I personally would have gone for graphite myself if I hadn't gone for a PTS. I've seen your colour with the graphite-crayon 'tex' interior with 'brightwork' on the exterior (ie. silver-finish wheels, window trims and quad pipes) and it really works beautifully. You do have to live with a graphite dashboard etc. which might be a bit strong for some, however. There's a real nautical feeling about the cabin which, I guess, would go very well in a sunny environment: California, for example

I think it's important, whatever you do, to maintain a consistency and logic in picking the right cosmetic options.... and you've done it brilliantly with your black-over-graphite theme. You've kind of taken the graphite-crayon version above and switched it to 'black'. Optioning those rear black lenses is inspired ! I also like the illuminated kick-plates: it's purely extravagant but a great 'welcome' at night....

One last thing. I noticed you went for the PDK. The 'Gen 2 Manual Club' must have only a few members, I fear.... My colleagues who have M4s, an RS4 and a 991.1 all have dual-clutchers, but they are all 10-15 years younger than me. There must be a moral in there somewhere

My original build was with the graphite/chalk interior, but wear concerns and as you said, living with the blue dash, nautical look interior was just a bit much for me. I guess you can say I went to the dark side.
