    2500 Miles - Slate / Terracotta Pictures

    I have 2500 miles on the car and I couldn't be happier. There is a minor compression squeak coming from the front and I had Porsche look at it, but they couldn't find anything. Other than that, the car seems to be driving better now than it did when I first got it. I just hope the Cayman S isn't prettier in person. Hope everyone is enjoying their cars as much as I am.

    fanch,
    you will never regret Slate Gray, believe me. One of the best colors on Porsche by far.

    I had the same issue with my front suspension. My service department solved the problem by tightening a specific part of the front suspension. The squeaky noise has been gone ever since. If you're interested in the details of the job, I can send you my service department's information.

    Regards,

    No a bit too much for me.
    I went with all black interior. Not original, but can't get it wrong either.

    Fanch - that's the same combo as me - Slate Grey with Black interior. Looks fantastic although the black leather gets very dusty (more so than in previous cars I've noticed... )

    I had just commented that I wasn't sure that Slate and Terracotta would work together. I was wrong!! That really looks sharp! Congrats!

    Ever seen Slate with Nephrite Green? It works, and this is why. Notice the reds? That's why Terracota works well with Slate too.

    Curious why the slate is a $3k option as opposed to atlas.

    Gentlemen, if I may... . It appears your terminology is a bit misleading. Overriding attraction to Porsches is not to be confused with the "virtues" of addiction; to be correct one must incorporate the exigencies of misplaced or sublimated sexual desire in one's conception of the affectation.

    Nice combo , but slate ( roof shingles ) / cocoa ( siding ) would have matched you garage better !

    That's actually a very nice combination. Although Terracotta is a bit too much for me by itself, it compliments Slate very nicely. And Slate is such a beautiful color
    Thanks for posting

    Re: 2500 Miles - Slate / Terracotta Pictures

    I had put a deposit on a Boxster S originally before switching my order to a 997. I specced it w/ Slate Grey, and when the car came in I got a chance to see it and I knew then that it was worth the additional cost. Combined with the Terracotta you have a stunning car inside and out.

    Congratulations to you
