Again, its all personal taste, but I think coloured seatbelts (especially the more lairy ones) don't look right when actually in use.

They look great when the car is not being used, as blend in to some degree, but when your driving then to me they distract, in the same was as the options to have elements of the interior painted in the exterior colour. Again a big 'no no' for me.
I am coming around to this way of thinking on coloured belts......

Love coloured seatbelts. Had black all my life, nice to have a change. Lighter coloured seatbelts probably show up stains more, but who wouldnt want red, yellow, blue etc...

All that's why Porsche (and others) offer then, to cater for peoples choices.

Spec the way as you want it would be my suggestion, and don't really worry what others say/think.

This is my attitude, hence I don't even ask for anyone's opinions on spec or post my spec link up, because without sounding arrogant, I'm specc'ing it for me and not anyone else.

Carmine Red GTS interior pack for me, think the red highlights will match with the brake callipers and set it off nicely smile
I thought you were going Shark Blue?

Car came back from Deluxe Car Care in Ascot today. James has done a frankly incredible job on the car! Full track pack PPF and ceramic coating. Looks like a different car!!

Look great, and agree that ceramic coating makes such a difference, with the added benefit of east cleaning moving forward.

I am going for Shark Blue, Sam. Carmine Red is the GTS Interior Pack I’m referring to. So the Red stitching, belts, dials etc…. smile

I may follow suit. Just can’t get my head around speed blue interior accents.

Carmine GTS with shark blue exterior works well!

Disappointing news from my dealer today. They messaged in early February to say I was 6th on the list for the C2 GTS. I went to the PEC day last week so chased up today and was told I'm now 5th on the list. So moved 1 place in 4 months. At that rate I'll get the car in another 20 months having placed my deposit in December last year.

What's frustrating is reading about someone else who placed an order in December and is due to have their car in July. Different dealer, but how does that work?
I hear you…. I’ve been no2 since Feb. Wait continues….

I think so too. I saw a 992 GT3 with the same combination and think it works well. May not be for everyone but I’m going loud smile

I think that’s a great call. Red interior would look awesome.

looks good, what's track pack PPF, what's the coverage?

How much was it too please?

I notice they haven't put the rear stone guards on, I would ask them to apply some new ones as its a very vulnerable area, hence why the car comes with them!

Ceramic coating im not sold on, had it before on the car without PPF and yes it made it easier to wash for a while, but PPF gives the same ease of washing, I didnt have my current car ceramic coated, just full PPF and washing has been easy, and 4 years later not a mark on the car. That was from Topaz.

My car goes into the paint shop today, so getting excited now, just over a month to wait.
