Have you seen the Rhodium Silver Metallic in person? How is it, as compared to the GT Silver?

The silver deviated stitching is a really interesting idea that I have not seen much. I'd love to know how that will turn out...spectacular, I'd imagine.

I have seen the Rhodium in person and it looked amazing IMO. Exactly how I hoped it would look. GT-silver still is an amazing color too. If I'd had the slightest doubts about the Rhodium I definitely would have chosen the GT-Silver.

Thanks!
No I think I'll order a 5-series with wood trim no just kidding. I did think of the wood, but thought the alu would give more contrast and match the silver stitching better.

I have been thinking to go that same way or at least for the espresso leather, but after seeing Rhodium Silver in person, I thought that Agate grey (which is also more brownish than grey) would match the rhodium better. Espresso matches better with the GT-silver IMO.
Best match for Rhodium is in fact black, but I wanted the warmth of a brownish tint in my interior. Espresso does feel a bit more luxurious though because of the natural grain.

Cool Super Build

Suzy,
I like your build it is dynamite and very well thought out. As we locked up on the 2nd (no more changes), we switched to White as we never were able to see a Rhodium in person. We did go espresso/cognac as I was tired of grey (had a few included Panamera). We also like the texture of the natural leather and hope it has better durability. Again can't wait to see pictures next year. our favorite Porsche interior was our 997.1 Cab in Natural brown (almost like the Coach belt leather finish).

Great build!
I have Espresso in my 981S and love it.
No voice control? Or did I miss it?
Congrats.

Thanks natural brown is a very nice color indeed.

Thank you. No you didn't miss it. I have it in my car now and I never use it to be honest...
And being a Swiss car, it probably would be in German, French and Italian (common languages in Switzerland), while my first langauge still is Dutch.
In that case I could get confused what language I had to speak to my car and end up mixing German, Italian, French, Dutch and English all together. I think the car wouldn't even have a clue what to do anymore....

Ausgezeichnet! Looks wonderful! One of my favorite options, which I see you ordered as well, is the lighting design package. With the dark interior, you will love the subtle lighting in various areas of the cabin...when you look into the back seats at night, it will not look like a black hole. It just gives a wonderful warmth and richness to the car...you'll see what I mean.

Regarding postponing delivery...I don't know whether to admire your patience or doubt your sanity!
