Well it finally made it to our shores after a messed up order and months of waiting. I will say the wait is worth it for how the car looks. Definitely not as attention-getting (I think) as the Sapphire Blue 2015.’m

But classy, real classy, I think, and carries a velvet-covered fist if the situation calls for it!

Quick photos at dealer, better ones to come.

👍 That's a very nice looking finish and interior complements the colour well. Enjoy

Congratulations, looks great.

Can I ask how long it took to get PTS? I am always amazed at how much easier it appears to be for US customers and it can't all be down to LHD.

Are you going to replace the orange indicators for clear Euro spec?

But very many Porsche owners do it over there, Nick! ;)

On the Rennlist 991 forum, it's pretty much the first thing that owners do when they get their 991s!

^ Maybe paint the brake calipers orange to match! ;)

(for some reason I think the orange goes 'better' with this PTS than many of the standard colours)

Thank you! Correct order was placed Feb 28 and car was built May 29, arriving at dealer June 26. How long does it take in UK?

There are no clear side markers for sale yet, but there is a company (bumper plugs.com) that has a special paint process and can paint them so they appear body color but still function. They can do this in malachite green for me but I’m not yet sure it bothers me enough to justify $200!

Congratulations on a fine looking example of a Turbo PP. I like the colour far more than I would have expected (generally not a big fan of green cars but this one looks great).
