Default Turbo wheels in Chrome! (low res pic)

As I patiently waited over 5 hours for my repair I happened to notice a slightly used but over sticker 997turbon on the floor. Black with sand beige, and the dealer took the liberty of chroming the wheels. I only had my cell phone so I'm sorry for the low res pic. Enjoy, if chrome is your thing...

Chrome is not my thing, but would be interested on seeing the whole car. Did you get any?

Sorry it was my cell phone and I didn't think to take more pics.

Somehow they sold the yellow one that was used and had no sport chrono!

They keep the door locked on this car in the showroom. I can understand that on a CGT but come on.

Strange that the Porsche dealer does not follow the recommendations from Porsche.

I would have thought it would make the car tougher to sell.

It's also a Tip.
