Did a Motorsport look on the the GT4

[MrDemon]

Changes the whole look on a solid colour car, I really like it on a GT product and loving the black end plates.

 

[Motorhead]

The black end-plates and GT4 logo look good D but I'm not so keen on the Porsche badging myself, particularly that on the spoiler (could be useful for the police helicopter to locate you though..!).

Each to their own.

It looks awesome to me. I'll take it []

Agree with Motorhead. If you are seeking opinions; lovely car, nice colour, but not a fan of aftermarket stickers shouting 'Porsche' - rear spoiler especially.

 

[MrDemon]

Spoiler is the one most people are not keen on, but it is Motorsport and all the best RS have it on the wing, as do all the race cars.

The side stripes make the car imo on a solid colour, my R and my Spyder came with them as standard. And I always missed them on the GT4

One has to remember we are buying and driving GT cars not basic 718's or Macans

A Silver GT4 does not cut the mustard we are buying lifestyle look at me cars really as none drive as well as the old cars or are as much fun, they are "look at me cars" sorry to say, so you may as well do a job on it ;-) (At least I am honest about it lol)

I still have more fun in my R but it still has the side stripes none are really after market either they have Porsche part numbers :-[)

graphics always split opinion (which I am not seeking lol just showing off the car and what I do to it) which is a good thing, but I love the look.

 

[Twinfan]

Where did you get the decals and the spoiler end pieces Mr D?

 

[MrDemon]

this was the car before looks bland now lol

had the end plates wrapped at Reep, I bought the stickers from http://www.designstuffonline.co.uk for £65 rather than the OPC price of £280 !

 

[Twinfan]

Nice one, cheers. Worth noting in case I'm incredibly lucky and manage to get a 718 GT4 allocation [8D]

I like it........but then I'm an old boy racer.

Suits you to a tee David.

Looks good David. Where will see it out and about soon? []

 

[ian harvey]

I quite like it. Did you consider picking out the GT4 lettering on the endplate in yellow plus the bonnet and roof stripes look good on yellow and white cars in my opinion?

 

[MrDemon]

Not a fan of the bonnet stripe, and I went for the RS and new GT3 look with the end plates again not a fan of the lettering on them some people do.

I wanted it to more match the 991 RS and my Cayman R

Looks good David. Where will see it out and about soon? []

Good question, I went to A Porsche meet at the weekend in it (life style drive out) ;-) nice line up.

 

[AndrewCS]

this was the car before ...

Perfect !

 

[MrDemon]

not very exciting though looking like that imo.

 

[Twinfan]

True, it's very boring for GT car.

 

[CarreraGTS]

i think it looks good Mr D ... may do it on mine

 

[John Sims]

I agree that without the car looks a bit vanilla but there are elements of the decals which don't seem to sit perfectly with the shape of the car ... as if they were made for something else.

I can take or leave the Porsche on the spoiler. I find it a bit "shouty" personally but otherwise it does looks quite cool.

I think it is the shape of the front stripe detail which is jarring with me. It doesn't echo the shape of the front vent or any of the obvious contours in that area. As such it looks like it is designed for a different car. I would even go as so far as to say it would look better without the front bit at all. I actually like the proportions, visual weight and continuity of the front and the small pieces of vinyl upset that.

All that said, the lines behind the front wheel and across the door look damn awesome.

 

[flat6]

I think it looks great. As you say Demon, those decals are a factory look, even if not catalogued against the GT4. Also agree that it looks better that bonnet and roof stripes.

Thumbs up from me

 

[am1985uk]

As John Sims says, the decal in front of the front wheel doesn't look quite right. I hesitate to ask, but is it possible that Mr Demon has swapped over left for right by mistake? If you imagine the same piece upside down it matches the line of the radiator opening better.

Just my sixpen'orth.
