Man, I love those wheels. Your car looks like the quintessential Porsche, especially in that delivery shot.

Your new car looks stunning! Many congratulations - I love the GT Sliver and blue interior, very classy (but I would say that), and the wheels look great too. Would really like to know how you get on with the adaptive seats.

Happy Driving from Devon7
