Remaining items I couldn’t do but will do through Exclusive Option:

  • Climate control panel in Chalk leather
  • Door armrest pad in Chalk leather
Really nice! Great job with the custom interior design Chalk interior trim also looks great and ties it well together.

Personally am planning to add Deep Sea Blue seat belts and door pulls at some point in the future to add a bit of a blue shade to the interior.

Originally I really wanted Cognac/Cohiba colored seats but it was not going to match with anything else inside the rest of the car if I only did the seats, plus having alcantara in the mix complicates it a bit more. Was wanting something along the lines of Heritage Package in the 991 Speedster or the two-tone interiors in the standard models but did not want to pay somewhere along $10-15k additional for something that was available for much less on other models.

Look at the heat coming out of the middle radiator vent and sweeping across the windscreen.
you wouldnt need a heated screen in one of these cars!

pit lane chaos.

I absolutely love your interior choices and future upgrades. If you wish to incorporate some additional seat insert materials, have a second set of pasha blue made and change them out with the petito to mix it up. The curves on the Spyder would look great with pasha.

I also did very little at the moment (50 kms) and had same impression, they also feel less grabby at low Speed.

Absolutely in love with this colour (and car!). A few pics below from the wine country tours and airstrip rally.

Just picked up a couple of weeks ago.

Should I change the wheels to 718 Sport wheels in Aurum?

Congrats! Don’t change a thing. Looks gorgeous. Are those silver or platinum wheels? Any interior pics?

The description says: "Platinum Silver paint finish with machined and polished spoke edges and outer rim"

A couple of interior pics before I picked up.

Such a beautiful color combo! Congrats on the new car! It's a shame they are getting rid of the natural espresso and cognac interior options.

Best,
PB

It really is a shame Porsche’s dropping it. It’s a gorgeous interior I wish I could have gotten without having to pony up for CXX
