Is there any bad exterior and interior colours for a 997 ? Anything to stay away from ? Any really good or bad combos? Any help appreciated !!

Thanks

Are you speccing for yourself or buying secondhand?

Combo's are more likely to problems, but the interior colours on the 997 are better than on the 996. Personnally I don't think the Red and Sand go well together and I don't like the red and green interior - but that's just me.

If I was specsig one would probably be atlas grey outside and maybe Cocao inside (although that does not seem to be popular).

It's so personal it's hard to generalise - neutral is always safe!

Anything with a tinge of pink to it, especially if you intend to visit round here regularly :D

what about artic silver / ocean blue leather ?

It's a fairly standard non-offensive spec. Doesn't really float my boat and proabaly not as popular as black interior, but not a bad combo at all (especially not if mixed with plenty of aluminium inside).

The good one are the ones YOU like, bad are the ones YOU don't like.

However most people have an eye on reasale, which leads most to selecting from a narrow range of mostly blacks, greys, silvers, with black interiors.

Personally, would depend on what car I was buying, GT's should be loud colours with black interiors, however for most other models I'd go with a light interior, personally I think they are classier looking & add CF packs. I think the aluminium packs look cheap where CF adds class. I think a silver with a sand interior looks great, though most would disagree.

If you are keeping the car for a number of years spec what you like.
