Ahh that would explain it. The order has not been frozen yet so I’m trying to visualise what it would look like. From the lack of existing ones I thought I might be making a mistake as I’ve found quite a few GT Silver with black roofs and the Platinum wheels but still struggling to find one with a red roof..

Aurum not Platinum

You aren't the only one. I've never owned a black car, but his may be my first. I'm thinking the ceramic coatings available will help keep it cleaner. Silver stitching for me as I already purchased 911R pepita LWB seat inserts.

Doesn't really make a difference on a black car. You still get all the swirls and marks. My first Spyder was black and it was ceramic coated. Looked great but it showed every little mark; most annoying was that it always showed the fingerprints on/around the door handles. Had to constantly wipe those down. I looooove that black car, but I decided that I just can't do black again. I've owned three black Porsches, all looked awesome when new and clean, but showed every mark and nick over time.

I second that, all my bimmers were black, and loved it in that color but maintenance was a bit of a hassle during specific seasons (pollen-magnet). Now having owned other colors like silver, etc., the difference is night and day on amt of elbow grease to keep the car looking "clean".

Would love to see a car with platinum wheels and PCCBs with calipers painted black, if anyone happens to have one...

I had a black E39 5 series years ago that was the softest paint I've ever had on a car. You literally could not touch the car with anything other than a soft cloth without leaving a mark. I sold it after about 30k miles and the paint looked like the car had 100,000 miles on it.

too many words and not enough pictures in this thread.

Brain fart! Indeed, I had the Aurum in mind!

About the Platinum: its standard on the GT4, while the Spyder gets Silver as standard. I hate Silver wheels on a yellow car. Opting for Black or Platinum is the same premium. Somehow, paying extra for a color that's free on the GT4 twin isn't feeling good. And I had Platinum on my previous yellow 981 hence I wanted at least the wheels in another color.

Maybe one day I will have the wheels painted in Slate Grey..

Reality sux. But I still might give it a try.

That'll be interesting to see. One of the elements that appeals to me is the contrast to everything else that's black.

Archimedes

It's hard to resist. Every time I look at that black Spyder, I want to change my build. Must....resist...

But a GT4 owner has to pay for silver or black or aurum...

Opps, correction, silver is free on the GT4!!

Illusive991

We only have to pay for Black or Aurum, Silver is a free option. Also have to pay $3,300 more base!

Westcoast

Lets see $3300 more but you get Satin wheels for free, the new math says its only $1820 more for all that metal and glass in the roof and hatch!

Illusive991

It's all dead weight, right? Should have went for the roof delete.
