I think they look great but I am biased of course, I think the 5 spoke fuchs style work on almost any color of 911

@reddysum I'm expecting some production pics from you ASAP lol... If I remember correctly your build started last week, so they should have something for you today or tomorrow.

I think those wheels look great on any color. The only reason I didn't go with them was because I wanted to stick with the T theme.

Did you get the aero kit approved?

I think I saw painted front lip is a delay. That's maybe what did it.

Yup. Knock wood! My order was initially submitted in October, officially submitted 12/23 and then for some reason TYD shows it accepted as 1/24, before the 1/26 stop-sale date. WHEW! I will not be taking the car w/o it.

Good catch... I remember seeing this as well. @adm63 did your production pic include the front lip already painted?

EDIT* Nevermind, went back and looked, I do not see your fully painted front lip attached yet, so I'm sure thats what ended up pushing it back a week

The sales manager there was incredibly friendly and emailed me back immediately and confirmed that the car in the video is their "Demo" 992 C2 and it is in fact NOT Neo... He said, "I emailed Porsche UK to confirm the build sheet is accurate, and the demo we have on site is PTS Rubystar". He is taking some more pics and emailing over to confirm the build sheet and to share the color, which he said is similar "But Neo will be darker".

The WAIT continues!
Well done on that and sorry guys for the duff info. What is it they say about assumptions? . When I started to go through their Facebook page and noted it was fitted with winter tyres I was starting to have doubts as it's not something typically done on Porsche demos registered in February. The demo was first registered in November 2022 and according to the DVLA (driver & vehicle licensing agency) database is "pink"

If you receive a build spec or Porsche code from them do you mind posting it or PM me as it's a bit off topic! Thanks

What does that approval look like? Did your SA confirm it?

It's a nice build and has nothing controversial about it IMHO. My current Taycan is Gentian Blue, and it's my 2nd choice after Shark Blue.

The major delta between my build and yours (besides color) is I'm on Team Burmester. [PPBD4HC6]

I'm in a loaner Macan with base audio this week, and I just can't get over the lack of crispness to music. I would much rather save $4K and get BOSE as a "good-enough" option, but in the absence of that option, I feel I'd grumble more over the next 2-3 years about audio quality than spending $5K.
