Great build.
As you see I have silver carrera classic wheels; love the sparkle, but have to say would have gotten platinum had it been available when I found mine. I have Sport PASM and 5mm spacers and always think it looks and feels "just a bit more right"- with no real comfort penalty. Heated and cooled seats and the upgraded headlights (with their dark inserts) are major functional goodies to consider.

I thought it was basically Bose or Burmester?
Oldman40 - If it's a MT, I would recommend the Sport Steering wheel.
The MF stalk that comes with it does everything except adjust the volume.
Good luck and congrats on fulfilling your dream...

Congrats to the OP! Love the cab so much I'm going to drive it through the (admittedly somewhat mild) winter here. The convertible top construction and operation is wonderful imo - the only thing I could add to the design would be to have the air conditioning / heat controls operate on two different modes like recent Audi convertibles do. (you put the top up, it remembers the last open-air settings you had. Close the top, it remembers the previous closed settings)
It's a small nag on my part. I adore the car. Drove top down in a rainy cold mist this morning with the PSE on (of course), stretching the manual gears out to hear the beautiful flat 6 just behind.
you almost can't go wrong on these cars unless you leave out the PSE or perhaps an upgraded (Bose or Burmester) sound system. The cabin is actually quiet enough to hear the stereo in the 991.

Not what you'd call automatic, but reduces it to one-button selection. Always assuming my skim-reading memory is correct.

There's an upgraded Bose system available?

The MF stalk is shown in the right hand picture (to the lower right hand side of the steering wheel).
The stalk does not control the volume, which is controlled with the traditional button.
