Default Options, Questions and Options?

I discussed, mainly verbally, the options with my dealer and today they surprised me with the news that my car is a January built. I did not think it was going to be so soon, so I missed on the opportunity to change a few things. Anyways, here are my options that I finally saw, clearly stated in a document, from my dealer and I have a couple of questions. First, here is the option list:

Exterior Color – E9-Mid Night Blue Metallic
Interior Color – 78 Black Alcantara
CNR – C35 (WHAT DOES THIS NUMBER MEAN?)
Model Type – 997810 LL 911 GT3 (WHAT DOES THE 810 LL MEAN?)

Options:

P01 Adaptive Sport Seats
P16 PCM
P74 Bi Xenon
XPA 3-SP-Steering
XSC Porsche Crest on Head Rest
XSY Seat Belt Speed Yellow
XXZ Footrest in Sports Look
09991 Speed Yellow
24901 Stitching on Dashboard Speed Yellow
24902 Stitching on Door Trim Speed Yellow
24903 Stitching Pull Hand/Comp Lid Speed Yellow
24904 Stitching Side Pan Cent. Con. Speed Yellow
24905 Stitching of Rear Side Panel Speed Yellow
25851 Stitching of Front Seats Speed Yellow
450 Ceramic Brakes
490 Sound Package
509 Fire Extinguisher
640 Sport Crono Package
650 Electric Sliding Roof
810 Floor Mats

I do not see a full leather package, but stitching all over (I requested That, with those words). If I requested the stitching, could it mean that it will come in an all leather interior? (I saw the comments on option 09991).

I hope that option 09991 will translate to the leather steering wheel, if not, after looking at all your posts, I think alcantara will be much nicer. Do you guys think option 09991 will include the yellow stitching on the XPA Steering Wheel?

Do you think the fire extinguisher is the one under the driving seat or the big bottle like the Club Sport?

Hopefully, the car will be in the Dominican Republic in 6-8 weeks. We do not have that much availability of vessels crossing the Atlantic!

I know it is a Luxo ride, but comparing a 996 GT3 MK1 to a 996 GT2 CS that I owned, I have much better thoughts of the GT3 and one of the big reasons is Comfort!

Thanks for your comments!

Luis

congrats !
i checked and 78 is code for full leather so it's appearing as interior choice instead of an option in your order

don't think 09991 will include steering/shifter/e-brake if you order the standard ones

Any pictures, I am dying to see. My personal color has always been mid night blue but at least on 997s white looks really good. I think for the first time I am not sure of the color choice!!

Thanks,

997810 is Porsche's internal code for 911 (997) GT3. 997850 is the 911 GT3 RS. Not sure was LL is. Potentially code for US version, but could be something else. C35 is actually the code for a car destined for South/Central America. USA is C02.

Edited: LL is NOT the code for a US GT3.

Car is bound to the Dominican Rep.
Could LL have something to do with Left Hand drive, since it seems "per your comment" it is on US bound cars.
Thanks,

I think it is since I assume there are RHD countries in South/Central America and "LL" would then be the way to specify LHD.
