Nothing wrong with having a Boxster only thread - especially given the wait for the first Cayman to arrive.

Mine is due to be built starting this week and at the moment is expected in the dealer on 1st July. I'm not sure how accurate these dates tend to be.

My spec is
Boxster S
Gt silver
Red roof
Black/red interior
20 inch carrera wheels in titanium
PDK
PSE
Sports chrono
Light upgrade
Folding mirrors
Camera and parking sensors
Cruise control
Heated seats
Nav
Painted rollover bars
Gt steering wheel

Congratulations! Can you please tell me which OPC is allowing you to get the G-Techniq detailing done at the dealership and who are you using?

Cheers.

Why did you have to post this? It's really irritating! smile I've ordered all of the above except in Agate Grey. I've spent so many hours on the configurator I can quote the price of every option and now, looking at your spec, me and the wife are starting to prefer Gt Silver. Still got time to change it but I can't go through another configuration.

Need to see it in the flesh though because the configurator pictures of Rhodium Silver look nothing like our Cayman parked out front so I don't think the pictures are very reilable.

Can I see yours in the flesh when you have it?

I was at the Porsche Experience day at Silverstone on Monday. They had a 718 in GT Silver and it looked very good.

I agonised over Agate vs GT Silver on my car and in the end settled on GT Silver despite the cost premium (GT4). In the flesh a far far nicer colour (IMHO) and suited the shape of the 981 better than Agate.

same 'problem' here - deciding between Agate grey and Rhodium or GT silver...

the configurator - especially the standard 2d views are a pretty poor representation of the real thing and i think even viewing photos of the 981 gives a better idea. no option to see the new wheels though.

Took some photos including a 718 in GT Silver. I've just attempted to post via Thumbsnap but I'm doing something wrong. I shall have to get some advice.

Please get the photos up- mine is gt silver and I haven't seen one in it yet. I've also got the red roof,red/black leather and titanium grey carrera s wheels.ordered hoping it would look ok..

Dyffed it does sound like ours are on the same transporter and were built at the same time- we'll have to compare chassis numbers.what colour is yours?

I know what you mean - I changed from black to GT.
Of course you can see it. It's due first 2 weeks of July. Where are you?
