Boxster Spyder

Agate grey with classic spyder interior looks stunning. Wheels in grey . Have a look at Chicago garage which did have that combi 4weeks ago. Good luck. Chosen met black plus red stitching but seeing brakes may not last could change to pccb and delay delivery but what to do on the stitching? Yellow not sure of. Beginning of April at moment but could be delayed now.

Agree that Agate looks great and is underrated. I wanted the classic interior but not with white, black or rhodium Considered GT Silver but being a tight Yorkshireman wouldn't pay the extra £1k for that, besides, my Boxster 550 Spyder and RS60 Spyder were both GT Silver (at no extra cost). So that left Agate, same as on my current Cayman S. Given the reaction on forums to Agate I was nervous as to whether I'd made a mistake but saw the Chicago car and this photo on Rennlist and am quietly confident that it will look suitably understated on the outside but more dramatic on the inside, which is where I'll spend my time!

personally not a fan of the silver , dont think it does anything at all for the car, Agate looks classy, is Macadamia an option? , I love that just not sure I would want to own one in that colour !
jeffc - where about in NE are you from? for some reason i keep expecting to see your car around, having drooled over the pics of it on here. mine is also white/black wheels. i'm in teesside btw.unrelated - i was at silverstone driving the spyder for the first time yesterday (their silver one looks quite unimpressive IMO). however, i was totally impressed with the car, even moreso at the end of the session when martin the PDC took me round a few times to show me how it should be done. i was surprised at the amount of grip these things have, even in the s

oooh any pictures ? I haven't seen any other Spyders in the north east for that matter any Gt4"s kicking about either, was your car one of the 2 Spyders supplied by Newcastle? mine came from Darn Sarf.

no mate, mine had to come from bolton - where it still is sat in OPC unfortunately! i go back to work today for just over 3 weeks so my pick up date it going to be around 11th march. i'll put some pics up when i get it.I am just the other side of Bishop Auckland , but it has only been out once so far , that was over your way though
whomever i spoke to in newcastle OPC when i was looking for one of these cars back in august had a crap attitude and no interest whatsoever in even talking to me about them, let alone trying to source me one!
the only spyder i have ever seen on the roads round my way was 987 about 5 years ago outside a solicitors near the magistrates court in middlesbrough. i have yet to see a GT4 round here, but have seen a couple of GT3's.
as they say - its grim up north!! ;-)
