While I haven't seen it yet, I built a targa GTS in NBM with the blue top, and went with the bordeaux/black interior. I'll let you know how it turned out in about 28 days.

Personally, I like the red/blue combination, but it isn't for everyone.

Most will go with silver on a blue build. Blue with red is certainly unique....there are a few here that have done it and more power to them.

Uury,
I saw a dark blue gts macan with carmined red leather interior and it looked good

I am considering the alcantara interior package in carmine red or rhodium silver and you are right rhodium silver threading is a little better match with the blue exterior but I just love the carmined red tachometer that comes with the red threading in the carmine red alcantara

I'm pretty sure you can change the background color of the instrument cluster independent of the interior package you choose.

correct, the dials do not come as part of any package and are no packages or other options are required to spec the red dials.

Nope, you can't change the dials to a different color. Try selecting that option on the configurator and it will prompt you to chose a different interior and remove the GTS interior package.

I had the red GTS comm package on club Blau and it looked pretty good. I imagine on NBM, it will be pretty nice as well.

my PTS meerblau Targa has the GTS comm pkg w silver. It’s a bit more understated and conservative. .

Just a thought from someone who spent a lot of time on the Configurator with NBM . . .

Consider the PCCB. And instead of the GTS interior package, think about the extended leather package with deviated yellow stitching. Something about the yellow calipers and stitching that just goes fabulously with the dark blue. Just my .02

+1 on the extended leather package and deleting alcantara. And whether you choose two-tone or single-tone, I love the look of deviated stitching (don't forget the steering column).

I did something similar on a blue car, PCCBs, extended leather with deviated stitching, and deleted the alcantara. I went with GT silver deviated stitching instead of yellow, though, to better match the trim in the interior (I also went with GT silver seat belts. Painted interior trim to bring that glorious blue into the interior, too.

If you do yellow deviated stitching, consider yellow seat belts and maybe gauges to make it really pop.
