Tipex Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Might be cheaper to replace them with Renault Espace ones like we used to back in the 90's! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 All the front splitters have been plastic on the gt3s. Mainly because they are always being broken and need to keep being replaced.. Makes sense, i thought your previous one had a carbon one, my mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 If I could have one of these I'd have to pay the extra 3k and have it built in viper green. The lava colour I though was going to be harking back to blood orange, but looks very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lava colour I though was going to be harking back to blood orange, but looks very different. Is PTS 3k ? I thought they would charge more for it than lava and purple. I think there will be a fair amount of people going for viper, Mexico blue and Signal yellow. My view is the unique colours for each particular generation of the RS will be the most sort after. Personally I think viper is for the 997 mk1 RS and that car only.. But that's just me being a geek ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Makes sense, i thought your previous one had a carbon one, my mistake. No they are lol very plastic. I first thought it was a bit cheap for the car too, but when I took to too the track and nailed a few curbs I was quite grateful they were ! I wouldn't be attacking them in the speciale of 918 that way ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 What do people think about the vents in the front wing, above the wheel. From a looks point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 What do people think about the vents in the front wing, above the wheel. From a looks point of view. I don't mind them, I can't remember the figures but they help to create some serious downforce. The RS was never designed to be a looker. To the average Joe it will probably look like a home made Porsche race car.. Or a bit tacky. For me it's all about the drive ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I think I like them, but I'm not sure! But as you say, that's just from an appearance point of view as opposed to functionality. If it's quicker then the vents should be there. God, I wouldn't know how to start making a decision about the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Luckily there is a private viewing in a couple of weeks where they will have a lava and ultra violet car to see ext to each other. One way or another ill manage a decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Do you make a personal decision, or a decision based on future values (not just the RS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 My mates 993 RS is red and it looks good and has made him a lot of money since he purchased it. Viper Green / blood orange for me are from the earlier era that I used to watch at Silverstone as a kid Might be before your time Wopps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Do you make a personal decision, or a decision based on future values (not just the RS). bit of both, you have to like what you drive, but I do t like loosing money ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patently Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Wopps - chatting to someone this morning he mentioned that he saw a black 918 being driven around Beaconsfield recently, the driver obviously really enjoying themselves, spanking it like they stole it...

shao_khan Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 There was some down at Hatfield Porsche just picking theirs back up again after it had a run in with a curb. Did sound nice pulling away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Saw the Lava colour today on a GTS. There is a Yellow GTS with aerokit in same showroom and I have to say the stock kit looks much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 That GTS is actually carbine red, the signature GTS colour, my brother has it in his car. I went to a preview last week where I saw a lava car. I then got Porsche to make me some panels of the purple. lava won hands down ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Saw one at Le Mans, looked frickin' awesome! Lava reminds me of Zanzibar Orange on the original 996 GT3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I only said Lava because that's what the sales told me!! I love the seat colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Zanzibar was a little more bake bean I think ? lava is not as bright as the 991.1 orange or Green but looks a really odd shade. This it will defiantly stand out on the road without looking stupid. Can't wait ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
