guards red with black wheels. look at the gt3 advertisment at porsche. guards red. one will never tire looking at a red porsche. white is a fad that is already going out of style. don't go there. my 74 is guards red an I still love the color and turn heads!

Sorry, didn't see your last post. great choices much like my07. i would recommend the best headlights. they are amazing at night, well worth the price. i got red stiching on the doors but forgot the panals behind the seats. wish i had ordered red on the panals.

^ thanks. I got a heads up on the rear quarter panels and the door handles for the deviating stitiching. The light headlamps are worth about 12 kg. in weight savings and since I do more track than night driving opted for the plain halogen instead of the xenon.

i have put my head around this alot.... and in the end it comes back cream white.

some of the new "flat" colors are fun as well as some of the brights...... but the cream white is fitting for a street version of the track car..... (better then the old carrara white too)

I also like cream white but I think it would look better with carrera red interior rather than black.

Saw a cream white GT3.2 at the Ring this week. Pictures. Clearly stands out from the ubiquitous Carrara white seen on too many mk1s, but I am not sure it's in a good way. Also saw a red one.
All 5 mk2 present at the Manthey racing had the light weight headlights option.

I already cast my vote for my October build. Basalt Black with deviating color, artic silver wheels.

I have the B/B on my C2S and it is really no trouble to maintain. Not a daily driver mind you.

That said I have until Jid july to change my mind, and I've been thinking.............................

It was an option I believe, mine does not have Xenon.

Cast my vote for Arctic Silver on my August build order (but still thinking about Meteor Gray). Love GT Silver, but not $3K more!

Default Colours, this is getting quite difficult and it's not just me

Or you really have b*****ks and order your new car in your favorite colour and get it wrapped asap in your second favorite colour when it arrives!


Why? Because in a year or so when you get bored and really wished you'd had your 1st choice you just peel off and you get exactly that, in perfect condition, like new, because of the protection gained (not as much protection as clear bra, the wrap is thinner)

So I'm very tempted to go for Riveria Blue but I love white so....... my choice

Expensive, but so hot:

Factory colour: Riveria Blue

Wrapped Colour: Carbon White Graphic (you have got to see this) WITH Martini strip or other decals

Two cars in one....................................

But the Red would be nice...... and it's free and there is no hold up on PTS......... mind flat Black would be wicked........... oh I give up, it's just too much!!!LOL

Why not order it in white and wrap it Riveria Blue - cheaper and no wait!
