Okay, so perhaps not everyone's cup of tea but my mum who's in her 70's loved the colour of her old yellow 986. She had that car for 6 years or so before getting rid of it about 3 years ago. Recently we found her a great condition low mileage dark blue 987 with fsh which despite being a fantastic car she couldn't get her head around the colour... Given this was such a great car and the likely impossiblity of finding another similar but in yellow in our market... well anyway fast forward 4 weeks and problem solved with a current generation Porsche yellow make over.

*Other Porsche colours are available but are not as desirable as a yellow Porsche :thumb: :worship: :worship: :worship:
The yellow club is very exclusive

It's a yes from me, anyways dark coloured cars are the work of the dirty car antichrist!
 
Bloody marvellous :thumbs: respect to your mum for great taste :bow:

Let's start turning them all yellow one wrap/respray at a time :thumb:
 
Is it a wrap or actually painted? Looks great either way - personally I love yellow on a porsche.

It's a full respray, the entire car was stripped, including doors, boot, bonnet, guards, including all applicable linings, etc. totally removed. Every nook and cranny painted. You'd need to look incredibly hard to see any sign of the old colour anywhere. They did a fantastic job. I think all up the labour charge was around 50-60 hours most of which was the strip down and rebuild.
 
very nice , love Porsches in yellow :thumb: :thumb:
 
OK, I'll go against the grain and say that I would never, ever have a car of any brand in yellow; it's just too, err, bold for my taste.

But [cliche alert] life would be very dull if we all liked the same thing, so well played on getting the car how you, or your mother, likes it. Vive la difference, as they say in Dusseldorf.

Well done to you and your mother. 8) Hope I'll still be driving a Porsche when I'm in my 70s.

Good health to you all!
