Default New guy, new car. . .

Picked up my first Porsche last month at Zuffenhausen. 2011 C2S Cabrio, nothing spectacular option wise, but I like it

Few shots - also had another forum member install PPF for me this last weekend.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! Love the two-tone full leather interior and the wheels. Thanks for the pics also.

White is right!!! Nice looking car and the Porsche lettering on the windstop is sharp.

Thanks, the Porsche lettering was actually a mistake from lack of research when I ordered the car. . . I thought I was paying $225 for the windstop, not $225 for the lettering on a standard windstop

Congratulations on a beautiful car and welcome to the forum! Those shots of the Schillerplatz and Alte Schloss are familiar to me having picked up Porsches in Stuttgart on more than one occasion. Being in Germany, you're fortunate to be able to pick up a car at the factory with much less travel. Enjoy it!

Very nice! I see that you are applying a clear bra. Is that also popular in Germany? What product did you use? 3M?

Thanks Mike, luckily I did not have to travel far at all. . . I actually had a bit of a delivery nightmare with some alternator / ECU problems on delivery day. Porsche more than made up for it with a loaner "Exclusive" Targa 4S that they let me drive to Hamburg while they fixed the issues. Two tone cocoa / natural. . . very very nice interior. . .

The clear bra is VenturShield. . . I don't know a lot about it, but had to go that route to cover the full frunk, I guess the 3M stuff isnt big enough to cover it without leaving a line.

You're kidding right? That two-tone interior alone qualifies as spectacular to me and with the white and those wheels and it's a cabrio and an S....and a Porsche. That's got spectacular written all over it. But your modesty is classy and noted.

The car is beautiful - but that Targa gives it a run for the money.

Congrats.

Thanks much, I am completely new to this forum, the guy that fixed me up with the clear bra is a GT3 RS owner and pointed me here.

As for "nothing spectacular" - no power pack, sport exaust, pdk, PCCB etc. . . got the comfort stuff instead Full leather, bose, heated / cooled seats / wheel etc haha.

The car is beautiful. I notice that the right side mirror has the warning message - I thought that was just a US spec??

It's US spec, I'm American, just live and work here in Stuttgart

I did replace the orange side reflectors already though. . .
