    Apparently,, double side sticky pads work.. Can’t see it, surely the stream will rip it off and send it over the car when driving at speed...

    Think a lot use a strip of PPF and cover the whole plate plus a extra couple of inches around it...kiss..

    Still no front plate on mine but one of the guys was pulled up here by the cops and handed a 100 GBP fine..It was 50GBP a few month back..

    Your solution sounds good . The velcro one has been apparently  tested  on the German autobahn by one of the clients at my dealer . Nothing flew away ... to my surprise .   

    The good thing is I can take it off easily when on a track . Also , when I hibernated my car, I need to deposit the plates at the car administration in order to stop the road tax + collision insurance etc...   . So , I need to be able to take it off easily .

    Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3 (2017)

    Good thinking too.

    The double sided sticky pads are a easy removal too, just wax off the sticky residue..

    Mind you at the speed I go nothing flies off indecision...

    Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3 (2017)

    I have decided not to put a front plate on my GT3 ($75 parking ticket if caught, but I don't park on the street anyway).  Other than parking, no legal problem.  But if I had to use a plate, I'd probably use this mount that threads into the tow hook location:

    Danke DaveC / Gauss / Gnil / M3ike / Porker / Porsche-Jeck / RC / Spyderidol / ...

    As DaveC will confirm, the colour is a lot richer than pictures can show. Changes with different lighting. Will post more next weekend. @ Achim, Frank and Joël: we must team up am 'Ring soon!

    No front plate for me, just a sticker (right size and colour though). Have a 'proper' one in the frunk just in case.

    Had a lot of fun already with reactions on the different seats left and right. Love the outcome. 'My' car, period.

    Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3 (2017)

    Yes, on purpose. We couldn't get the P03's here when I ordered (and only on the Touring) while that is the seat I prefer.

    Would even delete the passenger seat, but that's a bridge too far...

    Girlfriend likes the Vito most. Is only interested in the colour, not the spec.

    Smiley , sorry, throt does not understand Smiley..

    So, you would have gone for complete passenger seat “”delete’’, if allowed ?..But why not a folding bucket on the passenger side as well ?..

    Sorry in advance..Smiley..

    Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3 (2017)

    Why does a car need to be 'balanced' (seat-wise)? Shall we all mount a second steering wheel? Had a guy freaking out over it until I pointed out the camera on the boot of his 3-series wasn't mounted in the middle.... Anyway, driving now. Maybe more 'explaining' later.

    Great photos!  Love the seating combo too, didn’t even know Porsche would do that. Naturally biased, but I think among the bolder historic colors the linden green works very well on the modern, larger 911.
