Question 930 Marine Blue Interior Color Match to Lloyd Mat Color Question

Hi Folks,

I have an '88 930 with Marine Blue color interior (partial leather). Does anyone know what Lloyd mat color is the best match among the various options: blue, Metro blue, dark blue?

It's hard to tell from image samples available on-line (e.g., Pelican Parts etc..).

I have consulted this with a few Porsche Dealerships (some who sell the Lloyds mats as well) and even using the actual Porsche interior color code, but no one seems to know the answer.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Humberto-

Why not call/e-mail Lloyds and ask for carpet samples?

I went through the same process years ago with my 930 and blue interior ... Requested samples and picked the closest color to match. Since then, I made my live easier by changing out the interior to black carpet.

Could always go with deviated mats, looks good sometimes.

Thumbs up

Hi Folks,

So, for future reference, note that the "dark blue" mat color from Lloyds is the perfect match to the Porsche factory Marine blue color interior. Coupled with yellow Turbo script, the mats really look like the came from the factory!

We (well, actually she, I won’t get to drive it much) just ordered a Biscay Blue Base model. On the internet, we found the color to be quite awful (a friend used the term, hideous). We were able to scope one out in person and my God, it is beautiful.

This is our first Porsche and we’re quite excited about it.
