The centre console and trims are both the brushed black Ali.
I'm a bit concerned it might easily get scratched, but looks cool.......

Car looks great! A nice tease for what's to come for me too. Do I see Porsche Exeter? I'll be driving mine from London to Exeter and back the weekend after next, weather permitting. Gotta get her run in somehow :-)

I love a white car, looks gorgeous, when do you pick her up? Is that a gizmo for the Active Cruise Control in the front grill?

Anyone at Oulton on Friday? I'm having some negative camber adjustment today and brake fluid changed after the last track excursion and look forward to reporting any improvements.

Well spotted, yep that's the active cruise radar dome. Collect on Monday morning smile

Carrara White plus Black GTS exterior pack as suggested by a fellow Pistonheader; very pleased with the combo smile

Same here. It's in the workshop on Weds, but then we're away visiting family until Saturday evening frown

The Spyder humps did look rather good in red, plus I did comment on how much lower yours looked, despite it only being an additional 10mm.

But then he conjured up a clip-on lip for the front splitter from my passenger seat. I can hopefully use this as advanced warning (before losing black gloss) if I'm nosing it up against a kerb.

Hi All, I've been reading through the post and I am very interested in the specs of the cars on order below. I also have a build date sometime mid January and I have given my final spec to the dealer. Should be locking down before the end of the week. This will be my sixth Porsche, second Boxster and the first time I have really agonised over the colour. White, red and agate grey were all on the short list but I eventully have gone for Rhodium Silver. In the past I have gotten carried away with the spec but this time I set myself a limit of around £65K. As in life everything is a compromise. We can get passionate and emotional about our views but at the end of the day we have to live with our choices. This will be my daily drive, I will do 10K miles a year. The spec reflects this. Check out my Porsche code PG67KI66. Constructive comments welcome.

Spec looks perfect to me. You've been disciplined! But it's not poverty spec - has everything it really needs, just avoided the stitching and other "poor value" choices. I like rhodium silver.

I had a good look inside one at the Glasgow OPC with the standard interior. It looked fine. I agree the upgraded pack is better but the £1700 or so wasn't next on my list. A couple of things I debated. Should I go for the bucket seats?, concluded that with the mileage I was doing I would go for comfort over looks. The next was colour and wheels, Still not sure I have it right, still have a chance to change possibly just the wheels to Platinum or go Agate plus Black wheels? seen it in the dealership on a GT4- looked great. Both choices make it look a bit more sporty. Do I need that?....

full leather/alcantara interior is £1194

you should try the bucket seats, they are surprisingly comfortable. and free!
