Hi All,

I have spent many months (actually nearly a year now) looking through sites/forums such as this, scanning pics and configurations, all the while trying to get the details right on my new Macan GTS. You see I did not want white, silver, black, grey etc. I have been a loyal Merc driver for a long time now and my last three have been white! Hubby has a white Cayman GTS. So time for a change......

That meant it had to be pts - and that is where the fun starts! There are no colour samples, no nice painted examples. It involves literally hours of trawling web pics just to narrow it down and then you might just get lucky and see it for real on a car no matter the model. Then lighting has a huge part to play. Each colour looks different in daylight, showroom light and in a photograph too.

So I have gone a bit mad and ordered Riviera Blue with lots of black contrast. It took a whole day to place the order with the most amazing sales guy who has the patience of a saint. Each tiny detail inside and out was considered carefully with many trips to view actual samples in different showrooms.

I am hoping this car lightens my day every time I look at it. It certainly lightened my purse :D Ordered at the start of the year for Sep delivery slot and it will now be collected on 18th November. Watch this space.

Welcome.

It is strange that as you ordered so long ago your OPC could not deliver it in Sept, the wait time this year has been five months.

Spec lockdown is only required 6 weeks prior to build start.

Build takes 3 days.

Delivery is in the range of 7 to 30 days and this is simply down to logistics which are outside the control of
Porsche.

Hence for a pick up of 18th November your car is either at the dealers or already enroute there.

Welcome to the forum Sue! :)

I just googled Riviera Blue PTS and it is certainly cheerful! Will look good with your hubby's white Cayman GTS too. ;)

I am looking forward to seeing the pictures when it arrives. 8-)

:D I think I have studied every single one of those pics over time! My spec goes a bit like this -

Colour matched side blades, sports mirrors, roof bars, black gloss painted logo on rear (yes another £290) that one took the involvement of every single person in the dealership that day to make a decision, black GTS leather/alcantara, carbon pack, heated seats, memory pack. Very interestingly we had to have the reversing camera with pts. No choice it has to be spec'd. Apparently the special paint content interferes with the sensors so as back up you must have the camera. Only found that out at a later date!

It makes me smile every time I look at that colour. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

A warm welcome Sue.
