Was that remark to me? or another de-badger?
Sorry for delay - yes! I was referring to this....

I had it removed because I don’t like writing on the car, who is it helping? I would have binned the “Porsche” across the light bar if it were possible too!
Gven this statement, why go crazy highlighting the GTS logos on the side blades?

It looks good! But cannot help but wonder about this.

I’m not the OP Paul and was simply answering the generic question as to why people debadge. I don’t have GTS logos on the side, partly because, as stated, I don’t like writing on the car, but mostly because I have an S… 😳

I drove away in a car which I had ordered over 9 months ago in the 22 GTS.

On my way to the dealership my random music playlist decided play Dolly Parton - Jolene & AL Green - let's stay together back to back. I chuckled to myself as if the car was pleading with me to not be swapped :lol: (I spend alot of time alone so yeah, my mind went there) I might name the new one Jolene though :?:

Any feeling of historic sentiment soon vanished when the drape was removed and seeing crayon grey for the first time. No music on the exit, just exhaust notes!

I believe that I somehow slipped through a few configerator gaps as the PCCB option was removed very soon after I placed the order. The dealership was unable to confirm that they had been fitted until last month so it's been an odd order process.

Some pics below. Smiles all the way home .

Absolutely loving the OP's car.

And bravo getting the PCCBs. I chickened out, given the cost. They do really make the car though.

Our cars would have been near identical when i get mine next month! But OPC told me no to PCCB’s :cry: so i went for the next ones down with the black calipers.
