A couple of pics from Porsche Belfast.

The white car has the split red/black leather interior which is stunning looking.

The black car has a black/cream interior.

They also have a Miami blue 718 Cayman s in the showroom...

in the black car the seats are white with black bolsters and seat side walls but that combo doesnt appear on the configurator but is in the brochure page 105 > Anyone knmow why its not on the configurator and whether its still available please

That is only a partial leather option. The cost is much lower as you only get the middle of the seats, the instrument binnacle and door pulls in leather.

The full leather is a different kettle of fish altogether and gives the car a true luxury feel.

Thanks
What are the black bits made of ?
Also why is it not on the configurator ... I like the look of it but prefer all leather .
Do you know what the leather dash and door panels are about ...extra 750 and 320 ish but looks like it's a minimal bit of leather that's probable not worth it when say going for crayon/ black where the whole seat is crayon and dash is leather ... Thank you

I think the black parts are just the standard soft material/plastic. I think it's the inside f the door panels and the instrument hood that just have the leather. Whereas the full leather has the whole dash covered in leather. Including the centre console sides and the upper part of the doors along with nice deviated stitching on some colours.

New poster here by the way so hi all. Will be contemplating a new 718 in the future.

The only bits that are leather are the insides of the seats, the instrument binnacle and the door pulls.

The rest of the seats are leatherette and the dash and doors are plastic.

It's odd how either the red or yellow calipers spoil the overall look on a white car.

Go well with other colours, just not white imo.

That 718 looks like it might need one or two more hints of green IMO. They had 918 at Mid Sussex in white with green flash, thought it looked great. Although that might be because it is a 918.

Photo's of Lava Orange from the PEC - apologies for the quality. I think it's really hard to catch the colour accurately but I thought it looked stunning , this and Carmine Red stood out from the rest.

Mmm it's funny I'm not feeling the love for the lava.

Think the 718 looks great in just in about any colour, but the orange just doesn't work for me .... looks too plasticky somehow ... like it's a toy.

each to their own as they say

Remember kids, clicking on the ThumbSnap image a few times reveals a nice hi-res version of the pic...

Really classy Neil.

Looks great. But can you drive across that field with a basket of eggs on the front seat without breaking any?

OPC wanted an eye watering price for the 2CV suspension kit. Couldn't afford it.

Are those racing yellow seatbelts I spy there?

[Budweiser]

Stunning, not mine, sadly.

OPC Colchester.

You Sir, are correct. 15 Specsavers points to you!

I love the Racing Yellow. My wife's not keen, the daughter doesn't care (teenager, what do you expect) and everyone else just says "um, yellow, that's interesting".

Please excuse the dirty carpets. Vacuum cleaner ran out of charge...
