1. I'm leaning towards getting the top in blue, but can't find any good pictures of it. This is the only thing I found and it looks really good to me, but maybe because it's a turbo?
2. I want a light interior, which I think leaves me with only two options: Slate/Chalk or Black/Beige. I haven't seen either in person yet (and don't have too many opportunities to do that), so hoping someone can comment who have seen them.
3. Do I go with the stock rims in satin black:
Or the 20"/21" Carrera Classic Wheels, best seen here:
First, do not get satin painted wheels - I have them on my GTS and they always look dirty within 10 miles after driving the car - brake dust and metal gets into the outer corners and it looks bad. Best wheels which look great and easy to maintain are the Carrera Exclusive Design Wheels - maybe with gloss black trim or just plain. Convertible top in any color other than black is a pain because it will show everything including dirt, stains and creases. The interior which would look great is the black sport tex with chalk stitching with chalk seatbelts - very classy and a bit different. Great car and enjoy.
Not sure how much this will help but your build is very similar to how I spec-ed my Boxster several years ago. It was a stunner. Including the Satin wheels. I went for the black top, I don't like how the blue tops looks. I wouldn't change anything.
I have Gentian Blue, Carrera Classic wheels, and Chalk/Slate interior and it's stunning. I like having more contrast exterior to interior and the Classic wheels are so easy to clean.
