Default Natural Grey on GT3...any images ?

Greetings from Spain on my first post here...

I'm thinking about trade my 996TT for a new MY08 white GT3. Sure, I prefer black for GT3 interiors, but just I'm curious about how this car looks in natural grey...

Any images ?

Regards.

Natural Grey leather is available for GT3 at least from MY07. The option code is 18, and requires full leather interior.

Regards.

My recollection from when I spec'd. my car in February was that the dealer said you couldn't tell the difference and the extra cost might be better spent on something else. From the tiny sample in the brochure he seemed to have a point.

I've see this photo on the official sales book, but I thought that it was a print mistake, because all seems black here...

I ordered mine in natural grey. I think it complements the alacantra better and since it is a speed yellow car, I wanted to avoid bumble bee references. In living contrast there is not much difference between the black and the grey, the black is a little darker and seems like a dark grey against the alacantra.

In hindsite, I would have been happy with either and it probly was not worth the extra money but my order locked before I could change it.

If you want to see the difference in real life, which I recommend, go to your porsche dealer. They all have labled samples of colors and carpets and leathers in a display attached to a wall. You don't even need to talk to anyone.

u will not be able to tell the difference between natural grey & black in the pics. even in person the difference is hard to tell. it's a better grade of leather but it's very close to black. call it natural black if u like.

My car has Natural Grey (sorry, no interior pics) - but it looks black. I'd never know it wasn't "black" if it wasn't part of the standard specs for 40th Anny cars. Save your $$ for other options.
