    997TT tip already in repair shop + pics

    I went to brussels porsche center today and they had one GT silver in the showroom. I thought it was the only one. I wasn't expecting to find 3 of them.

    While I was inside the showroom, an atlas grey just parked in front. I took a few pics of it. Dark colors are alot better than brighter ones. My avice, go with atlas, black or midnight blue.

    Then I walked around and ended up in the maintenance area. And tehr was the third. A really nice meteor grey 997TT with beige interior and black dashboard. The car was open and the window was down. The gear lever was completely off and pieces were everywhere. Look below for pics. No one was there so I took the liberty of getting in. I guess I shouldn't have because when I openeed the door the alarm went off. It caught me by surprised as the window was down and the door was open and the sound of that alarm in a garage is really loud. You could here it from miles away. The weird thing is that it stopped by itself. No one came. It was 6pm and everyone had already left in the maintenance department but why no one came is beyond my understanding. I kinda felt that I should not have been there (oopsy) and I left.


    Anyway, the car looks superb in the metal. The alloys are a bit too shiny IMO but looked good none the less.

    God I want one.

    The pics are in 1024x768. Enjoy

    It's the tip box from a meteor grey turbo.

    Re: 997TT tip already in repair shop + pics

    Are you sure it is Meteor Grey? I think it is Slate Grey.
    According to my friend who works at P. they did not produce any Porsche in Meteor Grey yet...
    Look at this pic, it is Slate Grey...

    Re: 997TT tip already in repair shop + pics

    Could it be to just replace some defective trim perhaps??

    Re: 997TT tip already in repair shop + pics

    Bi-color beige looks really hot!

    Re: 997TT tip already in repair shop + pics

    They're replacing the tip with a six speed.

    Now that was funny!

    Re: 997TT tip already in repair shop + pics

    impossible that it is meteor, only starting at october production(MY2007) !! The meteor grey will look something
    lighter than the sealgrey. Looking forward to seeing it!
    I also was very suprised to see 3 turbo's at my dealer

    Re: 997TT tip already in repair shop + pics

    Maybe the buyer realized his huge mistake of getting an automatic and is haveing them correct it for him.

    I'v seen slate in person and it's not slate. But you got me wonder.

    Some say meteor is not available before october
    If that's correct, I'd have to say it's seal grey.

    To sum up, it's definitly not slate but could be either meteor or seal grey

    Re: 997TT tip already in repair shop + pics

    don't worry It's meteor, not seal not slate
