Re: Black / Orange GT3 RS with silver wheels
A few more photos.
After a couple of days I'm getting used to the orange bits but the reaction from ALL my friend is not polite. Pleased I didn't spec the orange wheels.
Have arranged to get the wheels painted black mid Dec. Hopefully this will be best colour comb.
Going for the green risks a hit on resale - green still a colour many won't touch.
The silver probably needs orange wheels (black would look odd with orange decals, mirrors etc). Okay if you're thick skinned.
Not seen an orange car in the metal. Agree this is the defining RS colour but is it just too flash? The orange on my car is very bright.
Albeit only had car two days but interesting to note the reaction of other road users. Not favourable - I get more vans pulling out infront of me in a 'sod you, you flash git' sort of way.

Re: Black / Orange GT3 RS with silver wheels
Since the RS allocation of 11 has been pre-sold in Australia I was actually considering ordering a 997 GT3 with CS pack in white and then getting the wheels sprayed in Red with gt3 997 Decals on the side??
Do you think you could show me some magic with these shots??

Re: Black / Orange GT3 RS with silver wheels
Glad about the wheels being painted black. I was thrilled to see the car in the showroom being detailed prior to being collected next day. Fantastic car. It's the first 997 gt3 rs I have seen close up and in the metal. Black is definitely a difficult colour to properly photograph in the showroom. By coincidence I was at the dealership picking up a 1/43 orange/black gt3 rs and a 2006 gt cup for my collection of miniatures.
