Do they ship them without the front lip?

The lip is inside the cabin for transport. I was told the first RS cars arrived with the wing in the cabin too, but it seems they arrive assembled now -- perhaps due to the number of damaged or missing items.

I don't want anyone to photoshop the car to predict the black wheels, let's allow Shane his debut. But I have to wonder just how this car will look with an RS wing in CF and black end plates. I wouldn't put the side decals on it. I think the contradiction of a pale sky blue with black wheels and RS wing says "I seduce and then I eat my prey whole and alive." : )

If I ever get an RS, I'd be tempted to go with Riviera ... and having said that, of course my previous decisions were Plain Jane white and Basic black. Who am I kidding? : )

Perhaps in Ireland a no sunroof riviera blue GT3 is easily ordered.

Seems you like the colour.
Paint to sample is available in Europe and we dont have to have the sunroof(not much use for it in N.Ireland).
I have thought about RS wings and I think it would look quite good on this car,I am slightly concerned that the wing might look a little big on the ordinary slim hipped GT3.
What do you think.
Also I haven't seen any RS wings for sale.

It would make a great photo op for you to meet up with a green RS, and a speed yellow RS, and an orange RS, and perhaps a white RS. Shades of the original Porsche IROC series from 1973!

Default Actual colour is Mexico Blue...

Car looks awesome but I think this is Mexico Blue not Riviera Blue. I wish more would come in this colour. Now I want to see a signal green!

Shane:

AWESOME color!

Does anyone know if paint to sample for a GT3 is available in the US?
