Very well said. I’ve been a member of many car forums and Carpokes is the first that really has a family feel where we all can share in the experience of owning these wonderful cars. The best way to repay Tom is to ask your friends to join, reply to posts, and if you have any questions or special interest, please start a new thread.

Welcome to all the new members.

Everyone have a different preference when it comes to colour choices, red is an option as Hawk mentioned but if you’re conservative and prefer more of a subtle colour I’ll go with GT silver, it picks up some of the silver/grey trim from the upper part of the dash and the doors
Aventurine Green is a fantastic color for the GTS. Will be stunning!

You mentioned an all black interior. Are your belts black as well or did you spec red to match your calipers? Either way, but particularly if you went with red belts, I would go with the red bezel. Please keep in mind that it will add a real pop of color and will be quite noticeable - check Tom's pics.

Thanks for letting me onboard and looking forward to contributing to the forum.

Currently have my trusty old porker (997 C4S) which is without sports chrono so will have to remain bezel less alas. However, I am awaiting the arrival of a Taycan CT4S so would really appreciate a Gentian Blue bezel if at all possible? Postage would be to the UK and I would be very happy to add to the paint fund as well if you’re accepting contributions.

All the very best, Mark
