Nice, nice, nice... what happened to it?

Some great looking cars on this thread...GR Boxster S, DBM Cayman, WoR Boxster S, etc. Just great combos.

Just to clarify the above—I prefer the 19s for feel and, to a lesser extent and very personally, looks. If I wanted grip, I'd take the 20s every time.

So I'd order 19s, personally. But choices are a good thing!

Pete,

Regarding the 19" vs 20", have you done the sport suspension comparison with both sizes to confirm that the feel had to do with the wheels and not the suspension? I ask because I think this would be of value to anyone looking to purchase a 981 and not having the opportunity to test every combo. My assumption is yes but I'm not sure if it was back to back or just based upon memory.

after 5 months and nearly 5000 miles (including a road trip to Southern Alps), was swapped for a 7.2 GT3.

Zeus993

Cool. With out question very different cars but do you miss the 981?

Hi Guys,
I have a bit of a break and thought I would post some photos of some of the Boxsters and Caymans that we have ordered in Calgary. We really tried to cover the entire colour/option spectrum as best we could on these cars (and the rest of the lines too) in an effort to show what is possible with the near-impenitrable option list!

First car is Rhodium Silver on two tone Agate Grey and Amber Orange with yellow gauges. Also 20" Carrera S wheels Satin finished and PCCB's. Keep in mind these are Canadian Prices which are about 13% above the US.

While that might be an interesting discussion (it may be something that should be discussed in a new thread), let's try to keep this thread on topic.

The influence for this car came from a friends 1960 MB 300sl convertible which was a Charcoal Grey exterior with painted body colour wheels and a dark red interior and soft top... Here is the Boxster Version.

Just joining the Porsche family. Just bought a pre-owned 2013 Boxster S. Have a BMW 335i Coupe Dinan Stage 3 as a DD. Am selling a BMW Z4. I have to say that this Boxster S makes the Z4 feel like a covered wagon. I am just sorry I waited so long to join the fun.

I have been meaning to order a White on Agate/Amber Orange car for a while, and your car confirms what I suspected... It's beautiful!

Iromanosky, wow, those are some very adventurous builds. Most of the dealers in the States choose very "Safe" builds (which is understandable). While some are a bit bold for my taste, its a lot of fun to see what can be done with these cars when people go beyond the more common color schemes. Thanks for sharing some interesting builds with us.
