Cocoa leather pics..

It is difficult to capture in photographs the rich color variations in Cocoa leather, but for those who are interested, these are pretty accurate (GT Silver 997C2 w/CC 19"s).

Salesman colour: "Isn't this beatiful - Cocoa!"

My friend has a speed yellow 997S with Cocoa. I will try to take some pictures when he comes back from vacation.

2005 997S (picking up this weekend!)

Looks like it should be on a bomber jacket.

Try using "Lexol" vinyl conditioner and cleaner for the vinyl parts. It has a much "duller" matte look to it. I'm not sure which is the best leather conditioner for the duller look. IMHO the seats are a bit too shiney. maybe it's the photo?

Yeah MMD, this color cocoa does have subtle sheen to it, not excessive-- noticeable in my pics as they were taken in bright sunlight. When you see in the flesh it is really tastefully done IMO. I ordered my former e46 M3 cabrio in Cinnamon nappa leather...so maybe I'm just partial to earthtones.

I like it. it will always make the car a bit more difficult to sell but why should you drive anything other than what you truly want for years just so you can sell it easier later.

That would look hot with black carpet. Deviate it to break it up a bit.

My Boxster SE has that color, GT/Cocoa. I just love it, and if I order a 997 Turbo, I will go with the same color combo. Click on to the picture to enlarge.
