Looks like a light blue in some pics and pale green in others. The silver wheels look awesome and give contrast. You could even do black wheels, but I think silver is more classic.
you definitely did wax poetic, and it was a pleasure to read. Very happy for you to have received your car after all this time, and so many contributions to the forum. Please enjoy it to it's maximum.

Hi Milehigh.
Massive congrats !!
I placed my order back in April and with the forums feel we've shared the ride together. Been great following your journey and like others have said I was a little worried how your PTS might come out.
BUT..... that really is a very Special Car !
I'm loving the new Miami blue (as I do love a turquoise blue) but I think your colour looks even more special on the Spyder, silver wheels spot on too....
It's been a ridiculous long wait for these PTS cars, but now it's safely tucked away in your garage it's time to enjoy to the full !!

I took mine to Goodwood yesterday for my first track outing and it was fantastic !
You are going to have a ball....
Enjoy in good health.

congrats , I love the color
I drive both spyder and GT3 on weekends and find myself smiling more while driving spyder. My son who visited this weekend from out of town and this was the first time he drove spyder , said if he has to pick between spyder or GT3 , he will take spyder!

The more I look at the color, the more I like it. It's just a beautiful car. Love the red belts, too! Enjoy every minute of it. Now, put some clear corners on it. The amber ones have to go

Damn, I really need to see this car! The greenish look doesn't do it for me in these pictures (it's not bad, just wouldn't work for my wife and I), while the blue absolutely does! But I can't tell if it's an image processing issue or not!

Either way, it is a beautiful car!

Thanks! In low light it definitely has a green hue. Full sunlight the blue really shines through
