Not that vivid colors like riv blue, turquise and the likes do not look good on the 997's, but I think they compliment the smaller bodies of the air cooled p-cars very nicely. That being said, I once saw a miata painted with something similar to the riv/turq blue and it looked real nice...but cant ever imagine a farrari or M3 with that shade.
I agree, it looks better on smaller cars, and would be out of place on a modern Ferrari.

Rain gutter delete would be a must as well.
Does anyone have a contact at PCNA that could go up the ladder? Wishful thinking, I know.
The idea of a stock 1,500 kg air cooled 3.8 Turbo putting out 475 HP (125 HP/L same as the Euro S) I drool at the thought.

I would order a Riviera blue regular 993 RS. syandard bodykit, with the leather Reacro buckets and no additions.(e.g. leccy windows. a/c etc...keep it forever...
I don't know if you saw it but one of the 41 rhd Uk 993 RS cars with a genuine 2000 miles, recently came on the market, as new as you are likely to find....it sold within 24 hours of being on sale!

A 993 GT2 in turquoise blue or riviera blue with a black interior would float my boat pretty damn well.

I did say riv blue might be out of place on a modern Ferrari, but not on the classic race models!

since Turquoise was a no cost standard color in 96, i'm amazed at how few of them i see.
I think that Turquoise is a "bitch'n" color.
My ideal car would be little different than yours with the exception of Either Iris Blue over grey or Arena Red over grey M003 RS.
As cool as the Turbo variants are................. their aural signature doesn't do it for me
be safe

When I did up my '74 widebody 3.5L car in '96 I saw a Turquoise Blue Boxster, and immediately knew that was the color for it. Except that Buckler was just starting to run similar on his race car. Was going to be a bit odd to show up at the track looking like a Fanboi................
