Just cleaned mine properly(ish) for the first time in a while and noticed that 3 of my 4 black exhaust tips now have a speckled finish inside!

It was getting dark so I didn't have the time, or the inclination, to investigate further but wondered if any other GTS owners have seen anything similar (or indeed anyone with black tips!)





Can't decide whether the paint is coming off or whether its a shiny carbon deposit.Paul2016-12-20 17:36:54

It's Pixie dust, that's why all Porsches are so magical.

Hmmm. Very odd. Also from the pics it only appears to be the bottom part of the tips?

I have not had mine long enough but will check weekend anyway.
