White looks good!

They all look good to me.

They do all look good, originally I was going with Red but changing to Sapphire Blue Metallic

I think Carmine with silver stitching would look cool. but mine is white as it stands with every thing red.

Does anyone know if the cars shown above are standard white or the metallic carrara white? I'm definitely going white, but would like to see the difference between them both.

Phooey said: Are you going for standard white? yep, it was metallic 1st, but in real life it's pants and not the pearl I was after. you cannot even tell standing next to it, so not worth it. white with red or Carmine red with silver for me, cannot decide.

silver is really dull think I would go red or yellow, loved the yellow with yellow stitching inside of launch car

I'm coming around to white as well, think the black wheels look the part with it. I saw red stitching in a gts & wasn't sure of it. I was originally going for silver but it's definitely a bit dull looking in the pictures. Though maybe that's better out on the road, I'm a bit uncomfortable driving something too shouty!

I can imagine black looking really good but as always... a nightmare to keep clean!

Looks great in all the colours! How depressing!

Unless they offer a PTS I'm going with yellow.... Father is going with Guards red.... I'm going std breaks, he's going PCCB... so some nice contrasts..... but sod the colour it's about the drive....

Phooey said: Nice to see a picture of the satin black wheels! Who is going for black wheels then?

miskalachi said: I can imagine black looking really good but as always... a nightmare to keep clean! Agreed, black with yellow carbon breaks & yellow stiching.

I just received my order confirmation for PTS (second batch, early 2016). My only problem is that I quite like the look of the white! The original plan was Riviera blue but I'm not sure if the shouty colours really flatter the GT4's lines. For example I don't like the yellow at all.

swimd said: The original plan was Riviera blue but I'm not sure if the shouty colours really flatter the GT4's lines. For example I don't like the yellow at all. GT4 is like GT3 RS - shouty colours work best IMHO, subtle blacks/gtreys work better on the standard car and S riviera would be great but I always think its a great shame when there is no link inside, ie matching stitching or door/dash painted cappings, or even matching seat inserts

I've gone blue,the Gt silver is disappointing in photos ,maybe better in flesh.The yellow is horrible.

Anybody know what colours are at Geneva, just yellow? Going later in the week for a look round the car and was hoping to see different colours before speccing.

I love the Yellow +1 Yellow is my favourite too at the moment. 2nd favourite is White with Red and Black in 3rd place. None of the other colours are floating my boat on the GT4.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Not that I am going to be speccing one up but the yellow looks great when I see it in pictures of the Boxster and Cayman but whenever I see one in the metal it never seems as crisp and bright. Do they do different versions or is it the photos being touched up?

I think the current yellow really pops - even in the UK; unlike Speed Yellow, which I know has it's fans, but think looks mustardy out of the showroom and away from strong California sunshine

White for me. I was going for Agate grey but I've had a few grey cars. I do like red but the only red car I'd have is Italian. Yellow too showy for me. Black hides the lines. Silver looks a bit dull.

Carmine red.

Really like the carmine red, but I am going to stick with sapphire blue with pccb's

Timbo_Mint said: As they say 'each to their own'.... I love the Yellow Entirely subjective of course,I just dislike yellow on cars,not this yellow in particular ,just yellow . I'm a yellowist ?

Sapphire Blue would be the only colour for me... Stunning.

Quite liking silver in this shot...

Phooey said: Do we know if this is flat white or the metallic Carrara White? The way the sun is reflecting off the top of the rear arch looks like it could be metallic (though may not be). I'd love Riviera Blue with satin black rims after seeing the Riviera GTS on the GTS thread.

DMC2 said: I've been told colour to sample might be possible.... to be confirmed. I think it may be worth it. None of the standard colours are really that appealing (to me). My current spec is recorded as Dark Blue Metallic with satin black alloys. Plenty of time to change (if indeed I actually get a car in 2016). I now think the darker colours are not the way to go on the GT4 and if I had to choose a standard one it may well be Sapphire Blue. I saw dark blue met on a 911 last week and it is actually a bit sombre without bright sun on it. Agate Grey was another option but I think I've gone off that now too. There is a local Carmine Red CGTS that doesn't quite do it either for the money and if PTS was available it may be worth it for soemthing extra-special to hold on to. I spent £1,850 on fancy TVR paint 10 years ago and I still haven't tired of that, so maybe PTS is the answer to get something you really like.

agate

That needs silver wheels... Phooey said: agate

I've gone black with black just due to personal preference.

