Don’t like the wheel colour, love everything else.

That’s the first CGT that looks shit.
How about not having a sig at all?

It's ok, it's only got a pair of them.
I'd like to see a clear interior pic.
I wonder if anyone's asked the owner why he had it painted a mk2 Golf colour?

I think irrespective of the colours origins, it suits the CGT quite well. Ditch the rest of the changes though, they're gash.

Wonder how much it would be to turn it back to being not-shit? I like the seats - the rest of it can get fucked.

It remains to be seen how the owner of this Carrera GT convinced Porsche Classic to work on the car.
I should imagine by exchanging money for goods and services.

+1 TBH the CGT is just about perfect as is.

I quite like that - I can imagine choosing a similar colour scheme for a GTA car. Not sure if I’d do so in the real world...

Well they sure have ruined that badly haven’t they! Perhaps still preferably to a Gemballa modded monstrosity but not far off.

The gold wheels are truly awful. I don’t dislike the paint colour but it just doesn’t suit the CGT - has to be a monochrome colour. I’d like to see one in Atlas Grey but doesn’t look like they made any.

I like the Green, can't decide if I like the wheels and think the interior would be better in tan.

I'd have it over the usual CGT colours though.

They're oddly fussy cars when it comes to colour.

Silver ftw, yellow is good too. Black is passable but red is terrible. Odd.

Again it’s just being different for the sake of being different. Everyone wants their possessions to be unique even if it makes them look shit - see the number of high end cars with terrible bodykjts and wraps.

Houndstooth with Burgundy Leather is back in fashion in the restomod millionaires club :lol:

I'm sure i've seen a Singer in that colour.

Just spotted the gold Carrera GT badge on the back. No, that's bad.

Are the seats burgundy? They look quite like they're a dark brown, mahogany type colour. Very much like the 911R seats.

They’re brown like 911R.

I think it was 997 Sport Classic that brought Houndstooth back in fashion. I like it.

Wouldn’t mind a set of Recaros with body colour back and Houndstooth inserts for my car. :D
