I have a '99 C4 w/ factory aerokit I'm thinking about using a Martini livery on.
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�ve been waiting on delivery of some Martini graphics for my wife�s 718 Cayman. They�re coming out of Germany and are delayed. I�ll post pics when install is complete. But waiting around has me looking at options for my car, 2003 C4S in Basalt black. I�ve researched many threads and Google with no good results, at least not to my liking. Any suggestions or opinions wou;d be appreciated. Pic is not so good but best I�ve got so far.
Call the guys at Magnagrafik - I had them do decals on my Boxster. Quality work and good people to work with.

They have all kinds of options for you - they'll fix you up. They can do custom work as well.
+996 on MagnaGrafik. I had them do some Martini door magnets for a track day and they turned out great. The owner is an active member of the local PCA here in Cincinnati, and a really nice guy.
Cheers

�Thanks. I�ll reach out to them.
Side note, I ordered genuine Porsche Martini graphics for wifey�s 718 months ago. They were coming out of Germany. Was like pulling teeth to get replies, and it�s not like they were dealing with me personally. I ordered through the parts dept. at PorscheOKC. paid up front when I ordered. They told us yesterday that they were not approved for the US market and would not sell! WTF?
Check with MagnaGrafiks for those too.
I have a friend (and Rennlister) who has dealt with them before on standard vinyl and he is happy.
I imagine anyone who does custom livery could make Martini graphics for any Porsche.

You’re right about that. The car currently has the remnants of the Martini vinyl on it now. Considering it’s a ‘17 model I’m not happy with how it held up. The previous owner probably stored it outside without any protection at all, but still. Serious fading, cracking, peeling, etc...
I’m looking for something higher quality that will hold up and look good when it’s time to sell 😀
I went with tone on tone for the Porsche stripe. It's subtle and sometimes barely visible depending on the light. I think black on black would look cool. I would go with a satin black, not glossy. I did this with the hood stripes on my Cooper S.
I bought my 996 with an American Flag wrap. Pictures do not do it justice at all, it looks much better in person. Though I love my country and I do like the way it looks, I plan on removing it soon because I spend a lot of time in Chicago and on University campuses and I am worried that the car will get vandalized. While I'm here in Scottsdale, I have get tons of compliments everywhere I go even from non-car guys. Even the Corvette guys like my 911! The other upside is that Police Officers love the American Flag wrap. I got pulled over doing 85 in 55MPH zone (It was a 4 lane highway near Phoenix that should have been at least 70) and the cop didn't even give me a warning. He just talked about how he believed the American flag was being disrespected right now and how much he liked the paintwork even though it was on a "commie-mobile" hahaha. If my car was the original Seal Gray that is underneath, I guarantee you I would have gotten a ticket then. Anyways... here it is:
Do not do business with these people!
Graphics arrived damaged from the way they were taped onto the cardboard tube.
Had a couple of conversations with them. They blamed my installer (a professional who does this for a living, and does it well). Said he was incompetent and had I been in their shop (somewhere in the Middle East I�m sure) they could have fixed it. Not possible. The damage was through to the color.
The web has saved many an A-hole from a much deserved *** whoppin�! I much prefer face to face. Less BS that way.
Just my opinion, but; With a street car, less is more... Race cars are covered with liveries for a reason - that's how they support the car/team (they're rolling billboards, that they're being paid to drag around the country/world). While some of the graphics do look pretty cool, you're rolling around advertising Martini or whatever for free - and you even paid for the "privilege" - how foolish is that? Your car looks amazing the way it is - A "tasteful" stripe (I like the lower rocker panel stripes) without the company name is more than enough to differentiate your car from others (and will even give a wink for those who know) while not overtly advertise for a liquor/cigarette/oil/whatever company... rant over
More is less is sometimes true, but after going to car shows for years; a little flavor can be fun to. I definitely have seen people go to far but that's just my opinion, which is worthless to the owner.