Dull

Pls someone order mint green or gulf blue. Will look the bomb on this car!

Please let me re-phrase (for the benefit of PorscheGT4), I think that Agate looks good... Edited by 2010spy on Sunday 22 March 18:29 Edited by 2010spy on Sunday 22 March 18:31

IMIA said: Pls someone order mint green or gulf blue. Will look the bomb on this car! Cannot say either of those do anything for me. Mexico blue on the other hand or toxic green or RS Orange would be great but alass no colour to sample available.

If you're spending the money on something special, go PTS.....Maritime Blue.

[quote=g7jhp]If you're spending the money on something special, go PTS.....Maritime Blue. [quote] How much does PTS cost?

£3k and not available so a mute subject :-)

PTS not available, the car is not available. would love a full blue and orange Gulf car, now that would be something. i did have a fully coloured Gulf Atom and loved it

UK colours list and prices: Standard colours Black (£0) White (£0) Guards Red (£0) Racing Yellow (£0) Metallic colours Jet Black Metallic (£558) Carrara White Metallic (£558) Rhodium Silver Metallic (£558) Dark Blue Metallic (£558) Agate Grey Metallic (£558) Sapphire Blue Metallic (£558) Special colour GT Silver Metallic (£1,595) Carmine Red (£1,595) I think GT Silver Metallic would be my pick of these. Understated but a great colour.

Heard of PTS being ordered elsewhere in the world on this car (pushing delivery back about 6 months) so you never know.... a Mexico Blue would look amazing...

I've ordered one in stealth, the only colour my dealer had left. Dealer said it might look like a regular cayman all the Gt4 bits are invisible.

Love this shot. It's a bit lower than i thought

Not sure what colour this is, but it's deffo not white

well imo it needs to shout so have gone back to yellow on yellow with yellow. added black wheels and PCCB now don't have to pay for another 8 months !

Less is so often more.........

av185 said: Less is so often more......... Totally agree...

Yes stickers on a road car .........errr really

Anyone have their GT4's wrapped? I would love to see some more pics of the GT4 colours especially crazy coloured wraps.

Gulp! Each to their own I guess!

Come on guys, stickers/decals is just a bit of fun. Depends on the colour of the car - imv white does give you a bit of a blank canvas. I sourced and applied the stickers to mine myself - they will probably be removed if I get bored of them or if I came to sell the car. I guess as long as there is some connection to stickers/stripes with some precedence that helps. Personally, I am ok with the Blue car with the legacy Le Mans flames on it...again, its a bit of fun and links to an official Porsche decal scheme...The year Porsche reentered Le Mans, I did inquire about something similar for my Guards Red 996 GT3 but couldn't find something that worked.

Weirdly the yellow works well, especially with the yellow callipers which you match up.

JiggyJaggy said: Weirdly the yellow works well, especially with the yellow callipers which you match up. Thanks. It's all 'matchy matchy' ...the centre stripe also has yellow piping though not clear in the pictures. My friend with identical car but steels (and red internal stitching) did the same but with red lettering and centre piping. They do look a pair To be honest, red against white is a more striking contrast. (EDIT: and then Porsche copied us with the 911R side decals!)

GT3cs said: Looks great . Making me wish I hadn't sold my white clubsport now .Can anyone photoshop that scheme onto a Spyder but with red lettering ..... Stickers would not improve that. What I do like on the GT4s is black wheels and yellow callipers

Bubbly!

I have just been having that exact debate as my gt4 is currently in for ppf and the fitter has asked if I want any decals etc added. I am a little tempted to have the gt4 highlighted on the side vent, but other than that nothing interests me.

Worth resurrecting this thread for those looking to buy one. Some fantastic colours in here.

Just seen this wrap, weirdly this looks quite good in the right colours:

ShakMan said:

was looking at a gt4 today in a showroom and noticed that the paint on one side had chipped on the panel joint about the side scoop, thinking this was abit odd i checked the otherside and low and behold, same chip in same place. Is this a 'stress zone', common or an accidental f k up by someone along the lines?

Stripe added ready for the Oulton RS day in March.

m33ufo said: He signed the owners manual for me which was nice. I'm pretty sure it's now owned by a member.

Are there any 718 GT4's in Gulf Blue?

my 981 is gulf blue

Here's mine. Viper

I just picked up a PDK Shark Blue a couple of days ago. Absolutely loving it. Previous owner on here?
