    Well, well, what a surprise - welcome back Smiley ... what can I say ? A very sporty configuration, though the car could use some orange stripes, couldn't it ? Smiley

    Looking forward to some track driving reports...Smiley


    Re: 981 Boxster S in Riviera Blue

    Congratulations! A Boxster in this color is truly special and very sporty . Looking forward to the photos

    can't wait to see this car!

    did you consider having the sport bucket seat vents painted as well?


    Re: 981 Boxster S in Riviera Blue

    Thank you all for the kind words! wink Much appreciated.

    @d997h We think alike indecision Decals are planned and will be added once the car is at the dealer. More subtle than orange Gulf-stripes, but still with retro 70s design. That is all I say for now angry As to the track reports, I hope we get a chance to meet up on a track in 2014. I will for sure participate in Scuderia and some PSDS events next year with the usual suspects.

    @sfo Yes, I considered this for approx. 1.5 seconds indecision I am not going for any interior paint or mixed materials. My minimalist OCD requires it as clean as possible  The test car I drove the other day had two-tone leather, aluminium details, carbon details, etc. and it was just too messy for my taste.

    Re: 981 Boxster S in Riviera Blue

    Thanks again! wink

    @Gnil Yes, I am afraid you will mostly see this car from the rear. I would like to already now apologise for that.

    @RC Yes, I am almost convinced indecision If you look closely on the rendering it does have the "black" rear lights. The option list does not... yet.

    39E Riviera Blue
    4V Black convertible top
    AZ Black leather interior (I miss the carbon package) I had carbon all over my old Boxster. Not again.
    546 Roll-over bar painted in exterior color (a bit too much in my opinion, black would be the better choice) For this car it should stand out, in my opinion. Check the yellow 981 in the exclusive catalogue. Yellow bars look great, black would be ok too, but not as special and cool.
    635 ParkAssist rear
    498 Deletion of model designation
    220 Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) incl. rear locking differential
    250 Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
    640 Sport Chrono Package
    X73 Sport chassis (-20mm)
    450 Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) (seriously? For a Boxster?) Dead serious. The standard rear discs are so tiny tiny. My mountain bike has more impressive discs.
    XLF Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE)
    423 20-inch Carrera S wheel
    XDH Wheels painted in satin platinum (satin platinum and Riviera Blue? I would rather go with black) I had and have black wheels. Had enough of black.
    482 Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
    454 Cruise control
    810 Floor mats
    CPK Ignition key painted (nice but unnecessary unless you leave your key on the table in the restaurant/bar) I like to to show off in bars. That is how I am.
    P03 Sports bucket seats
    XSC Porsche crest on headrest 
    840 SportDesign steering wheel
    XYA PDK Shifter in Aluminium (why not carbon?) The carbon shifter is the same as the standard shifter, but with a tiny patch of carbon. Silly option. The aluminium is of completely different design. A lot nicer, in my opinion.

    This is Riviera Blue with platinum. Looks great too. IMHO sportier than black.

    The color of the rims is actually lighter in reality, so I'm not so convinced. It looks a little bit matte though, which fits the Riviera Blue better.
