You were in the Euro GTS at the meet, I don't remember seeing that car sadly (didn't go to your place afterwards) but that's gorgeous I'd like to see a Guards Red with Can Can red int, but still, that's close

I would suggest that you get a dark colored dashboard, I had to have black cover made for the top of the pod so to reduce reflections during the day.
If you look carefully you can see the stitching in the dash being reflected into the windshield

Were you going 68 mph while you aimed the camera up to take the picture through the sunroof?

I think the sunroof picture was one of those inadvertent pictures,
IE trying to turn on the camera while going fast

If I could go back to the day I bought my paint, my car would be Coral Red Metallic over it's Marble Gray interior instead of Venetian Blue.

Not a stock color but I've really grown to love Satin Black. aka Hot Rodz Flats Black. Tan interior works well, though I'm going to replace all of the dark brown with black someday. Hood is CF so it provides a bit of shiney contrast.

Bit played out by the ricer crowd but still looks great on a "real" car. And I never have to polish the car again. Hides lots of the little imperfections as well.

Hagen, That sounds warm and inviting. Love the color in your avatar. Beautiful!

Here's Pandora's Box in one of her grey moods:


And here she is, feeling a little more blue:



(It does sound like she's a moody b#*&h, doesn't it?

....it's all about the sunshine, really.)

I have several favorite colors - none of which I own, or have owned in the 4 previous or 2 current 928's.
In order, I guess: Midnight blue/silver grey or light tan, Cobalt Blue with grey or lt tan, Amazon Green with light tan, Any dark maroon or dark green metallics with light tan. I agree, dash should always be black for me, and I prefer a light colored headliner!
So - all mine have been black. Current ones are black/tan and black/silver grey!!
Cheers,

I just bought last night.
1979 5 speed with 60K onthe clock.
I bought it because I liked the Dark brown and honey tan combo. Not a common color, it shows better than one would expect. Very early eighties.

Three out of four Open Road Racers are White!!!

I like White with Blue, but I if I had to choose, my show car really would Iris Blue and grey.
