Default Mexico Blue C4S with Carrera Red Leather interior

Anyone think this is too crazy? Planning European delivery and always loved the red leather with carbon fibre, had it in my 1997 Boxster. Really like Mexico Blue too. The Aqua Blue with Red looks good, so why not this?

I would try to find some photos of that combination before spec'ing it to be sure you like it. I am way too color conservative to have an opinion, others will probably chime in with their opinions or links to some pics.

Mexico Blue = incredible. Paired with red leather - not for me, but to each his own.

2 bright colours screaming for attention may well be too overwhelming ..

a lighter blue might be better?

I think the "odd" color combos get all the attention at meets. Go for it!

Someone on the forum has a Boxster in Aqua Blue / Red Leather. A quick google came up with this link. While not the same, should give you an idea.

I love Mexico Blue as an exterior color. Love Carrera Red leather as an interior color. But for my taste, the combination together just doesn't work.

I'd go Mexico Blue with a black, grey, brown or tan interior, maybe even sea blue. I'd go Carrera Red with a silver, grey or white exterior, maybe even a red or black exterior, but never with yellow, blue or green. Two loud colors together just feels like your in the middle of a screaming match - IMHO. But that's just my taste.

Thank you all for your input, it will be expresso inside MB outside likely. I am going to ask about amber orange with two tone black. Luxor is too light for me. Umber is too grey.

Just that those odd color combo cars WON'T get the attention at the re-sell lot or classifieds.

I'd say this car (http://www.flickr.com/photos/beverly...sches/page109/) can easily have red interior!

Yes but that is not the blue in question.
