GT4 Colour - what did you actually choose? - Page 5 - Boxster/Cayman - PistonHeads UK

Agate grey, black wheels, red belts and silver stitching (thought red was too much). I stuck with the standard brushed aluminium inlays, but beginning to think I should have gone for carbon. Also gone for LWB and leather. Was very nearly tempted by Mexico blue though. Edited by n17ves on Monday 27th July 09:19

There's already an excellent GT4 colours thread started by Phooey, but I want to know what buyers have actually chosen? So please only submit if you're in that position. My OPC wants my choice today after being advised I had been allocated a car last Thursday - I'm feeling under pressure!! This would have been easy, Viper Green was always my choice. Unfortunately it seems that option was removed the day before my allocation was confirmed! What I'd like in your response is: 1.Body colour (white, black, guards red, racing yellow, jet black, carrara white....etc) 2.Wheel colour 3.Interior trim (brushed aluminium, painted, leather, carbon...etc) 4.Stitching 5.Belts Leather and LWB's are a given on my car. I'm currently white or black (metallic or solid to be decided), black or platinum wheels (to be decided), with carbon or painted trim, silver belts, platinum stitching. Very undecided and could just as easily go racing yellow or guards red with the matching interiors!! For those in a similar predicament - good luck! Edited by m33ufo on Monday 27th July 09:28

Gt silver Black wheels LWB, full leather, red stiching,red belts & carbon. Though I'm thinking of reverting back to guards with platinum wheels & silver stitching, there's a damn good family holiday with the change!

Sapphire Blue LWB with CS Leather Platinum Stitching Standard wheels Black wing support..

Interesting how many are going Guards with platinum not red stitching....although at £800 for red that is a rip off same as GT3 especially considering red is the same price as platinum or yellow stitching on the Spyder. Not many going black either probably because the shape is lost...won t date though. Most likely going Sapphire despite non GT colour but suits platinum stitching red belts with red calipers. The brushed aluminium in the GT3 looks poor imho so having carbon interior which compliments smooth leather steering wheel...

QUESTION: do the door pulls form part of the belt option or the stitching option? I'd actually like silver/grey belts but won't bother if it means I'll still have black door pulls.

stitching option for door pulls

m33ufo said: QUESTION: do the door pulls form part of the belt option or the stitching option? I'd actually like silver/grey belts but won't bother if it means I'll still have black door pulls. Stitching option according to the configurator when I last looked....its annoying as I wanted red to match the belts, but didn't want the stitching option!

That's a shame. I had silver belts and door pulls on a 987 Spyder which looked really good ( I thought!). Ok...this is me: 1. Carrara White (black wing supports) 2. Satin Black wheels (red calipers) 3. Carbon trim (dash / doors / console) 4. Platinum stitching 5. Black belts I've asked my dealer to confirm that custom colour is a definite NO. If there's any hope of a change I'll be going Viper Green with Satin Black wheels Thanks for the input.

Body colour: Racing Yellow. Black wings Wheel colour: Platinum. Red calipers. Interior trim: Yellow stitching. Yellow steering wheel marker. LWB's. CS. SC. Carbon trim/s. Leather Steering column. Yellow belts. This is current submitted build spec although doesn't lock until September-ish. Very very close to changing it again though - to GT Silver, Black wheels, red stitching.

I went Carmine Red, Black Inside, Club Sport Option with Red Belts and Red Stitching I pick it up next week so I'll know soon if it was a good choice or not!

What's the time penalty for PTS; when are PTS cars going to be delivered?

TheDeadPrussian said: What's the time penalty for PTS; when are PTS cars going to be delivered? I was quoted a delay of 9 weeks for PTS which pushed my delivery back to Late November. I suspect that if you haven't already got your PTS order in you might have missed the boat.

I was quoted 3 months and now PTS has been stopped.

PorscheGT4 said: I was quoted 3 months and now PTS has been stopped. I may have to go Riviera wrap over Sapphire!

It is amazing how a company can offer an option one minute, then they can't and after a few weeks they can again, it's crazy

Where did you get the 130 number from? Interestingly, I had PTS on one configuration and a non PTS on another - couple of weeks ago the PTS disappeared on my non PTS order but was still available on my original PTS configuration. PTS order just gone in so fingers crossed.... Might choice acid green?

bromers2 said: PTS order just gone in so fingers crossed.... Might choice acid green? Acid Green....we need a pic? Don't forget wheel colour, interior trim, stitching, belts etc?

Colour to sample 98 and 99 for UK order cars stopped on 24 July.

Wonder what Ultra Violet would look like on a GT4 - with silver wheels and wing support?

