Unhappy Have I made a mistake?

Hi All,

Ordered my 991.2 Targa 4 GTS few weeks back (managed to get a cancelled order build for this month).

I have gone with Agate exterior with Black and Bordeaux interior and carbon interior pack. I thought the GR dials would compliment the 'red interior environment' - have a made a mistake here? I completely understand its down to opinion but does anybody have an interior spec similar/have any photos? Do the red's clash that much?

Thank you!

Sounds great.

BTW if you really don't like it when you pick it up ...... the faces can be changed out to a different color.

Enjoy the wait.

Don't second guess yourself! I'm pretty sure I have seen the combo together although I don't recall where. But it looked great.

I have a .2 T GTS with GR on the SC and a black interior. I think you were asking about how that would go against Black/Bordeaux, which was in my last car and honestly I think it will blend very nicely- and don’t worry, you’re going to forget about everything once you start driving it! I love mine!

I think the blackness of the steering wheel, the top of the dash and the surrounding black trim pieces (A-pillar, upper door panels etc) make the gauges a perfect spot for a red accent! I think it jumps out and compliments the seats and the lower dash extremely well and does not clash at all IMO.

I could be wrong...my wife tells me I often am, but I thought you could only get the dials and SC clock face in black, racing yellow, white or guards red.


[ETA: I guess my wife is correct....a quick look at the Turbo S configurator shows you can get the dials in Bordeaux on a Turbo S.]

As darzifa suggested,.....why not just go with the Bordeaux dials?? They match the leather better compared to Guards Red. (yes, I think there is a bit of clash there)

Agate with Black/Bordeaux is a great combination. Did you ever think of doing the painted interior pack instead of CF? Just might be another options to take a look at.

If it's not too late switch to Bordeaux Red from GR and don't look back.

This! I would be concerned about the GR being to bright against the bordeaux

yeh I thought it might have been (otherwise that does look gorgeous).

your right I could only have got the dials: GR, Yellow and white, or saved myself circa £800 and gone with black. I am concerned its to late to change as the car is expected at OPC 1st week of November.

The closest I could find on the net with a Bordeaux interior (I have Black/Bordeaux) is this:

I still think you'll be fine. The GR dials are really set into the black area...and I feel will have enough separation to not clash with the Bordeaux. I'm thinking the black surround will tame the color difference down enough to not be all that noticeable.
