I think I told you this before (but you did not see it) but that is an insane beautiful combination. Just love it! Can’t wait for the real life pictures.

Love the color and combo. Just wanted to ask about the rear lights. Red and red. I guess you don’t like them smoked?

Wondering about $8k on a car well over $100k remains strange to me (not just you, but regular on this forum). And like Wilder stated when you go for the T package already it’s not much more.

Just to be clear: the centers are not Race-Tex on the T! And you cannot order them. Just the clothed checkered flag (with or without extra T stripes).

I posted a few as well from the car in Rotterdam. Around summer I think.

I did not know the weight difference was that big. lt probably is less. But even so, that is too much I have to agree and regret it for that reason. Would skip on the next one. Even though there are many things I like about it. Can never win from the extra weight though.

Sometimes it’s not clear how many things you can change and make personal. You can have thousands of combinations. Just crazy when you think of it. Love it!

Look for my posts and pictures about the differences. When you keep them standard you will get an (ugly) white/silver upper part. On some colors it doesn’t look bad. But you don’t have the chrome ring which can be a plus.

@Macboy It's actually just Guards Red. Not sure why it looks a bit different in the two pictures I posted. Trick of the light perhaps?

Macboy/Wilder, Sound value economics there but….. Yeah well, my total additions came out to less than $8k on the entire T build, that and the wife likes to buy expensive jewelry now and then, thus sacrifices had to be made! Happy wife, happy life(while driving my T). 🥳

thank you kindly I appreciate it! it’s quite fun but takes quite a while, many weekends spent on layers of glaze and detail.

But I have gotten to glaze pottery with the car I think holds the top sports car spot, the “911”

I appreciate your kind words, It’s as you say, it’s a time consuming process, and an expensive one at that, for the time, matirials, pottery and glaze, running the kiln.. etcetera. So thank you again for your words

They will be no more than 5 thousand. It takes me roughly 30 hours to complete them. The price changes depending on the time and the size of the piece.
If you are interested please send me a private message, and we can work out the details.
How it works are, I need a photo of your car preferably your most favorite or meaningful picture of your car.
Then I pick out a piece of pottery, and if you wish you can pick out of the pieces I can get.
Then I get to work, and after 30 hours I have a beautiful piece of pottery with your car! Then I fire it in a Kiln and will ship it out. Shipping is included, with insurance.
Gross receipts are also included, in the price.
Here are the two I have sold.

I receive a photo of the car. One that you or anyone took that you want imortalized in pottery.

This is the finished product of one, before I had it fired.

This is the finished product

Interesting hobby and if you can charge for it . . . would be unwise not to $-]

I made that mistake. In retrospect I wish I would have done it. I also didn't realize it includes the sport design sills that I added anyway.

@anjizkit
I’ll take a few more pics and send them privately.
TBH the interior is standard for a UK Carrera T (we get leather dash and doors as standard) apart from GT Silver inlays and the Matt black PPF’d centre console.

just ran the video, the sills are a nice extra flare I didn’t see till you mentioned it. I see where the $2k goes now. 🤔

Thought PTS lava orange lol. Probably just the camera. I have guards red so should usually recognize my own color.

Of course. It was not intended as a judgement of any kind. All good and clear.

@Macboy How many total miles (or KM's) are you at right now in your T?
At a guess I'd say you must hold the world record for miles achieved in a 922 Carrera T?
I imagine @Pivot is giving you a run for your money! ??

It's not uncommon. There are many instances where Guards Red has been mistaken for Lava Orange and vice versa. GR is an orangish red and LO is a reddish orange.
