Boxster Spyder

Probably a better comparison.





Both have there + & - points but I do think leaving the stripe off was not the best way to go

[SFO]

981 Spyder is quite restrained IMO

there are no jarring lines, no huge spoliers, no loud stripes

I love the front end, as the bumper now works well with the more angular headlamps and front wings

OPC has checked and confirmed that 918 buckets will not be available to order for a UK car.

That is a shame if true.

Anyone heard anything different?

[2010spy]

Got the same message. Will be more disappointed if they subsequently become available for later cars...

Happy with the standard buckets....inclusive which effectively lowers the base price..... unlike the GT4.

My OPC was still checking as of yesterday, but I had always thought possibly unlikely.
Happy to have standard buckets and heated option.

Still no idea of delivery though.

Got the earliest build slot that's available to my OPC and that's for a July delivery. 918 seats was the only potential delay from my spec, that I've heard of so far.

Have you locked your spec?

Have you definitely got these seats.... I've been told they're categorically not available.....

No, been told that I've got a few more days yet before I need to.

No, see my earlier post. The point I was making here was there's likey to be no delays to my order now as these seats aren't available for the UK Spyder.

I am deciding on colour and white like the look of GT Silver with the Classic Interior. Anyone seen any pictures of it apart from the one photo on the Porsche site?

[KMF]

the car looks really good in that spec

do it

GT Silver and classic interior is just wonderful, a bit like the RS60

[2010spy]

Still think these decals would have looked good on the 981 Spyder...

[Beaver]

You can have them.
Available from Suncoast, official Porsche part.

My OPC says it's on the system as an option but currently n/a As I really wanted a car March 2016 he has given me his final build slot for now December build and by then I maybe able to spec different buckets or more importantly for me CTS

Still no idea of build date, and continued configurator visits mean ever changing spec.
Now at Agate Grey with PCCBs and yellow stitching.

Assume most popular colours to be white and silver, probably end up as my choice too, but today Agate looks great.
