Love the base!

Got this today at Altanta PEC:
991 C2
MT!
19 inch wheels
no sunroof, Sport Chrono, or other add-ons
(I did "splurge" on GT silver paint, Black-Bordeaux full leather, and 14-way seats.)

Felt like to burn some calories today so I washed my .2 base, it's been 5 years since I last hand wash my own car. Getting old and lazy. (ignore the wheels, I didn't touch them as my ordered cleaning formula hasn't arrived yet)

*CarPro Reset and Hydro2 Lite were used on this wash*

Are your headlamps the PDLS? I love the dark look but it never looks that dark in the configurator. I'd prefer not to jump to the PDLS just to get black inclusion

Yes, I have PDLS as option included in the Premium Package when I configured my car, but like you said, I never really notice that it's quite the black finish until today. The photos are iPhone pictures and not modified in any ways, so I guess the colour displayed is quite accurate.

Very nice. I think it looks incredible with the light color contrast (I am looking guards red or racing yellow) and I'd much rather save 2k for something that's not a performance option. It just seems odd that it looks so light (silver) in the configurator

Mine was delivered Feb 2017.

• Base C2, Night Blue Metallic with black/bordeaux red full leather
• 7-speed manual, standard 19-inch wheels
• 14-way sport seats
• Leather interior trim
• GT Sport steering wheel
• Gear lever in carbon fibre
• Porsche Entry & Drive
• Dealer installed: 3M PPF and Pirelli Winter Sottozero tires

Traded in my 991.1 S; like the 991.2 a lot better: nicer ride, easier to drive, lighter clutch, more precise shifter, lots of low-down torque, love the red leather interior, 19-inch wheels, rear-view camera and standard PASM. Wes-iphone-March-2017 1598.jpg

Lovely car, very similar to mine, down to the leather covered trim, dash, and door panels. I almost went for the Night Blue Metallic, and also considered GT Silver Metallic before settling on the Agate Grey.

I've also got the 18-way Sports Plus seats, Heated Multifunction Steering Wheel, and the Premium package.

Csaba:

I must say your Car & Driver article "How we spec'd it: Porsche 911" was an inspiration, thank you (recognized your photos). I agree with all your reasoning for your build, though I was so close to getting a C4, being from a cold winter climate in Western Canada (Calgary). The base is more than enough car, and a big part of my build was the 'unabashedly and unashamedly base 991.2" mentality: simple, low-key and unpretentious, yet still a classic 911.

Just thankful and appreciative that we can enjoy these fantastic machines.

I'm just blown away with the 7MT, clutch, ride, and refinement that this sport car offers.

wow! the Night Blue with black/red leather combination turns out to be so much more attractive than I imagine. I've always been thinking now that if I can spec mine again, I'd do either Graphite Blue with red/black or Night Blue with red/black. Beautiful car indeed, congratulations.

Ya, I agree, black/bordeaux goes with a lot of colours.

See this thread, post #144, an old graphite blue-like 911 with a red interior.

https://rennlist.com/forums/991/9505...see-em-10.html

There's also a recent Night Blue thread asking for opinions on which interior colour to get.

As always, colours are subjective, each to his own.

Doesn't matter, they all drive the same!
