Arrow TT options - comments please

This April I took delivery of a new C4 (narrowbody). Being 6ft7in the 911 is one of the only sports cars that I can fit in and drive comfortably, especially since I fitted a <a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=004589#000000" target="_blank">Techart 340mm steering wheel</a>. However, I miss the mid-range stomp of my M5 and I've never really got used to the look of the C4 front end. So, I've placed a deposit on a new TT for October delivery and my dealer is giving me a fair part exchange price, considering how long I've owned it.

These are the options I'm thinking of having. I'd appreciate comments from any TT owners who think I've missed off a "must have" or just ideas for alternatives.

410 18’’ Turbo II Wheel GBP 0,00
Z4 Basalt Black Metallic GBP 0,00
692 CDC−4 six disc CD autochanger GBP 344,28
Y06 Gear lever and handbrake lever in aluminium GBP 404,20
342 Heated seats GBP 253,80
AH Leather interior in black GBP 0,00
XSU Lowered seats GBP 352,50
X50 Performance Kit GBP 8.709,10
P16 Porsche Communication Management (PCM) GBP 1.620,33
XSC Porsche Crest embossed on head restraints GBP 103,40
666 Telephone module for PCM GBP 522,88


I must point out I need to stay with standard seats to acommodate my shoulder width and I'll be transferring the Techart wheel to this car.

My Polar Silver C4 has light grey stitching in the black leather. Would Basalt TT with black leather use the same stitching colour?

I have 2 weeks to firm up the specification.

I would get red stitching and seatbelts, with small alu pack to break up the all black a bit. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Grey stitching is standard on black interiors...
I would get Alu-look PCM package, Alu-look belt releases in b-pillar, alu-look door finishers, alu look center console and alu-look package large. Also, red belts are a nice touch...
Lastly, I would add the lid of storage bin with embossed "turbo" script. Don't forget thos floor mats!!

I would suggest the 513 and 586 Lumbar Seats especially if you will be going on long drives.
The question I would ask is: do I want a Porsche for show or go? That being answered, I would purchase accordingly. Many individuals purchase vehicles to impress others, not themselves; immaturity?

Deleting the sunroof may give more headroom. I'd go for the X50.

X50 Performance Kit GBP 8.709,10

Jeez! Why is the X50 option so much cheaper in Europe?

Actually that converts over to $14,400 US Dollars, so basically the same.

I thought in the US it was over US$17,000, no? If so, even with the awful exchange rate it is about $3000 different. With the exchange rate more inline this is about $4,000 difference, or about 30% more expensive.
