Much better with the black calipers there.

Surely for the sake of such a small amount, the spare wheel is a no brainer? Even though "most people don't go for it" then just means most people are idiots lol Having had a puncture, you really appreciate having a spare wheel in the boot, specially on a cold dark night. Fannying about with sealant in the dark is going to be a nightmare.

I think it really could work but I certainty understand the outside is too busy with the red callipers. If I drop the storage pack (to avoid having it confused with a '92 Mondeo) and speed limit indicator, then I could swallow the cost of the black callipers.

If I did go for the red stitching, then it's frustrating the GTS logo isn't also in red.

Good point on the spare. I asked the sales guy about it and he said hardly anyone goes for it and I'd be fine with the standard sealant and compressor.
Forget what I have previously posted about not commenting on another person's taste or bling - my mother says "Green and Blue will Never Do" and she's right.

Oh, the Storage pack, I included it.

Underseat storage useless.
Under parcel shelf storage, practically useless.
Storage pockets on the rear of the front seats, useful for whatever. In my case a good old fashioned map book and room for a compact brolley and beanie hat in the other.

I have listened to the masses and my spec is now changed - http://www.porsche-code.com/PPXB3NY5

Thanks for helping me to avoid a huge mistake :oops:

I was trying to go for something unusual, but there is obviously a reason why no one else had gone for this combo :lol:

I really wanted contrasting seatbelts and while the configurator doesn't show it it does state the pack comes with Carmine belts. Shame it won't allow the matching rev counter with the GTS pack.

Also included the spare wheel and dropped the storage pack.

My last question mark is over the Carbon PDK selector. I picked it to tie together with the steering wheel and interior, but is it that noticeable? I think the standard one is still in Race-Tex with the pack anyway.

How would this be different to plugging something in the ciggy socket? This will end up being connected somewhere to a fuse box. You can ask OPC about this but as far as I can see you are not cutting into wires

You do get the Carmine red rev counter. Select “interior” and scroll down to red rev counter and it is priced at £0.00 - I am pretty sure that’s because it’s included…

I don't think I do get the Carmine rev counter, which is not a big issue (not listed as part of the Carmine GTS pack, and when you try to option it you have to remove the GTS pack). Strange why they don't allow it though (especially as they will gladly allow me to spec Gentian with Python interior :lol: )
