Pete,

Oh man. That Arena Red/Grey widebody with aerokit and deep-dish wheels... simply outstanding. You have great taste. How about getting that baby out to Ventura for the Autofest on Sept 14th?

I think that might just be a problem with the picture Mike. I've seen classic grey in person and it doesn't look as red as the picture.

So what kind of silver are you gonna get? Polar or ARtic?

Mike,

You are just seeing the fabulous arena red color reflected in the classic grey interior. There is NO red in that grey color.

Neither, my current car (looks like it is sold) is polar silver. The TT I am looking at is glacier white/cl.gry with sport seats. I think the white seat backs will look good in this car. Mike

Rubicon Grey has a touch of purple (to put it mildly). That pic is just the reflection.

I posted the following a while back. See my pics (link below) for a Classic Gray carpet and Rubicogray leather. Yes, they have a purplish tint but it's slight and looks great.
----------------------------------------------------------
To clarify my earlier post and provide obscure color info, a VR interior apparently means "rubicograu leder" (i.e. rubico-gray leather) with a carpet code of 8AS. This according to PCNA. The dealer had no idea what two-letter color codes mean (shouldn't they know that??). Anyway, 8AS carpet apparently corresponds to Classic Gray (dark gray), according to a dealer. It seems to me that the 2-letter interior code corresponds to BOTH a leather color AND a carpet color. Dunno if that's right. But it would explain why lots of 2-letter codes can have the same gray carpet.

Jeff, looks like we both have the Midnight Blue/Marble Gray interior. Is the white part of your dash a factory job, or is that some custom work post factory production? I haven't seen one like that in the flesh.

Mine is CF, and I've ordered a 3 point CF/leather wheel and CF/leather shifter and handbrake from Gert. The wheel wasn't available in Midnight Blue, so I ordered it in Metropole Blue, which is darker than Midnight Blue. Should be interesting. The shifter and handbrake are available in Marble Gray. I'll post photos when I receive them and have them installed, which should be by end of the month.

Lee,
If the "white part" of the dash you're asking about is the instruments, they are factory aluminum.
Your car looks great!
Re: steering wheel color.
I replaced the wheel in my Boxster and had it dyed by local interior shop to match the graphite interior. I am sure you can have your wheel dyed to match.
Good luck,
Jeff
