    My Black Beauty is here

    I know its not an S, but man I'm having a blast with my new 1st P-car. Don't grill me again guys but I finally took delivery of my Gloss Black (The gloss black in real life is outstanding ) Base with PASM, Sport chrono, 19 inch classics, sport steering wheel, tip and I am loving every minute. The pics I posted (check my folder in the gallery)are not high res so it doesn't do it justice. I already have 1,000km and man its' really tough keeping it under 5000rpms. I'M GETTING TONS OF COMLIMENTS ON THE CAR ALL THE TIME
    I have been doing a lot of spirited driving and the base is definitely a fun vehicle that provides anyone who hasn't had a p car before all and more than they need. I love the chrono option for that extra zip when I need it and anyone with a tip it's a must. Pasm is also definitly worth the money and the 19" classics are real easy to clean and look great. There are some days when I think I should have spent the extra $10grand on the S but I'm just having to much fun on the twisties to really worry about it. So far so good - dealer experience at pfaf porshce in toronto has been great so far although I will be taking in my car next week to get the clear bra on the hood redone - otherwise no creaking, no noises, no electrical malfunctions (i'm really keeping my fingers crossed). Happy driving all

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Black is the best color IMHO! Congrats! Where are the pictures???

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    YAY! Another very satisfied customer. Probably a good thing to keep the RPMs down anyway because you have to learn to drive the car unlike most other cars.

    Oh, I forgot the details, but there are some waxes which are better for black than others. Be sure to find out which ones.


    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Thx Holminator - its' in the rennteam gallery under my name (which I guess I should change to pic911 but its too much hastle).

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Thx MMD So far I've bought the rejex which I think I'm going to use on my wheels/windows to keep the brake dust/bugs off and so far having seen boss69's pics of his car, I'll probably go with the gold class Mcguires on the body.

    check out carcareonline.com good no-BS essays, maybe the one which explains which waxes are better for dark colors. I guess you'll have to deal with the swirl problem and the natural cloudiness of some waxes.


    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Black is beautiful, congrats!

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Your black beauty must be awesome!!!!

    Congrats!

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Carlos and Alex Many thx. Black is truly beautiful and I'm very happy with the sand beige interior. I had only seen it in pictures before I ordered so I have to say that the combo really suits the car. I also liked the teracotta but my other half (women are so perseptive) thought it would be better in the summer having a lighter colour and she was right (I know, I know I cringe when I say that).

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    i have the similar setup as you pic911s except mine is a basalt black/sand beige but it's a cab so i know how you feel!

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Beautiful car

    I would love to see a comparison between Basalt Black and regular Black, has anybody seen both colours at once?

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Ya i think black is more shiny and basalt black is a little dimmer with metallic spots..not a huge difference unless u compare them side by side! basalt is sexier thou cuz its different and unique...but no one will recognize the difference so what da hell!

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Looks great- excellent color combination! Congratulations!

    Re: My Black Beauty is here

    Re: My Black Beauty is here