OPC phoned at weekend to say I have a GT4 allocation (October build) - deposit paid (no PTS available but LWB are fine) My only problem is colour choice - Sapphire blue metallic or Carrera White metallic Anyone know if there are any physical cars in either colour within reasonable distance of London/South east? Andrew

AD64 said: Anyone know if there are any physical cars in either colour within reasonable distance of London/South east? There's a Sapphire Blue Boxster (and Macan) in the showroom at Mid Sussex.

Sapphire Blue Boxster at Reading as well.

Andrew Well done you. So no delays with LWB then? As at 22nd July 10 week delay on P11 buckets for pre October cars. Currently there is no delay on October onwards cars on P11.

Thanks for replies - don't think I have to decide on colour until end of August? (Oct build) and was hoping to see an actual GT4 in correct colour before I make final choice

Very interesting to hear about these extra allocations being made available and that's just the ones reported on here... I wonder what the UK total is being pushed up too?

I don't believe it's extra allocation, it's more shuffling of allocation between OPCs, and think one person said he'd picked up a cancelled slot.

PTS order just gone in so fingers crossed.... Might choice acid green? Is Acid Green actually available as an external colour? I tried to order my GTS in that colour and was told that it wasn't available but I could have Light Green (253) instead which was the nearest shade to Acid Green...........

don't think anyone really knows how many in total yet (its not a limited run car)

MB 1 said: I don't believe it's extra allocation, it's more shuffling of allocation between OPCs, and think one person said he'd picked up a cancelled slot. He believed that, but wasn't the case, Porsche Reading had an additional allocation of 2, as did a few others, but all were Porsche owned dealerships.

Pretty sure I've seen a 918 in it so assumed it was available for the GT4 too.

bromers2 said: Pretty sure I've seen a 918 in it so assumed it was available for the GT4 too. Acid Green is not on the June 2015 Colour to Sample List

I've ordered Light Green 253 on my GT4. I had to lock the colour in last week

It had been removed from the online configurator last week but when I gave my spec to my dealer on Tuesday his system allowed it - subject to delay (which I was happy with). We both signed off on the order. It was subsequently cancelled this morning. No real explanation. I might just substitute the CS pack for the PTS option and go with Carrara.

There was actually a CCTV still of them discussing / laughing about it. I hope they choke on their frankfurters. You would want a red band with the red stiching, but I guess they haven't got round to that yet. Trinny.

Yes the blighters Would appears that anyone who has submitted a CTS sample in the last 2 weeks will get it rejected when the factory process it. Demand has been high and it pushes the builds out past the allocated end date for builds (so I am told). I am thankful I didn't dither and got mine in the morning it went live. Even then I was old that I couldn't have CTS, LWB and CS on same order but it was overruled and allowed (that was about a month ago). Shocking how Porsche can have options and keep changing their mind, will be my first Porsche let alone new one and the buying experience is 'interesting'. I would say it heightens the anticipation ..... but it doesn't it's mildly annoying!! Hey ho what ever colour you get it will be an awesome car, look great and worth the wait

Hi my choice is:- Peridot Platinum wheels Black alcantera Platinum stitching Red belts Black rear wing supports November build Edited by Harryaitch on Tuesday 11th August 11:08

I think the Yellow really made it stand out at Goodwood.

Harryaitch said: Hi my choice is:- Peridot And what a great choice!

Went to look at some physical 981 caymans on Saturday!Originally ordered jet black but thought it is a very nice colour on the gt4 but too safe and not really a gt colour so opted for Guards red but after Saturday still think it will look great in black but not so sure about GR anymore so most likely going to opt for Carrara white metallic with platinum wheels!

Did exactly the same. Was pretty much set on Agate grey based on the internet pictures. And in the showroom it looked very good. But on the cars out in natural light it just didn't do it at all. Looked flat and brown. So actually ended up going for something I would never have previously considered based on photos. But in the real-world, outdoor, overcast light we have to live with here in Manchester it looked stunning. October can't come soon enough.

So guards red looks the most popular choice of colour for the gt4 and black the least(not including cts)

Gt silver (Porsche Carrera GT) is possibly my fav Porsche colour of all time. It's superb in the flesh, so different to Rhodium. I think that and platinum wheels would look gorgeous. Enjoy chaps

My spec is now in: 1.White. 2.Satin Black wheels. 3.Painted interior dash and console trim etc (white). 4.Platinum stitching. 5.Black belts. Options include: Satin Black wheels. Leather interior with platinum stitching. PDLS. 64Litre tank. Cruise. Light design package. Full bucket seats. Two-zone climate control. Smoking package. Footwell storage net. Interior package painted. Centre console trim painted. Steering column in leather. Inner door sills in leather. Sun visors in Alcantara. Mobile phone prep. Decided against PCM. It would have been purely for someone else's enjoyment.
