My GB Spyder has been sitting pierside in Emden since 28 JUN. TYD was updated this morning and moved the shipping estimate back to 29 JUL, with estimated arrival at Port of Houston on 19 AUG, and estimated delivery of 26 AUG...which is now about one month later than originally estimated. I'm sure it's been a wonderful target for the seagulls.

Porsche Code PPRPIRF2 if you'd like to see my build on the MY 2023 Configurator...although mine is a MY 2022. Please note that due to an idiosyncrasy of the Configurator, the Chalk Extended Deviated Stitching package I ordered does not appear in the Configurator graphics on the dash, door panels, center console, seats, leather seatbacks, leather fuse covers and doorsills. I also wanted PCCB's however they weren't allowed on my build given the temporary STOP ORDER on them by Porsche AG.

Appears we both have the same estimated delivery. Yep, mine got pushed just like yours. Sure hope they have covers on our cars. I'll check out your Porsche Code, sounds like a great build.

I'm sure we've got the standard white plastic adhesive sheets on the paint and the soft cover on the rag top...however still...that's a lot of exposure I don't particularly relish!

Thanks guys! I was really worried about all the yellow as I did the gauges as well. Turned out great.

Runner, you and I have a similar spec regarding the colors other than wheels. I ordered mine with black calipers as well. I do not have PCCBs. My calipers are painted. I paid for the black calipers to buy me some time….although it wasn’t long before I had them painted. So that was $900 wasted but oh well. The painted ones look fantastic. Don’t regret it for a minute.

I like the Speed Blue interior. I too have the carbon fiber floor mats but I went with black stitching. Looks like you spec'd it with Speed Blue stitching. Love how it all ties together especially the seat belt, door pull and steering wheel.

the door handle loops I got afterwards and I put the carbon mats away if I read more about them before the order I probably wouldn't have got them but they do look amazing. (meant to quote post)

Very nice. The interior is a clone of my upcoming Spyder.
