Default Turbo in Polar Silver

What would a turbo in polar silver look like?

I am think of ordering a paint to sample turbo in polar silver. Currently, I have a 997 C2S in GT Silver and love the color but hate to order the same.

Any photoshop experts out there?

It would look sweet! I can't believe they got rid of it as a standard color. It would be great to get a 997tt in Polar. You'd have a very unique car. I am a little biased though.

my thoughts exactly.... beautiful Turbo there, maxwell.
Terrific pic on the Hunter lift.

Polar looks to me like Porsche's most reflective metallic paint ever.

Not certain this is Polar, bit too blue, but it's close (from exoticsonroad.com):

thats far too blue to be polar silver. Unless somebody pshopped a little hue/saturation.

That's not polar silver...it's fountain blue. It might even be the same one that I saw when I visited the Porsche factory last summer.

Just noticed the license plate...what do you know. It's the same one!



Definitely a very special 997TT. Had a lot of customized bits.

Now with your factory shots I can clearly see it's not polar, but that shade of blue looks amazing.
