The Canadian configurator shows that choice. IMO, I think it's ugly. It just makes the centre-exit exhaust even more obvious. I'd save the money on that one for sure.

You will always have a car that will stand above other Carreras and you’ll immediately be known as a true enthusiast. Congrats again

Agreed that it is ugly... unless you do something subtle like Agate gray so that it matches the side mirrors, side stickers and rear grill. Then, you might be on to something. I will most likely skip this but still something cool to think about.

Thanks! You’ve got quite the dream collection yourself!

If using the configurator in 3D mode you can choose and see a number of colours. Go non-subtle for the Magnus Walker look. Just kidding; looks best to me in matt black.

Yep, just discovered that 3D mode shows all the options. Agreed that default matte black or Agate looks best. Will skip it.

I would go the understated route if I were building one.....well at least color wise.

Very nice. I'm struggling with GT Silver (the only other color I'd go with for this car). Normally, I would get it on any other model but for some reason I'm attracted to White with red accents for the T.

For my benefit please, which is W and which CWM?
BlueNorther says CWM is cream and is car on left.
Texas says CWM is more grey which would suggest car on right.

Texas, what colour is your GTS - W or CWM? It looks great. I want my T to look similar. Cheers.

White right.
Carrera White left.

White is more cold. CWM is warmer.

I think his GTS is White...might be wrong though, please correct me.

I’m going with White on my build.

Congrats!! Great choice. I'd like to have one too. I'd go silver over white every day. I wouldn't do full leather in that car personally, would go for the minimal look and LWBs personally whether I tracked or not.

If you're at all thinking about resale, the LWBs will add a lot of value.

Thanks! I feel like the car "pops" more with White than with GT Silver. I admit I'm still a little torn between the two but am definitely leaning more towards White. The problem with skipping full leather is you won't get the deviated stitching on the dash and the upper doors. I'm a bit of a sucker for deviated stitching.

I've never sat in LWBs before, so I'm hesitant to spec them for fear of being too uncomfortable. This won't be a daily car for me but I'm still worried about comfort (and fit ... I'm a tall dude). If I can find a car on a lot that has them I'll swing by to have a look.
