Thanks for this info and all the work you put into it! Some of us have been waiting a long time for this. According to your info, my cream white with red natural leather, A/C delete, buckets, manual and sport exhaust is one of a kind. I ordered it in 2009 and it was in the very first group to enter the USA. They were held hostage in the port of Baltimore holding up delivery because there was a recall on the roof latch and Porsche sent technicians to replace it. On opening day of orders, black Spyder wheels were not available. With help from Porsche, Stoddard’s Porsche painted my wheels black. They also secured me a red factory keychain to match which I forgot to order. It is made by hand by the same German family who has been doing it for years.

Arctic is a cool silver with a hint of blue. Platinum is a warm silver: it has a bronze or pink tint in the right light

I have owned both and both look great!

My only other factory options are black pulls and belts or silver. Haven’t seen many silver belts and pulls, but I bet it would tie in with the silver, side PORSCHE script and the grey colored intakes on the Spyder.

Very cool! They tie in nicely with the silver trim accents inside inside the car. I'm leaning towards this color, while I would keep the original red ones just to have them. I thought about speed yellow (like the PCCBs) but that was not originally offered on the Spyder and there is basically no manufacturer that offers the correct speed yellow RS pulls (color wise and material). Thus, I would have the belts but not matching pulls or the belts plus black pulls. Will probably go Silver Grey. Thanks again.

For those of you that are breaking down the production/options further, are you using the excel file that was generated years ago or another source? I would like to break down the Basalt Black Spyders into more detail
