I am thinking of the browns or Lime Gold? Anyone brave enough to go for it and braver enough to admit it?!!!

So are you swaying towards a 991 now instead of the GTS?

I was very tempted to order mahogany metallic but couldn't find one to look at in the flesh, finally ordered Aqua blue. Recently seen a 991 in lime gold it looked good but not sure how I'd feel about it 12 months down the line. Think that's the thing with these colours, first impressions you like them and the idea there different but can you live with them confused

Wasn't there a nice pale blue metallic available on the 997 called Ipanema Blue? Saw it on the configurator but not in the flesh. I quite like the brown but it'd be a bugger to sell on. Best sticking to the classic colours, methinks.

Hmm, no. But I can see why I thought that. Does that make any sense? smile

Agreed. Better on the 991 than on the 997 IMO. Better still with red seats and subtle highlights (leave the dash black!!). I'll look out for you around the local roads.

Anthracite Brown looks very good. It's warm, but not *too* brown. The missus wanted our 981 in it having borrowed a demo in that colour.

yes Agate is the best colour for a 991 IMO.

I went for Ruby Red. Not sure if that's radical or not. Looks fantastic
