 OMFG, that looks truly stunning - probably my fave colour. Graphics look good too, can't believe some are removing theirs, or de-speccing them! Yellow seat belts would look good

Yep, the yellow belt would match the PCCB calipers  Why did they not offer Riviera as a standard colour...

Colour is Mexico Blue, which is slightly darker than Riviera Blue. Picked car up from Stuttgart yesterday.
I am going to remove the decals on the front and rear wings, but leave the decals on the doors to see how that looks.
Car is fantastic - just getting to know it on the roads local to the 'Ring at the moment.
Cheers

Yes the colours are quite similar especially in bright light. Here is a pic taken at the factory collection which shows the colour fairly well.  Cheers

Passed by Glasgow OPC this afternoon and saw a 4S in this colour (don't know which version) parked up behind the dealership and nearly drove in to an oncoming Panamera! It's a really striking colour and my absolute first choice when my numbers come up on Saturday

Well done mate. Best colour combo I've seem too. Been to Silverstone today to get the experience that they give you after your purchase. Well, my girlfriend took it actually, but hey ho. She drove the GT3 til she wore the pads out and then they stuck her in the grey/red RS and I just looked on thinking PTS in a decent colour, minus the graphics, would look so much cooler.....and less try hard!! Enjoy fella

Porsche missed a trick here and should have dipped into the colour palette of the early RS's such as the 2.7 RS and 964 RS. The RS variants should NOT be a shrinking violet more shrieking violence methinks. Stefan the RS in Mexico Blue looks the Dogs Danglies and agree with removal of the Harry Moss stickers. Black wheels and black side script are enough. Just need a lottery win and I'd be chasing a new one in same spec.

Glad you finally made your choice mate. Think it looks excellent in Mexico and certainly worth the wait to get a bright colour as thats what you want. Look forward to your views on the car.
P.S - probably worth a geo before your first track day. Mine went through tyres very fast as the geo out the factory was all over the place.

Thanks. Re the geo, that's good advice and I certainly plan to get that done as the steering wheel isn't set 100% straight, and there is also a slight wheel wobble at 120 clicks. I'll get Reading to sort everything (including removing the wing graphics) as part of the UKI PDI. Have now done 600 kms in the car; it's obviously fantastic but I am really enjoying the super light flywheel, the torque of the engine and above all that amazing steering - direct and feelsome. I'm booked on the Destination Nurburgring track event on 23 August, which will be my first chance for a proper track outing. Can't wait. Cheers

Intresting that your wheel isnt 100% straight. Mine was a little like that, but hafway through my third trackday at Pan Amos my wheel was more than an inch to the right! It took a fair bit of geo to get things right. Really shabby out the box these cars but very sweet when you get it right! Bloody great car, hope I get to see yours at a trackday somepoint.
