I filled her up for the first time! This was in Bayreuth, after a quick sprint down then autobahn from Leipzig.

Hard to tell in the lighting if it is Guards or Carmine. Either way it's a great looking car.

I finished off the rear diffuser wrap with the center piece. This is quite a complex item requiring many separate pieces with care to match the texture.

Wow, that looks great! Hopefully there won't be any heat related issues with the pieces above the exhaust.

I've run wrap there before on my GTS, and the GT4 surround is shaped a little differently, actually leaving a larger gap between tips and wrap, so I'm pretty confident there won't be a problem.
And the tips don't get all that hot because I drive so fast they air flow cools them down pretty well...

I was doing the liter:galon and Euro:dollar conversion and was not pleased!

Thanks. It's Carmine. I agree that the two reds are often hard to tell apart in photos when they're not pictured together.

After 13,500 trouble free miles, the Parking Brake Fault light appears daily. I dropped it off yesterday at The Collection in Coral Gables and they still have it today. A text from my service advisor says it should be fixed today. Something about a gap in the brake when applied. They loaned me a car but it's just not a GT4.

Also have the same problem but not everyday.....the dealer is still researching the problem. Please post any info you get from the dealer.

I like it . I used 9KFLT6 on my GT3. Most people thought it was aircraft related, something - flight 6.

I did some searching some time ago on this and I saw some info regarding the parking brake having a specific module that could go bad.....maybe worth mentioning the dealer to check if this is accurate.
