You are actually right. But if you stop the clip at 0:08 they look 100% acid green. Stupid cameras and computers

on these gt2 seats (e.g. UK market) make them look very special!
You think dealers totally missed this option? They have samples and the configurater included it. The truth is nobody would order an orange interior for stock in large quantities. It simply wasn't attractive to many, many people.

Haha I believe we do. If not for the fact that it was always mentioned and brought up, he might have forgotten he had actually ordered such a car.

You said dealers overlooked it. That is not correct. Nobody liked it. That's the truth.

What a stunning interior, I love it. And never heard of or seen it before. Eduardo, thank you for history as always.

I would take that interior in a heart beat. Reminds me of my wife's MDX interior special colour.

Reminds me a little of cinnamon in an E46 M3. I had a convertible and it was special with all that leather showing.

Loved that interior combo on a white car and also on a British Racing Green (21D) Boxster I ordered for inventory. Great look to it and much better than the current brown festival I am enduring now with the interior options...

That's a great interior. Would suit a Targa

Anybody daily drive their aftermarket painted or powdercoated calipers? How are they holding up? How often do they need repaint etc...?

They're popular with folks who want less expensive consumables for tracking their cars that have factory PCCBs and/or want to preserve they factory PCCBs in pristine condition to put back on before resale.

Best of both worlds really: larger diameter iron brakes for higher performance than the standard iron brakes, lower running costs if you put a lot of wear on them while tracking, and they preserve the yellow calipers factory PCCB look, although of course it's obvious to the naked eye that the discs are iron not ceramic since they're slotted.

See links here for the front and rear Girodisc sets.... also need to buy the brake pads for them.

would those rotors fit on a 991.1 TT with GT3 yellow calipers?

Footsoldier must have had inside info on the speedster and 992.
