Hi all,

First post as I'm new to the board and eagerly awaiting my TTS cab in september

The car will be being wrapped Carmine red on arrival.


In anticipation, I have been photoshopping some planned mods - excuse the shoddy photoshop work ut let me know your thoughts;

1) Carmine red wrap (the photoshop is a guards car I tweaked)
2) Wheels painted (or dipped maybe) black gloss
3) side skirts wrapped to match body
4)big mouth - centre of bumper wrapped black to create a gaping GT style illusion
5) side Turbo air ducts wrapped gloss black
6) front bumper plastic areas below headlight wrapped polished black
7) Techart style headlight surrounds in body colour (top photo only)

And yes, I have done a terrible botch job converting this coupe to a cab in PS

Look forward to your thoughts guys

 

Did you spec this car to order? If so why not order in the color you wanted?

 

I did spec the car to order

here in the UK, black wheels aren't an option for one piece rims (not sure about elsewhere)

As for colour - price and delivery time! plus If I wrap, I can have it removed and have black (spec'd colour) for second half of the time I have the car if I wish

cost to get carmine red on 991 from porsche;

£2,700 paint
£400 side skirts painted
+ £1,000 to get the front stone chipped protection wrapped if I wish

total £4,100 + 12 week additional wait and worse resale

Cost for complete wrap = £1,520 including inside door sills etc

Having seen the work the wrap company can do and the money saving, seemed a no brainer. Worse case it can always go back to OEM Jet black

 

Black accenting on the front gives the front end a GTRish look... not a good thing IMO.

 

Olly I'm also in the uk and done pretty much what you have done...paint the wheels dipping is not good..pm me if you need a wrapper Or wheel painter...done mine in riviera blue..check the post...

 

Thanks, will PM shortly

 

Cant wait to see it
