Washed her yesterday and I had to take some photos before the rain arrives this week! http://public.fotki.com/navanoD/2011-porsche-boxste/my-spyder/september-24th-2011/?view=roll

The red bits go with it well. Very smart.

True but it takes about 10 seconds to adjust the white balance...

Stunning.

What a stunning colour and eye catching car you have there.

For me the silver rims to the rear air intakes appear to be slightly out of sync with the rest of the colour scheme though, but that's just nit picking !!!!

Shame about the seats

Really nice. You must be pleased with it.

Rarity value also. Only spyder in the world that colour?

That's what I was thinking. The standard carbon buckets are awesome. Can't fault the car choice or the colour though.

very nice car. Its such a shame those federal cars have those silly rear bumper over riders. really spoil the car.

guess they spoil every car though.

Yeah, I know. This is my second Spyder, which had the Sport buckets. I just happen to find this one as it was in transport to the dealer. It was not claimed by any buyer, so I decided to snatch it before anyone else could. I plan on switching them out to the buckets in the near future.

Didn't notice the seats. Needs the buckets.

Why?

[DS240]

I just think that they are an important part of what the spyder is all about. How they were launched and as intended.

And with the cost of optioning these on other models, it seems crazy speccing something much cheaper when the beautiful looking carbon buckets can be had as standard.

They are comfortable and not really an issue to use.

Same as taking the spyder alloys off the model for an alternative design... Why oh why.

[Zp]

Comfort is an issue for some of us.
I drove one with the buckets and they were no good for me.

That, and the limited movement in them meant the wife couldn't see out the front of the car and child booster seats can't be used with them - my 6 year old lad would've been devastated if his Dad bought yet another car he couldn't go in, like the Exige!

Strangely, the wafer thin fixed buckets I had in the Exige were a perfect fit.

I always think that cars look so much better without a front numberplate - I think that just looks bloody stunning...and I do love the Boxster Spyder...and Riv Blue is gorgeous also



As others have said, I love the red accents too

Sorry about the US regulation rear plate blocks(cant think of their proper name..)

No front plate makes up for it!
