Well I collected my car after its week at the wrap-shop; with what I must admit, was a healthy dollop of trepidation. Had somebody slipped something into my beer; had I lost the plot - YELLOW- should I have gone gloss or matt???

In the event I am pleased to say that I am smiling from ear-to-ear; this is the Porsche I always really wanted, not a "safe"colour, but one that announced that owning such a car was about having fun :)

Of course not to 90% of folk's taste, but floats my 997.

:thumb: looks great mark. The Matt finish is a great change. The black bits really set it off and always make a yellow car pop.
 
Thanks, it really does look fantastic in bright sunlight.

Bit of a cliche to say, but photos can't really do the matt finish justice. It creates a very strong presence "in the flesh" so to speak. :D
 
Looks great.

Respect for the bold colour choice :worship:
 
Respect 👍👍👍👍 looks the dogs dangly bits!
 
Superb mate and top marks for being so bold and doing what you want :thumb:

:agree: very nice indeed. :thumbs:
 
Looks great!

I am a big fan of "do what you want" - it's your car - so why not??!!

Enjoy!
 
Would be nice to see more bold body colours leaving the factory. Interior colours are best left somber however.
 
Thanks for your kind comments. Again, I must admit to losing some sleep on this once I pushed the button. Of course it is fully reversible, but even so...still massively happy and no regrets now. :mrgreen:

In a huge coincidence, when I arrived to collect, I was told that another potential customer in a 911 had dropped by considering a change to his dream colour - yes, yellow again. He could not have timed it better to see one in the flesh; made up his mind and apparently he went for a gloss finish.
Anybody on here I wonder?
 
Fair play for having the cojones to do this! It looks good to me mate.
stupid question; is the cleaning regime different to paint? ALSO- how do you polish it if its matt? .

it's better than Mario Ballotellis camo Bentley wrap
 
all areas done?

May be a silly question but how far do they go with the wrap? Does it do the door jams and inside of the doors as an example and less important but inside bonnet and boot?

Does the matt mean washing only from now?
How long does it stay on without coming away.

Love the yellow I was looking for a yellow 997.2 great way to fully offset stoenchips lol.

regards
Glen
