    A couple of Midnight Blue 997S Pics

    I've had the car about a week now, and just had it properly detailed....I'm very happy with the way the car drives, and the fit and finish is excellant...What I'm not happy with are the electronics. 1 week of ownership (200 miles) and 3 visits to the dealer already with the "system fault, return to workshop" issue...I've had the solenoids replaced, but still have the problem. It's really putting a dampner on how I feel about the car...which is a shame because it's a thrilling drive!!

    Re: A couple of Midnight Blue 997S Pics

    cool pictures!!! That midnight blue is pretty sharp

    good luck with the electronic "gremlins"

    (my dads 997s has a rear brake light that doesnt illuminate most of the time, its still a great car, taking to the dealer to get it fixed soon!)

    Great pics!! and congratulations on the car. Hope it stays clean for you for a while, and the issues are sorted out soon. Did you use a filter for the "star cross" effect?

    I wasn't a big fan of the old savannah biege interior, it was too mustard coloured for me, but I'm very happy with the new sand beige. I've always loved Porsche midnight blue...Hope your car arrives soon
    Jason

    Send me a pm with your email address, and i'll email a couple high res pics...Having to resize the pics for thread posting takes some of the color info/clarity out of the image.

    jfraser: Did you have electronic problems at all BEFORE you had the car detailed, assuming that was the first time the car was washed?

    The car was delivered with the system fault!!!!...Purchased in Penn, trucked to me in LA (closed sided vehicle)....I think the car was washed before it was sent...hence on arrival system fault....Had the 'rectification' work done...solenoids etc. car was fine for about 3 days...then reappeared...sytem was reset...had the car detailed...picked it up....system fault!!! Waiting for a response from Germany at the moment. Apparently this is unusual, as changing the solenoids normally fixes the problem.
