I also didn't get the leather interior

The thing is, with all the waiting it's so easy to start second guessing your options.



I had Alcantera on my M4CS. While it's great, I did not opt for it as it looked out of place in a black interior.
Yea, I went round and round with RAS and it seems to be a very polarizing topic. My build is froze now and I’m having no remorse not adding rear steer. Most say it’s great in tight places. They also say that reverse parking takes forever to learn the characteristics. I don’t have that long🤣.

So when you're next in my part of the world (London) let me know and I'll treat you to a pint, or a Bud, or whatever!
Once again thank you very much, don't think it's not appreciated

At what price did you get your stock? My average cost is €92.34 and I am 24% up, which translates to 12% discount of my 922T if I was to sell it today.

I know this is a stupid question: Why do the front tires say "P Zero" (instead of Pirelli) and rear say "Pirelli" (instead of Pzero). I know both are Pirelli but why different appearance/branding?

At least you can easily fit this afterwards. Unlike something like RAS etc. I am so glad I clicked all the Race Tex options!

With that said, none of it is a real deal breaker for me. I find it easier to get over styling decisions (I too flipped a bunch on these so I’m guessing I’ll change my mind during ownership as well)
I can’t agree more with you. Those RS spyder wheels on the Rubystar really made me wonder how I have missed those as something to consider. Would be brilliant on GR. Also that leather stitching on the yellow one made me think a GT silver one with yellow stitching would be a bomb. But once we sit down in our car and start driving all our doubts will be gone. We made our config for a reason so let’s just trust our own judgement. We all have hours and hours spending on the configurator.

It would probably be easier to add RAS than a racetex headliner. 🤣
I didn’t want racetex all over everything, just on the center console. I’m just glad I chose to wrap everything with leather.

Will be delighted to do so!!
So now I’ve now got just over a week to decide what I’m gonna wear to the unveiling.
I haven’t got any clothes in GT Silver or Race Tech so it’ll have to be something in contrast.
Also there’s the question of what to wear on my head, a baseball cap, a floppy cap, a bowler hat????
Decisions Decisions Decisions
Luckily I’ve got a few days till clothing freeze👍👍

You're better off without them. I love them too but they are heavy and not free. Better option is to buy quality replicas from @911alloys . You save about 20lbs total and they'll cost about the same as the OE upgrade except you'll have an extra set of wheels.

It’s gonna be a great colour match if you’ve ordered GT Silver as well??

To the point, how do we know Porsche doesn't just throw up on the TYD page the same standard "ice grey chassis" picture to everyone?
