I changed the same door sticker on my GTS as the standard black one was almost invisible on a dark blue car to silver.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am currently looking for a 981 GTS and have come across this car. In many ways it is a good fit to what I am looking for but when I look at the pics it triggered my spidey sense. The GTS logos on the doors just look odd. I have shared a photo of the logo (black car), and a similar logo from the Porsche website so likely to be genuine (silver car).
Are there slightly different versions of the GTS logo on the 981?
Not sure it helps but here’s a picture of the logo on the side of my old 997 GTS so same era as 981 . Looks like a match to the silver one ? The black one might be off a later car which the owner added. Porsche might have subtly changed it on ;after cars.
Is the standard factory fit GTS door logo not always black, regardless of exterior colour? Even on black paint?
If you run a new 718 GTS through the configurator and choose a black paint option then you can't see the logo. Choose any reasonably pale or bright colour and it's easily visible. Our Gentian Blue GTS has black door logos and they are very hard to see.
I think a previous owner has had silver logos made up and applied.
Off to look for other 981 GTS in black. Good observation.
Most of the black 981s have no logo - doh - but I did find one and you are right - the logo is black. These are aftermarket logos.
Thank you!

No problem, mystery solved.
Enjoy your car shopping!
I managed to get the car's reg - a Car Vertical search shows that it seems to be for sale more often than it is owned. Doesn't feel right. So sticking with my Spidey Sense and looking elsewhere.
I changed the same door sticker on my GTS as the standard black one was almost invisible on a dark blue car to silver.
I have also put red door stickers on my GT4 via the same excellent guy in Norwich who runs a livery (vans/ trucks, etc company.
Personal opinion; but really dislike any superfluous stickers on Porsches - bit tacky (pardon the pun) IMO.
Everyone knows it’s a Porsche, the owner knows what model it is, why the need to tell everyone else?
Bit like the people who buy designer clothes but have to make sure the label is prominent or oversized.
Surely, with Porsches, subtlety is classier ? De-badged and de-stickered.
Stickered up Porsches always reminds me of this

Could be just the angle of the photo that make sit look different.
OP, give us a link to the black car for sale. I put non-OEM GTS badges on my 981 GTS. Is it Jet Black metallic?

To my eye it looks wrong from all the angles in the photos, and seems to be the wrong colour.

Not my old car. ‘GTS’ looks alright to me… but there are more important considerations when buying than the stickers on the doors.

Looks like it has been ‘chavved’ up. Blacked out windows, that strange chameleon coloured tint on the front window. Wouldn’t touch it
The little things can be clues to bigger things. I agree though, I won't be touching it.
