I went back and forth in my mind for weeks about the power kit. By the time I decided to tick the box it was too late. So now I am paying the price and retro fitting it. Yes, you can order the kit from the factory and your dealer will install it. They have been on back order (apparently a very popular retro fit) but I managed to pick one up that will arrive next week. Porsche recommends to install it before putting any miles on the car (to achieve the full 430PS) so it will stay at the dealer to have the kit installed and I'll pick up the car when I get back from a business trip in a couple of weeks. Before anyone asks no, I don't need someone else to pick up the car and break it in before I get back!

Your interior looks amazing! Is the deviated stitching in white? I wanted to get the white stitching but Porsche informed me that it was not available. Closest thing was light grey. As I wanted an espresso interior I chose luxor beige stitching instead.
Unfortunately we had to forego European delivery because work got in the way. The car has just arrived at the dealer and is having a few things done before I pick it up in a couple of week (including the install of X51 power kit).
I'll post some better pictures of the car after taking delivery.

Thanks Rich 
Deviated stitching is dove grey. Like you I asked about white and was told it wasn't available. So dove grey was the next best option and looks pretty good.

Stitching is not avail in white, however I would recommend Pebble Grey. It is very close and will most likely wear better than a tradition white stitching.
The powerkit has not arrived yet. Porsche calls for 40 hours to install the powerkit.
