I ordered my GTS with the no-cost "standard" air suspension based on a couple of reviews I read. And then subsequently got to drive a GTS with the standard suspension. I'm afraid I'd be lying if I said I was able to tell any dynamic difference on the road between the two cars.

The only difference I did notice between the two was that the other GTS I tried had the optional GTS steering wheel and it was just nicer than the normal wheel in my car. I would pick that if I could go back in time.

Colour-wise, I think both Dolomite Silver and Volcano Grey work best with the clear rear lights on the GTS. But I like a lot the Gentian Blue on mine - it looks different colours depending on the light conditions.

One point to bear in mind is that Air Suspension levels the car on shutdown hence no point in getting out a rule to measure the apparent difference in ride hight.

Here it is!! After final agonising (and a very light bank balance), what the heck, you only live once :-)

ps - it's going to be an unmarked medical emergency response car - not sure there's too many Porsches out there in the UK doing that.

Expensive, unnecessarily over specced and some really niche choices…

Very nice, it's a great spec. Congratulations!

Tell us more about the unmarked medical car - how does that work?!

Looks good... apart from the 18-ways. Guess you need them so as to be secure when responding and throwing it around?

Also, are you happy with all the black at the front?...

I volunteer for a UK charity called BASICS - emergency doctors supporting the ambulance service. We drive covert vehicles on Blues.

Controversially, I quite like the front....ha.

Thanks for all the advice, it's been completely invaluable. April build slot so........June>?

You have gone for bling and omitted a spare.

Heaven help us if your services are called for, the defib is probably back at base in the packing.

Also I make a mental note never to contribute to your Charity, you do not need a Porsche to respond in an emergence.
