Color is real tough, you are the one that has to love it, Miami Blue is not subtle so it will evoke reaction...

Ha, that’s what I love about Miami... it is unique and doesn’t look anything like the sea of blues out there from Porsche or any other manufacture.

Did you try to replace the blue interior trim with CF?

I debated a lot also on my GB GT4 build about the trim... I specced it with GB trim but backed out at the last minute... I was affraid to get tired of it in the long run. Ended up going CF. If the anthracite would have been darker or if black anodyzed trim from the spyder would have been available I would have gone that route.

No, I am a big fan of painted interior, I have it on my PTS GT3 (Voodoo Blue) and the '15 GTS (Sapphire Blue) that the Spyder is replacing...

If I didn’t already have this, I would definitely spec my spider in Miami blue. Ended up going gentian.

stunning - my problem with Miami is that it doesn't look as blue, or as good, in real life as it does in photos!

Build locked yesterday... Porsche is holding my car in Leipzig till October, which is the next chance my schedule allows me to attempt Euro delivery (date was supposed to be last week but covid delays and travel restrictions nixed everything).

Going through with a controversial colour combo, but in my eyes it looks special didn't have the guts to go full out Classic Spyder with the red top though!

I am hoping to do ED also - but not very optimistic given the current COVID state here in the US and the EU stance towards travel - keep us posted and good luck!

Black rims work but silver looks great too for those who prefer contrast. In either case I would lose the red brake calipers; IMHO they just don't work on a blue car.

Highly subjective but I love red brake calipers on dark colours like blue and black cars.
