    Re: Funny thread

    Official updates have been emailed to OPC in UK. As another poster has indicated, this extends to one new & one deleted interior colour (palm green out, a new red in) and same for an exterior (carmon red replaced by another red). New interior blind for the Targa & a change to the aircon switch.

    No Bluetooth
    No DSG gearbox
    No light changes front or rear

    I'm cancelling my order.

    Re: Funny thread

    Look at the back wheels. New alloys for the std carrera in 18" probably.

    Re: Funny thread

    I don't think I like the rear lights that much, but the front end looks pretty nice.

    For sure as those updates are for MY08 and not for the MY09 Facelift. I think you have to wait another year!

    Re: Funny thread

    nothing new apart that we know, and maybe a repost but I have just found this video:

    Re: Funny thread

    What is the shade of blue called on the front and rear view of the new 997 pictured earlier. Not Cobalt Blue or something brand new? Thanks!

    Re: Funny thread

    As previously posted, I'd cancelled my order for 08MY car as I was told by two dealers that UK spec isn't significantly different i.e no visual changes, PDK, Bluetooth etc. I got a call on Friday to ask me to reconsider my order cancellation as it may be in my best interest to remain on the list. I explained I didn't want to wait for Sep 08 for facelift car & would buy something else in the interim. I was told again that I should reconsider with some cryptic clues.

    Clearly the dealer couldn't confirm exactly what's happening and also knows I'd never buy another car from them again if they messed me around.

    So I'm back on the list expecting the facelift to come early next year (but NOT 09MY - i.e. September).

    I guess all will become clear soon....

    I did the same too, my OPC told me in Jan that the facelift will be out in MY08 which should be sept this yr, on a few more enquiries he said he doesn't think the facelift will be released this year. I'm on my way to Hatfield to collect my deposit back. Once there is an announcement then I will order one, it doesn't make sense lining the pockets of the OPC with the interest on your deposit since Porsche themseleves don't give discounts in the UK !

    I've been dealing with Lee Prendergast for a while and he seems a very nice guy, I'm sure Paddy will not tell me any different. cheers anyway !

    I am not sure but it seems brighter than Midnight Blue when the light hits it. Ferrari has the 'Tour de France Blue' that is close to the color. It is almost like an Electric Blue the way the color pops when the light hits it. Seems like a very strong shade and it isn't another gray for a change!!! Is this a new color that has perhaps not been released yet? Thanks

    Sorry, I was remembering the wrong pics.

    Then I guess it is lapis blue, it is a bit darker than cobalt blue... or it is a individual color.

    I eat my words, just send me your address so that I can ship the car... yeah right.I've been made a complete muppet by my OPC. They gave me assurance that it would be this yr with an announcement in May, what a load of crap. The guys at OPC know nothing and I mean nothing, the only guys that know whats going on are the guys at Stutggart. I have collected my deposit, when it comes out I will place my order !

    Hi neunelf!

    Thanks a lot for posting the link!

    I'm always looking for more and new pics of the upcoming facelift. I although got new pics in a german car magazine "AUTO Zeitung". I will try to scan them and post them here.

    Greetings

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    Hello everbody!

    With the friendly support of neunelf and germancarfans.com I proudly present a few mor new pics of the facelifted 997 Mk II.

    Enjoy them!

    Greetings

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    And another detailed shot (comparison between 997 Mk I and Mk II). Have a look on the PCCB of the MK II, some members guess that the Porsche cars in the futur might get the PCCB as standard brakes. That would be great! ...

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    I like the color (it seems to be midnight or lapis blue ) ...
    Nice new front lights, I like them!

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    ... and another shot ...

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    ... and the next pic for you ...

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    ... sorry, that the pics only show the back of the MK II...

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    ... another comparison... from the back... ...

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    ... I miss the bigger rear view side mirrors. Or will they only be a part of the european versions? ...

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    ... and here is the next pic. In front of the MK II you can see the upcoming GT2 on its final test-miles ...

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    ... and for today the last pic of the MK II from me.

    Have a nice day!

    Greetings

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    IMO that will NEVER happen. Porsche wants to earn money...
