gentian Blue in person and couldn't take the purple hue's.

I could still get a PTS allocation but my dealer told me it would be a 3 month delay. I just don't care that much... and its also a huge premium at $11K.

Chalk looks cool enough as well... and its not like the GT3 WONT be special, regardless of the color its in... so Chalk it is for me.

I saw the carbon roof in person and wanted it, on black its a but too subtle. Hence, Crayon was my next option

For me, its a GT3 and not an RS that it needs to be loud. I’ll be using it for everything and mainly a road car so nice to be semi incognito

Bright striking colours just aren’t my thing
