This si my door panel. Without carbon the handle is in dark grey. But it is made in plastic. From the configurator when you choose the carbon the handle became in light grey (not dark). Is it in real alluminium? Or it si in plastic anyway? Can you touch it to confirm Thank you

Exactly; which is why I custom ordered a colour between Night and Gentian.

True midnight blue from the 997 era is fantastic- I don't think night blue metallic is the same.

After a few months with my car for the first time in blue, I am very happy with this color that varies between blue and black. It's like you have two cars ... Bad luck even though two times flat tires leaving my parking lot ...

It’s the stock trim.

A bit of a shot in the dark, not having seen anything when I finalised the order, but I’m very happy with it.

It is suitably understated - doesn’t stand out and complements the Truffle interior well.

I thought long and hard about the wood trim, but wasn’t brave enough!

I thought the stock trim had that carbon look; The trim near the cup holder looks like smooth metal? Could just be the photo res.

Saw one two days ago at the dealer's. Indoor. I think it's nice.
Also saw one black metallic, under the sun, it looks a little like deep blue.

Black metallic (tiefschwarzmetallic) has blue in the flake and looks awesome in the sun, but it's still black most of the time.

I guess...

To me, black metallic just looks like a dusty black car...most of the time.

I took delivery of this Midnight Blue 992 C2S over the weekend. The color is absolutely amazing and unusual! If you’re thinking of buying this color - do not hesitate. It is gorgeous!
