That is a great color interior. I saw a white C4 for sale in Chicago with a dark brown and light grey two tone interior. Stunning.

I have never seen dark blue with cocoa before. It looks beautiful. I understand when it's time to sell. My 996 was perfect and I bought it at an important time of my life, but it was time to go. Enjoy the new 991 when you get it. Post pics here when you do.

Yes. Midnight blue metallic over Cocoa. Thanks for the compliments. I specced the car myself back in 2006 and no one at the dealership had seen the combination together before either. I think it came out nicely. It is/was elegant, but maybe a little too conservative at times. I'm doing graphite blue metallic over black on the 991. I would have done it with saddle interior, but I thought that I needed a change of pace.

Today I got a drone pic of my 997 from last weekend's mountain route ride in the Dominican Republic (far left Atlas Grey 997):

Got to drive it for the first time in a week (dang work, ruining my fun). Nothing exciting just around town for boring errands...T

put in some Metropol Blue mats and threw out the original black ones. Next to the Sand Beige interior, they look OK. I was hoping for more of a pop of blue, but they are fine for the 85$ I paid for them.

Any pics? I have a Luxor Beige interior ( red exterior) and went with cocoa mats for a bit of contrast. They were on sale cheap at Suncoast at the time, about 30 beans if I recall correctly...T
