Default Final cab final color advice

So I think I'm getting close to my final build.

http://www.porsche-code.com/PMU1BCV6

3 questions left that I'm struggling with:

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:

Nice looking build - here are my two cents.

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.

I would go black top with the black wheels or classic wheels with the blue top. The interior looks good and can go with either set up.

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.

VERY helpful, thank you! That's a black top, right? Almost has a blueish tint to me for some reason.

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.

That's the high gloss wheels I think, right? Not the satin?

Any chance you have a picture of it?
