I know what you mean about a 4S vs a 2S. From a driving viewpoint, they are pretty much indistinguishable (but I did feel that the 2S I drove on a test wasn't quite as planted as the 4S). However, that extra 44mm width makes all the difference in my view - it just looks sooo right! Not to mention the full rear lighting strip ...

The aqua blue looks pretty much the same as sapphire blue - is that the case? It's difficult to tell from the photos in the dealer

Love the light strip. I can't comment on sapphire blue but I know Aqua has been dropped as a choice. I am going to get in detailed and will post some pics. I guess you don't see many blue 911s in general. Not that I can afford to order new but definitely think they could expand the normal colour range choice for such an expensive car.



Welcome to the Forum, and just so you are fully up to speed Blue is the new black and aqua is the new Basalt :grin: :grin: great car great colour look forward to hearing more from you get along to some meets in whichever area of the country you are in. :thumb:

Hi Phil, blue is indeed the new black. Basalt is so last year. I am based in Hampshire too, near Yateley. I see you are in Bournemouth? Not sure if you are a footie fan but they are my second team as my wife grew up there. I'd love to come to a meet and see your fabulous machines.


your more than welcome infact have a look in the meets section theres a curry coming up with some of the guys , there are a few of us this way with aqua cars. always a bit quiet for meets this time of year but the south central group are quite an active group especially when its a bit warmer . theres also a meet in the meets section I think its late Jan early feb that guys from Portsmouth, Southampton will be going to along with the guys from Bournemouth and others from this region. have a look and get your name on the list :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Looks great' congrats!

Love Aqua and those are the best 991 wheels, IMO :thumb:

Thank you. I was actually in two minds about the wheels and initially wanted the Plaitnum Carrera S wheels like on the C2S. However I actually think these wheels fill the C4S arches better and look fab. I really like the RS Spyder Wheels on the Gen 2 cars.
 
Lovely car and specs :thumb:

I am genuinely very humbled. What a welcome to a complete stranger. You Sir
are top drawer. Never realised you guys meet up so regularly, would definitely be up for that. I'll have a look at the meets section. Thank you!

Ha - I know. To be honest, it was the cost to change that was important to me and I got that within what I wanted. I got them down £4K from their starting point so felt like a moral victory when in fact there was probably more off to be had.

I am daft as my cars always go out better than they came in but I love looking after them and the C4S will get the same.

Thanks to you all for your nice posts and for welcoming me. Great bunch of people.

I agree, cost to change is all that really matters. £4k movement from an OPC is pretty good going.

I look forward to meeting you and seeing your car at the meets.

but your not a stranger your a 911 owner :grin: one of the things I found so nice about Porsche ownership is the social scene around the marque more so than any other car I have ever owned. 40 odd of us from here went to Germany last may in three groups and all met up and joined 2000. others from around Europe what a great weekend will be doing the same next may. and there are lots of uk Meets mostly during the summer have a browse through the meets section to get an idea of what to get involved in next year. . hope to catch up with you soon :thumb:
 
Welcome, lovely car in the 2nd best colour!

Welcome, lovely car in the 2nd best colour!

Thanks. Being a beligerent Everton fan, blue is my favourite colour.
 
Great car and choice !
Enjoy the ownership 👍
 
:welcome: RB79

Such a beautiful colour :cloud9:

Thanks for all your nice comments, much appreciated. Pick up not until 16th sadly.

I wondered if anyone has experienced Burmester after Bose? I've read a bit about this but wondered what your experiences might be? Also, is Active Cruise useful?

Going to be a long 12 days!
 
I've had Burmester on both my 911's... love it. Seems especially good in the C4 GTS, but that may be the latest PCM which will play .flac files directly from SD cards. Suspect that would sound pretty good via the Bose as well!
 
I love this colour, congrats! If I had the patience to wait for an Aqua Blue model to turn up in my price range I would have jumped at it... I would have also been waiting 10 years :grin:

welcome to the forum!
