Picking up a new toy tomorrow

After a long agonizing wait, my new car is at the dealer. The dealer was kind enough to take pics of the car just after it rolled off the truck.







Can't wait until tomorrow

The car is Lapis blue with a Cocoa interior, 6MT, LSD.

Will post more/better pics tomorrow.

Blue is best!

Congrats! Thanks for sharing.

I also picked up my Blue TT this week (although Cobalt):

Note the GT3 RS wheels. Yes, I admit it, I shamelessly copied Atomic80.

Your going to love it!

You lucky dog! Awesome, can't wait to see full light pics of in/out.

Be safe.

Hey chrisn....do the GT3 RS wheels have the same offsets at the standard turbo wheels? Was anything else required? Same size? Nice pics man. And which handbrake/shifter combo is that? Was that standard or option? Looks stunning...so does all that stitching on the rear center console. WOW!

Again, all respect to Atomic80-- I just copied him on the wheels. Stock fitment with the RS wheels-no spacers.

Don't know codes for shifter and handbrake, but came out of the "aluminum" category.

Fun this about these TTs is that they are all different.

Can't want to see interior shots of winternj's Lapis blue.

RS wheels have a slightly different offset compared to the stock Turbo wheels but not enough to require spacers.

chrisN, no offense taken. I'm flattered that you'd think of me. Your car looks great!

Did the car come with the GT3 RS wheels from the factory or did the dealer add ?? Hate the stock wheels, hopefully u can order GT3 wheels as an option (as with the 996 TT)
Beautiful car !!

Not a factory option, but dealer should be able to get for you.
