How many miles did you do in it :-)

About 1800 which given our lack of summer wasn't bad!

It was actually more than I thought!!

That is a stunner!!

I see what you did there :-)

but Marks going to have to get the Spyder wheels redone Silver, as black wheels on a blue car is not very nice.
I would also think is strange to have the black graphic.

the blues one def need siver graphic and wheels imo. (plus then I hope it's got the silver seatbelts and door pulls not red also)

I've not seen one in the flesh so I'll reserve judgement but I tend to agree that silver works well with Aqua. I'm very unlikely to be changing the graphics or wheels though.

As for the belts I'm not sure but I'd guess silver was an option so unlikely to have it.

My Spyder brochure says silver graphics, red belts and pulls were standard on aqua cars.
Doesn't give black graphics as an option.

Maybe the spec changed with the later model year? The pics I've seen show the Aqua Spyder with silver and black decals.

I had the optional silver belts on my arctic Spyder. They very much suited that car.

I doubt the black PORSCHE decal was changed from silver? But it's possible I guess.

I'll wait til I see it in the flesh but my only mod maybe from black to silver decals. Probably have to do the Spyder one too.

I think the silver decal with the black wheels actually looks ace. Just look at the aqua blue gallery on Dspyda.

Think I prefer the black wheel to silver but probably needs the silver decal.

There's a well known American Aqua Spyder with full red leather but maybe it's just a little too RED! It's dazzling! I'm happy with the full black leather. If it has the standard red belts etc then silver would be a worthwhile change too I think.

I had a 981 with full red leather when my Spyder was in Cardiff OPC just after Christmas. Not sure I could live with it to be honest.

This was the interior of my loan 981

SFO, always loved your RS60 interior. Just after having the loan 981 I'm not sure I could live with it.

Worst thing with the 981, except for the non-paddle gear change (those wheel mounted buttons are awful), was the high console which I found annoyingly rubbed against my leg. It would pi$$ me off long term.

SFO, can't believe you purchased a "pink" key fob!!

It's got silver with black wheels....the extended alcantara and interior leather pack too

Pics are essential. Sounds a beautiful car.

it's called imagination .. I also have a white one now

I'm not sure which sounds better, or worse?

Get a black one!

Bloody awful weather but home

Great car, absolutely beautiful colour. The black side decal looks perfect and so do the wheels. They just don't show to best effect in photographs. When it's clean it's sensational - unfortunately it's stinking now!

Some pics shortly.

Many, many thanks to Tom, Dan and Henry for a great buying experience.

What black decals?

It's really very difficult to photograph the car to best effect. In real life there is a contrast and it works superbly well.

Just ordered the "Spyder" emblem for the rear. Looks too fussy with "Boxster Spyder".

Thanks guys. It's a very pretty car. I might get a blue keyfob for it
