    991 Turbo/Turbo S exterior color advice

    OK. Decision has been made. Exterior color needs to be chosen...

    Interior will be Black.

    Now, exterior options narrowed to:

    -White + Sport Classic wheels in optional Black

    -Agate Grey Metallic + Sport Classic wheels in standard GT Silver

    -GT Silver Matellic + Sport Classic wheels in standard GT Silver

    Your opinion fellow members?


    Re: 991 Turbo/Turbo S exterior color advice

    Count me in for White! My TTS is White. And all my other cars are white. GT Silver would be my second choice.

    Dual GT Silver. I am not a fan of black wheels anymore. It is so 2010 indecision

    True, I would go for the platinum finish for the wheels.

    His 3 colour choices don't really work with satin platinum finish.

    Re: 991 Turbo/Turbo S exterior color advice

    I vote for GT Silver + GT Silver (standard) Sport Classics! wink

    Just for inspiration, 991 Turbo on PTS Gulf Blue (sorry for the crappy pictures).

    Re: 991 Turbo/Turbo S exterior color advice

    Rhodium Silver looks awesome!

    But from the three, go with GT Silver


    Re: 991 Turbo/Turbo S exterior color advice

    I am the biggest fan of GT Silver, since the CGT time. It is a silver like no other and in Porsche tradition.

    Everybody that sees my car comments that it is a  unique silver even though half the cars around are some kind of silver.

    It looks good in bright light and when overcast. 

    Just get the plastic side intakes painted in body colour.

    Kreso, I am happy that you will go for a 911, after all the contemplation  kiss I am sure you will go for the S!

    Re: 991 Turbo/Turbo S exterior color advice

    Decison has been made.

    Actually, I like unpainted side intakes, side skirts and rear.

    I have a time till next Tuesday to choose exterior color.


    Re: 991 Turbo/Turbo S exterior color advice

    KresoF1:

    -White + Sport Classic wheels in optional Black

    Definately the best option for a Turbo, the contrast with the black side intakes, front & rear intakes, and wheels give it a special look amongs the 911 line up.

    Re: 991 Turbo/Turbo S exterior color advice

    Not such a big fan of the Sport Classic wheels, but of the three choices, my vote goes definitely to white (metallic?) with the black wheels. In black the wheels look good, in GT silver they look very 1984 or so   angry

    White exterior with black interior always looks good and timeless IMHO. White deviated stitching would make it even better (much more upmarket and on par with the car's pricetag) indecision

    or paint them black to retain contrast


    Re: 991 Turbo/Turbo S exterior color advice

    I like my cars stock. NO aftermarket items for me. Included painting some parts in black as aftermarket job.

    I think that now with exclusive option DAR (exterior painted packet) the customer can choose a deviating (abweichend as they call it) colour, not only body colour. I don't know if the car is delayed with such options.

    IMO if the black plastic parts are painted with black paint, the contrast is maintained and they look more finished and they are very much easier to keep clean. Raw plastic tends to get permanently soiled after a while.

    Ah, I should have read your choices instead of looking at the topic and responding too quickly.

    Out of the three choices, I would pick:

    -White + Sport Classic wheels in optional Black
