Great - please post their response.

Also - manual aircon or climate?

Didn't do AC last time. Not sure this time, but it would be the manual version if I did.

Yes, Rhodium is good, for me it's either that or flat/metallic white

Re the larger fuel tank I wondered if it took up more boot space.

Don't think so, and there is no mention on either this or the GT4, but would be as well to ask.

Manual aircon and 64L tank - tick

Full bucket seats are option P11 according to the brochure

[2010spy]

Current thinking is :

Rhodium
Sports Tail Pipes
918 Buckets (If option)
Leather with Silver Stitching
Radio
Air Conditioning (maybe)

That's it.

was a/c chargeable option last time?

64 liter tank from standard Boxster, so no reason for any loss in boot space

[Beaver]

Pretty sure AC was free

[2010spy]

A/C wasn't free last time.

Looks better without PORSCHE badge, but this will have to be DIY again...

i quite like the silver with classic interior

Buckets are delaying delivery of GT4s for 2 months, I'm assuming the Spyder will be the same.

[Beaver]

Yes - am assuming that's why they are not on the configurator.

My OPC confirmed that they are receiving just 1 car this year. Buckets are on the configurator when I just built mine for the 25th time today. Looks like this is going to be a very scarce car indeed.

GT4 is the 918 style buckets .. Spyder is the old style GT2

[Beaver]

The confusion is that the Spyder is also shown with 918s..

[2010spy]

And they are an option in the brochure...

But on all the others configurators...

[Beaver]

Correct, but seemingly available ROW

Keep coming back to white, despite trying to be different.

If it were me I'd go with Guards Red - always looks nice enough in pictures yet still manages to look better still in the metal. Pretty astonishing how good it looks on special cars like GT3s and the 987.2 Spyder - the way that seemingly 2/3 of all buyers go with predictable white almost seems a bit of a crime. But as ever: your car, your rules, so go with whatever you reckon would make you want to keep it forever (even if the plan is actually something more short term)

7:48 'ring time if that's of any consequence:

I bought a brand new guards red gen 2 987C and was convinced the bloody thing was orange due to a week of dull weather
