    lip

    does anyone have a picture of a white TT with a colour matched lower lip? The black 2 inch lip hides vital lines of the car...
    cheers

    Re: lip

    Love the painted wheels option, especially in white. I passed on painting the lowers. If you do it be sure to at least add the 3m clear covering for the front lip. Good insurance down the road. If I change my mind I may have it done down the road I will have to think about it (color GT Silver).

    Re: lip

    IMO, it adds MORE BS slatty/venty/wingy confusion, this time to the front end of the car! Why not add some "aggressiveness" to the untouched roof panel somehow? Keeping lip black reduces excess clutter.

    Sorry.

    I'm a believer in "less-is-more."

    The one with the painted wheels above is mine. Painting the black plastic makes the car look much sleeker, there is not black plastic everywhere on a Ferrari or Bentley... The Turbo can be so nice, it's just with Porsche everything is extra. Loving my car. JF

    Yes, love your car; I'm happy if the other guy is happy with his car. Me personally, I just think the Turbo is really busy-looking. I'm gonna buy one anyway, but I have a few little annoying problems with the stylization.
