My 2006 Carrera 4S arrived - can you say ORANGE!
Well here it is - after a 3 month build date delay, because of the "pure orange" paint, it arrived yesterday!
C4S with Sports Exhausts, Sports Seats, Black Carrera Classic wheels, Aerokit, sport chrono plus, etc. etc.
Car looks beter in the flesh/real life (showroom lights make the paint look lighter and almost metallic - which it isn't!) - the orange is very "vibrant" in real life and has lots of impact because it is flat paint.(as seen at Goodwood!)
Not everyones taste ...but I LOVE it!
Car has certainly been getting a REALLY good reaction in the dealers! It's funny that if you look out in the back lot the dealer he has around 50 assorted Carreras, Boxsters, Caymans etc - ALL either black, shades of grey, or silver - almost feels like you are looking at a Black and White picture! At least mine is a "LOVE IT" or "HATE IT" colour! I'd rather get that reaction from somebody (or any reaction for that matter) , rather than a grunt of ambivalence to "yet another silver Porsche" !!
Porsche only paint the wheel faces for some reason and not the inner rim????
Suspension looks a little raised because the suspension transit chocks were just taken out a minute beforehand! - needs a drive of a few miles to settle down!
lawjdc: Sorry don't know the paint code - just ask for "paint to sample" and "pure orange" (it's nw a well know colour in Weissach) and you will get this !
Anyway here are a few pics from yesterday:

Oh, I love the colo(u)r. I'm still a little ambivalent about the wheels, but that may be the photos. I've seen orange paint/black wheels in person on an Elise, and it was w-a-a-y cool.
With the aerokit, even better.
Good for you for having the nuts to go for that.
