that is one gorgeous car and IMO you improved the interior tremendously because I really think the grey and beige is very tepid and unappealing...

I can't seem to find the pictures that show the variations in the two cars but my 928 (all original paint) is a bit more green than my C2. The 928 also has a much finer metallic in it. Both nice although I prefer the color and more corse metallic on my C2. We matched the paint in the door jams which we know is original.

Best comparison shots i have not sure if it shows.

BTW nice interior work.

Lensey,

that looks classy and well executed. Did you dye the linen vinyl bits? I have raspberry gray which is very similar. I really like the plaid you chose. May i ask who did the interior work?

Thank you, it’s not a track car so I wanted a clean sporty look with classic 90’s style 😄.

The tartan is from Lochcarron in scotland, it has Alcantara dash, steering wheel, door tops and roof lining with all other bits in Nappa leather, Also has sports seats and I’ve also done away with the old piping and everything is double stitched in light grey all excuted brilliantly by SF Car Trim near Colchester👍

Love the interior!! And the alcantara touches are bang on!
(Got me seriously thinking about that grey alcantara now)

When I saw that I thought.. if only it was in slate grey... and then lo and behold 😎

You have a fantastic looking car!

Great colour nonetheless. What generation is it from?

This colour never seizes to amaze me, I now see what you meant about the lustre. Your Amazon 964 has a much richer tone than mine;
Oh and the side decals suits its character very well. More ideas

Thank you all for contributing, and please keep these great interpretations coming. I hope we can all have the capacity to appreciate what others do with their OWN cars to express their personalities. I personally prefer darker to lighter interior colours but I couldn't help but smile in admiration at another member's cool interpretation with diamond pattern inserts, the whole design gave the colour a totally different appeal that I very much liked.. that's what makes the Porsche community a great gathering and keeps the hobby alive.
