Austin, if you worked in any different career you wouldn't see the difference between the 100%K, 99%K and 98%K that your body panels are... you probably should just give up on owning cars altogether because even if all the parts are sprayed at the same time, the plastic will never perfectly match the metal! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.png" class="smilie" alt="" />
That being said - Basalt Black Metallic sounds fantastic.

Blau, great choice, best colour ever Slate Grey Metallic, well done. Now for the bad news, respray looks great...I'm jealous! Alloys look great...I'm jealous! Splitter looks fab ( does it turn you on baby?). Now the good news for me, it's not a Sport! Ha ha! Well I have to appease my petted lip a little bit don't I? Great looking car.
Take care of it.

True. Although not a Clubsport, it is the only Slate Grey coupe that came stateside with M030/220 options...so I'm halfway there!

Just had another peek before signing out. Is your alloys real Porsche or aftermarket? I'm hoping you'll say aftermarket to throw me a bone, but truly I hope their the real deal.

The wheels were part of the M030 package, but also were available separately as an option. They are 17x7.5 et65 in front and 17x9 et55 in the rear. I am thinking about getting some spacers as the wheels could fill the wells a little better... Mine could use a refinish - another one of those "good from afar but far from good" situations - previous owner had issues a few times with parallel parking against a curb.

Adam - ha, you're probably right. I think the solution is to never let my car out in direct sunlight. In the shade, it looks great!

Doesn't get much shinier than this. Fresh detail two weekends ago.

The amount of things I've scraped or bumped with the Design 1 Racing splitter...it has held up better than I ever could have expected. I've almost scraped a hole through it on the passenger underside, but the splitter is in one piece with no cracks whatsoever.
