[QUOTE=TriggerHappy;17784084]Hey posted this on their shark blue thread - but think this colour combo would look better with GB - anyone Gone full Superman? GB - Classic interior and Aurum wheels! Don’t think I would have the “guts” to pull this off but fun to mess around…



I have an order in a similar spec spyder (waiting on allocation since July) I have gone with PDLS+, black roof, black PCCB’s, leather backed seats and CXX CF interior trim.

Fully appreciate that it is not everyone’s cup of tea but I also feel that the configurator pictures/online pictures don’t do the red interior justice…it’s a deeper darker colour and goes really well with GB in my opinion.

Regards
Smeato

I believe in the Shark Blue thread there is exactly what you're looking for. A month or 6 weeks back someone did post pics of Speed Blue stitching on the whole interior..I think it might have been race tex vs leather...but it looked good! Don't forget to select deviated stitching for the steering case too. I did chalk and my steering case was black unfortunately. (470 vs 640 pricing).

I had to dig, but I found it. #268 from Smegman, it looks great https://rennlist.com/forums/718-gts-...thread-18.html

Default Gt4 stealth

Just got the gt4 back and decided to go stealth ppf. I’m super happy with it! It really catches the light so it was really changing at sunset!

I like the look, but you need to check the PPF on your lower rear bumper corners. Look at the bottom of the bumper near the driver side rear tire in this pic. It appears like the PPF was not properly edge sealed there. This area collects a LOT of dirt and debris, and if that edge is not 100% sealed, then dirt will accumulate rapidly there and the PPF will lift from that point over time.

Great eye,

it’s headed back to get that fixed. You always find something after you drive off! Lol. Thank you for noticing and reaching out!

That red interior sorta works on that dark blue PTS car but I don't think it looks good on Gentian at all. A dark brown would be better than two tone red IMO but even then I think brown leather is more suited to a less sporting car than a Spyder or GT4. I could see having a green on brown look in a GTS 4.0 maybe, but perhaps I'm just a dullard for almost always wanting black for the majority of cars.
