Which would you choose as an interior in a white TTS cab?
#18
Just to clarify, both Turbo S cabs are used, with low miles (approx. 3500 miles). I specifically wanted a white one, and found the two choices- black or black/titanium blue.
Unfortunately, the one with the all black interior has been sold as of this morning.
I am offered a pretty good deal on the one with black/titanium blue interior (152K for a car that had an original MSRP of 180K). I was thinking with the savings, I can apply it towards Alcantera seat inserts, or some other custom interior options.
I can either pass on this deal and wait for a future white cab TTS, or buy this car and go to a custom upholstery shop.

I'd go two-tone; the blue will add some much needed color to a white over black car.

winkingchief, what would you suggest as having more 'personality'?

And if I didn't like it, I was considering swapping out the inserts with alacantera suede.. either black or dark gray.

I am not a big fan of alcantara because will look matted after a couple of years. While the alcantara will grip well, it doesn't hold up very well with a lot of use.

+1. Also the fact that it's a test tube concoction (68% polyester 32% polyurethane) is off putting to me. I prefer real leather.

White exterior is very nice, but black/white is rather "blah" in my opinion.
I would go for (especially) cocoa or natural brown leather as they are very "classic" combinations (there used to be a turbo cab in Walnut Creek that was sweet)
Here's one for example: (not white, but you get my drift)

My biggest regret in buying used is that I let myself fall in love too quickly and compromised on black interior (I love love love slate grey and I thought I wouldn't find another). I (probably like you) am a very "if it needs to get done, it needs to get done now" person, so I found a great deal from a guy who needed to sell and wanted to get done asap. Unfortunately, I found a slate grey/natural brown car literally 2 days after I had paid for my current one. I don't love it less, but I should have waited longer.
