White is a real pain to keep looking good if you track it. All the rubber dings (which require clay barring off) really show up.

White's good, in fact I love it. But there is something about the red...



Go Red!

My sentiments exactly - though that's not to say the white ones don't look absolutely fantastic. But try finding one that isn't white. They're around, but they're in a minority. I haven't seen a red one yet.

Sorry, not a fan of red pork....if you don't want white how about speed yellow? It certainly looked great on the 996 GT3 and I woud expect it to be slightly easier to sell on than red.

Do you have a build slot for an RS? I thought production was ending this year.

Warning - I saw a few red ones at factory and they looked dull somehow - particularly if not totally clean. Some of the body details seem to get lost - look at those rear view pics above. Like Grant I've gone for silver and although it sounds like the boring choice it really does look good - all of the time. Two months in and I'm more and more happy with my colour choice - as opposed to getting bored.

Yep if you prefer white get it. It's not like you are going to see a million white GT3s every day and get the hump.

Go for GT Silver, slightly darker than Arctic Silver and sets the lines off beautifully.

So, which did you go for ?

On the 997GT3, I'd go for white.

But my '6GT3MkII is speed yellow ...

Went for WHITE!!!!

I was still undecided at the OPC while filling in the spec on the computer!

My reason? You can get any porsche in red - but only the GT3 suits white (IMO). So it had to be white!

Final spec:
- white
- buckets
- zenons
- red seat belts
- carbon centre console
- floor mats (would even throw them in for free!)
- sunroof (joking)

£84k (ouch!)

Three months to go...
