    For a GT3 (this does not apply to any of the other 911 variants) without a trace of doubt: white with black painted wheels (leaving the outside border or rim of the wheel unpainted).

    I like the GT3 in flamboyant colors, especially the RS, but the White/Black argument is a nice one to have if you have a GT3 on the way

    Re: What is the best Colour 997 GT3 to buy??

    Thanks Guys,

    So at this point I'll recap...

    Apart from one out there aqua blue (Indiam Ocean) colour.

    It's a simple matter of Ebony or Ivory???

    Quite surprising that not one person has included a metalic colour.

    I had a crack on the GB Por site and it's so difficult to tell the true colour on that build your own car section..

    Seeming to deviate a bit here, but I think that Meteor Metallic Grey looks great on the magazine scans and videos that I have seen. However, I'm personally not sure if I would be brave enough to plump for it if I were to be ordering a GT3, having never seen it in real life.

    Loki, that car is beautiful. Do you have any more pictures of it?

    So far that Cobalt blue is really doing it for me!!

    However, I'd love to see a photo of a GT Silver GT#=3.
