    997 4S red

    I am falling more and more in love with this color combo !
    I think red suits the 997 perfectly. It is just a bit flash, but the car look so much more sporty then in the same old black, grey.

    This is a second hand car I saw on the side of the road. I stopped to see if it was a C2S with PCCB and maybe even X51, in which case I would of traded my car in for that one !!

    Re: 997 4S red

    I dont like the dark rims on it. The black makes them look smaller. Further on, I would prefer the red on a GT3 look, because this color is so meaningful, the whole car needs to look hot hot hot, the 997 S is a bit to good and brave...

    Re: 997 4S red

    There is no better color for a P than Red. If I didn't have fear of attracting tickets (I know, it's just an urban myth) I may actually get my next one in this color.

    Re: 997 4S red

    i'M WITH YOU GNIL, NO MORE SILVER, GREY, BLACK

    Re: 997 4S red

    well it's a true sportcar color, however black/grey are more comfortable driving on a daily basis. (doesn't attract as much attention).
    Of course, yellow attracts even more! but then i'll still take the red 997 over any other color if i don't live in a city with low-life beings.. that being said, i'll go for it if i can get 2 guards with me for work

    Re: 997 4S red

    How much was it Gnil?

    Re: 997 4S red

    Yes the red is a great color on a 997. Not too sure about the black rims. I would stick to silver or a darker grey as a color.

    Re: 997 4S red

    I think the 997 is stunning in red. Unfortuntately just sold mine to get into a GT3, couldnt find a GT3 in red so had to go with black, but red + Turbo wheels is my fave 997 Combo

    Re: 997 4S red

    another

    Re: 997 4S red

    I love guards red, the one colour which makes a Cayman look terrific Looks good on the 911 also, my choice would be with sand beige leather.

    @chris5150 you come from my favourite part of the country, we have close friends in Bagby, nr Thirsk and escape to a holiday cottage in Askrigg up on the Moors as often as we can get away from the crowds of the South Coast.

    Re: 997 4S red

    Ahhh dreamcar, yes Bagby I drive through it quite often. I do feel very fortunate living in North yorkshire, great roads. Just the other day I went for a blast ( trying to get the GT3 run in as fast as poss ) out from harrogate - skipton - settle - horton in ribblesdale - hawes - Leyburn - Bedale - Ripon and home ...just over 100 miles of great scenery & great roads...and NO speed camera's, isnt it great that there are none at all in North Yorkshire!!

    Re: 997 4S red

    I'm happy that people choose the other colours in the range...a sea of silver, grey or black would be very dull [says the guy who has a GT silver car! ]

    Spending most of my vacation time this year in France, but next time we're heading your way I'll send you a PM - maybe we can meet up (if you don't mind slumming it with a humble Boxster owner) That road up past Ribblehead viaduct is spectacular, as is the minor road up past the Buttertubs.

    When we picked our cobalt blue Boxster up from Stuttgart, it looked really distinctive amongst all the monochrome shades.

    Re: 997 4S red

    I noticed your turbo wheel has the colored crest on the wheel cap. I didn't know this is available, at least not on the 997 Turbo's option list. What option code did you use for this please? Thanks in advance.

    Re: 997 4S red

    Cannga,
    Itr wasnt intentional. I did have sport design wheels on the car when I bought it, then I bought the Turbo wheels later. The turbo wheels did not come with the centre caps so I just used the ones of the sport wheels. They look good from a distance, but the problem being close up you notice they have the matt finish rather than the polished finish, but to be honest I quite liked them!

    Re: 997 4S red

    Nice pic dreamcar. That room looks very familiar!

    Re: 997 4S red

    Thank you. Yes I am aware of the different finish; even so I most likely would get them also. You didn't think anyone would be so obsessive as to catch this nice detail on your car, did you?
