Help on color combination choice?

I have also just placed my order for the new 991 C2S. I currently own a 997 C4S in Seal Grey with Black leather. I like the new grey and would probably have gone with that, but I feel I need a change. I am currently thinking of Dark Blue metallic withy grey leather (don't think I can live with beige). Any thoughts on this combo? :?:
do you have the production schedule yet? The dealer told me that my order wont deliver till June or July, there are around 25 people ahead of me :nooo:
 
thanks all you guys reply

Dark Blue seems to be on the top list at this moment.

Since everybody love Black leather interior, how about carrara white/black interior with red seat belts plus trim strip panel, PCM board, door finishers painted with white :mrgreen:

Your blue car problem was down too not waxing it often enough, as simple as that.

Sounds like spec that would work on the new 911.

I do think the yellow one is good too, especially with those wheels 8)

As a new owner of an Aqua blue GTS I can vouch for the colour, it's been very well received but it does 'shout' a bit, however I was bored with black and silver. The only word of caution is that when I discussed this with an 'impartial' OPC dealer principal, he referred to midnight blue as 'doom blue', apparently they find dark blue 911's difficult to shift.

I'm number 4 on my dealers list, but I don't want my car until March 1st so I expect they will pull other orders in front of mine

Have not seen GT silver yet but I hope to at launch.

I did make an attempt at waxing my blue car but all that happened was, I introduced Swirls on the bodywork, so I just used a 'wash & wax' after that and the swirls just weathered off after a few months
 
GT Silver:

Darker.

It is a current range colour, so do a quick search on Porsche UK and see if any models are at your local in GT Silver.

I've ordered 991 C2 (could not afford S version).

- White with Black Wheels, PDK, Isofix, Bluetooth, Parking Sensors etc....

Would like the sunroof as coming out of 997 C4S Cab, but not sure that tilt and slide roof looks ok. Reminds me of a clio i had as a student :eek:)

The cost of black wheels is a right rip off, £931 and that's just for the outsides, on saying that I'm 95% sure I'll spec them to as they do look good on a silver car also.

Congrats! :thumb:
still waiting my local dealer to confirm the final price and the specification. My dealer told me that some optional such as parkassist might included in the my local standard specification.

I am also keen on white, but I might go for dark blue or silver this time. I am not sure the Porsche paint quality, my old white Mercedes turning yellowish just 2-3 years.
:nooo: :nooo:
 
I still think black works on almost every level. Problem with a different colour in a Porsche is that pretty much all the interior is that colour whereas with other manufacturers you pretty much determine the colour of the seats not the whole thing.

I've not studied the colour options on the 991 but in old 997 money things like Ocean Blue were OK and not OTT. On a white car the browns look OK.
