Default Interior colour help~

Ordered my car today! It is definitely going to be White (non metallic) with the Aero Kit in High Gloss Black, CF Mirrors, Black Door Handles, Turbo S wheels etc..

I need some help and would love to hear what others have to say about the interior..My biggest gripe is that Bordeaux Red is not really 'red' but more of a burgundy/wine' colour in person. In some videos it can pop, but thats just not the case in person. The config def has it way too bright which is not the case.

I have 4 options..

1) Black/Bordeaux straight from the config.

2) Black/Bordeaux from the config, BUT adding BLACK INSERTS to the middle of the seats. Not sure how this will look, but I've attached some pictures for reference.

3) Full Black Interior, but adding CHALK Inserts to the middle of the seats.

4) Full Black Interior, but adding Bordeaux Red Inserts to the middle of the seats.

If ANYONE has any pics of #2, 3 or 4, please feel free to post. These are pretty rare I assume as I can't remember if I saw the option to change the inserts/middle last year or not. Anyway, please feel free to post any real life pics!

Thanks Guys!




This is literally EXACTLY how the exterior will look. This is a car from Florida.


and another one of the exterior of the Florida car..

Anything but chalk inserts. No matter how much plastic you supply yourself and passengers to keep seats clean they will last a week. In addition, #3 is just downright boring. Your white car is killer but more killer with some drama. Go red/black or black/red.

#3 for me also. I had ordered mine with #1 and have regretted it.

Do you regret it because the red is not really 'red' and more of a dark/wine colour? Or am I crazy? I miss the old Carrera Red (or Garnett Red in the Macan... those were perfect. Im just not a fan of much else either. I wish there was Black/Chalk rather than Graphite Blue/Chalk.. They have it on the 718 Cayman!

Here is a real life pic of #3... Not bad!

I would go with #2. Adding too many colors can ruin the symmetry. Don't make too busy.

Keep it simple and sharp.

I have #1 -- looks sharp -- no regrets. Simple, but classy IMO.

#4 if you want a touch of color without overkill. Beyond that, chalk will show everything - avoid it unless you plan not to drive this beast. Good luck either way. Nice one.
