In 3 years of ownership speed bumps with X73 have never been a problem, car parks with a steep incline yes.

Twinfan - what colour?
Only thing I wish my car had was the climate control rather than the standard aircon. Standard aircon seems to have a mind of its own. Cold one minute, then roaring hot the next...with no changes of the settings! Trick is to just leave the fan on low and use the heated seats to take the edge off when the weather is a little nippy.
1st world grumble, really. Hardly a problem.

I feel so inferior.
Actually, theres the thing. I've had heated seats in a number of cars now (including my CGTS) and I can never understand why there is 3 settings. I turn them on and then as soon as I feel like the edge has been taken off, I tap the button 3 times and it's off. 3 settings just seems like a pointless bit of tech IMHO. I always imagine the heated seat being on must be a real drain on resources, so try and turn it off ASAP. Maybe I'm just strange and other people like a gently simmering rump for a lot longer than I do.

I have probably owned 71-73 (lost count) Porsche 981 cars in the last 4 and 3/4 years, never ever used the heated seats.Actually, theres the thing.

I use them quite a bit over the colder parts of the year, they're awesome.
Lets see if this works, Google pics can be a pain sometimes. Here's my CGTS:

Really nice that mate.........needs X73 though :P lol
Not for me thanks! The gap between the tyre and wheel arch is consistent all around the wheels on my PASM car. It's less at the top of the wheel than the sides on an X73 car and it really bugs me, hence me saying it looks wrong and aftermarket. Each to their own though, of course 
I didn't like the red rev counter so silver was the obvious choice for me. I was also heavily inspired by the GT3 RS 4.0 I'd driven that was white with an alcantara interior and silver contrast stitching. Classy and oh so cool.
I'm saving "loud and shouty" for a GT4 if I'm lucky enough to get an allocation in the future.

I like your thinking behind your choice...I'm saving "loud and shouty" for a GT4 if I'm lucky enough to get an allocation in the future.

Yep!
It's so nice, I'm beginning to prefer Rhodium silver stitching over Carmine red...HOWEVER, that's like saying I prefer Kate Beckinsale to Heidi Klum...I would still be pretty thrilled if either of them were adorning the interior of my car!
Mine is the red and also has the red rev counter face, so the colour ties in really nicely throughout. I'm happy!
