Actually, Cobalt, though it looks very nice in these and other photos, is much more complex. Occasionally photographs will have a kind of other worldly pop, like the above examples, as the image attempts to convey the richness of the real color. I have never been able to accurately capture the true depth of CobaltBlau. It is not in any way a bright Subaru WRX blue, not to disparage those cars, but photos will inevitably struggle, and uniformly fail, to convey the differences.

Those who have seen it for themselves, myself included, frequently find it uniquely surprising and captivating, one reason why the color keeps coming up in various threads here and on other forums.

Carpets will be lightweight black, seats have been reconditioned(superbly) I'm going more for a 'Touring' vibe than full on 'race'.

FYI - I've posted the 911Uk forum about the Black Alcantera dash top's, so far another two, so thats 4 in all. Should get Martin(http://www.martrim.co.uk/) to do them for about £180 fitted.
