Hi
I am currently ordering my 2nd GTS. My current one is the 2018 model in Carrara White Metallic, with the GTS Leather Interior package in Black/Red plus red seatbelts. I have absolutely loved the car but it's time to update it to the new model and the only colour I still really love is the white.
To try and give it a different feel, I have spec'd it with different wheels, added a few of the black gloss accents to door handles/mirrors etc and was thinking of going for the GTS leather interior in Black/Crayon with crayon seatbelts. Has anyone seen this combo and if so, I would value opinions please, bearing mind this is a ladies car, not a man's! :)

The demonstrator that I took my test drive in had the GTS leather/crayon interior and it looked pretty good against a Sapphire Blue exterior. I'm sure it would look fine against white.

What size wheels does your current GTS have? I only ask because some people have reported the 21" wheels giving a harsh ride without air suspension. Mind you, people who haven't gone for air suspension say the ride is fine without (but they would say that wouldn't they :D ).

Have this combination in mine with leather and racetex and a Crayon exterior. It would suit white just as well.
Not the best photo but you get the idea.

Good looking car. It will look great, drive well and offer a perfectly acceptable ride for sporty SUV on 21" black sports classics. The only alternate rim that suits a GTS at least as well as spiders.

I'm pretty sure the crayon stitching/seatbelts will look good with the white paint.

My previous GTS had the silver stitching/seatbelts and that looked slightly sharper, brighter and cleaner than the crayon. It's a shame Porsche no longer offers this, but perhaps it thinks the crayon is close enough.

My GTS (as Paul above) had the silver belts as part of he full GTS MK1 interior (Pics in my signature)

My 992 has crayon belts - not a particularly good pic below but I like the contrast and the belts are more of a silver shade....

Just ordered a crayon Macan with upgraded black leather upholstery and decided on gentian blue stitching and seat belts. Thought I would be bold , hopefully it shall look ok?

Not so bold, almost invisible against the black.

Think Gentian stitching and seat belts will look really nice, BUT, think it will clash with Crayon imo.
