Thanks Sands. Yeah, from the looks of all the avatars and pix I've seen so far on Rennlist I thought I was the only one. Nice to know there are a few of us!

On the other hand, I doubt any one here who has earned the means to obtain a Porsche is a weak willed conformist. So I'm proud to be an "original" (pun intended) amongst many originals.

And thanks for the wheel crest suggestion.

Great looking Targa. I thought about one instead of my 4S coupe when ordering, but decided against the chrome strip and possible rattles.

Maybe next time... but yours sure is a looker.

BTW - What Audis do you own? My wife just upgraded from her A6 4.2 to S6 5.2. She really loves the roar of that engine.

Sharp looking car and thanks for the pics! BTW, is it just me or is the 'Targa 4S' script on the lid noticeably crooked? In the two pics of the rear-end at different angles, the script definitely appears slanted upward from left to right.

Clear side markers look so much nicer and cleaner.
There's no other orange on the car. It just looks awkward in my opinion.
Beautiful car. Congrats.

Great car...enjoy. Since you asked, however, I would 1000% put the clear markers back on the car. The yellow ones really are a distraction.

jyslou

Never asked, but thank you for the suggestion anyways. I think the amber gives the front some needed color or it becomes too bland. So yes, I like the "distraction" as you put it. And in most light, amber does go with the gold crest. So we'll just agree to disagree for now.

I have a Meteor Gray C2S coupe, and for now I have chosen to keep my amber side markers also.

Thank you. I have the B6 S4 in silver and my wife has a pristine original TT 225 in silver. The S4 is my tank and the TT is my wife's pride and joy. She is a designer and thus has a love for the original TT's bauhaus influence. I bought her that car as a birthday gift. She learned to drive manual with it. We can't even consider talking about upgrading it.

The S6 5.2 v10 is a beast! Love it!

Good catch! I can see that now too. Hmm, very weird. Must be the Nikon lens distortion playing tricks with the angle. But the lens is the new 35mm prime DX so I'm surprised...

Here's some other shots of the rear sig. They look square in these.

Whoa ... so these really do exist??!!!!

Ha! I thought the exact same thing...

Not even for a TT-S or better yet an upcoming TT-RS?

OK, since you invited other photos, here is my T4S, GT Silver, Champion RG5B wheels, clear side markers, removed rear script. I would have preferred your color, but am happy with the GT Silver too. Enjoy!

The 4S looks square, but not the targa script, and I think that's what he's referring to.

It's clearly slanting upward from left to right, by about 2° from horizontal.

Have the dealer reset it.

KeninBlaine

Or better still, remove it.
