Re: Cayman GTS
We collected the car today and it looks fantastic. I'm so glad I ordered Carmine red with the Platinum wheels as the dealer had a Guards red display car with the black option wheel and there was simply no contest between the two. Quite a few other customers came over to see the car and commented on how good the colour looks.
I had a few vulnerable areas covered with 3M film to protect against stone chips and also had a couple of small strips fitted to the inner sill kick panels as these are vulnerable when you have the sport bucket seats. The quality and finish of the interior is fantastic and the GTS interior package was well worth the money IMHO as it simply elevates the interior to another level compared to the full and bi-coloured leather interiors I had in my previous 981 Boxsters. A pleasant surprise was discovering that all the exterior plastic is indeed painted as standard in a satin finish black paint as opposed to being left in bare plastic. This finish looks great against the platinum wheels which are also a matt satin effect.
I haven't driven it as yet but Steph loves it. The Cayman R is being collected tomorrow and we'll be sad to see it go after nearly 3 years of reliable service but the GTS is a very fitting replacement. It looks very low and wide on the road and the X73 sports suspension really gives a lot of added visual drama to the car.
And a few photo's of the R next to the GTS.
It's a bit more spartan/focused in the R's cabin...
I'll miss this view....
