    Black/Grey Twin Leather

    Finally time to move on from my 6.5 year Boxster. Seen a great deal on a new C4 Seal Grey, but with the twin Black/Grey leather. From a dealership about 100 miles away. Before I go all that way to see it, has anyone seen that in the flesh? It could be really classy or like something out of a 70's Hugh Hefner mansion?

    Re: Black/Grey Twin Leather

    I saw that black/grey combination in a basalt black C4S and it looks really classy I think. I have orinary black in my car but would consider the dual-tone combo with grey/black if I would order once over... On a seal grey car it will look stunning. Keep in mind however that seal will be replaced by meteor grey for MY07

    Good luck with your purchase!

    Re: Black/Grey Twin Leather

    I've seen a C4S cab, and my Atlas C2S coupe is on order with the two-tone black and stone grey. I thought it was stunning - and felt it was the best of the 2 tones. The black and terracotta is cool too, but I just didn't have the balls to order such an avant garde combo - the black/grey is much more subdued.

    Wow. This is the fast lane... two responses in 8 mins. I saw the colours on the porsche car configurator but its not the same as real life. I agree the other two twin combos look a bit too "trendy".

    Re: Black/Grey Twin Leather

    Black/Grey is gorgeous, classy and understated. Go for it, you will love it.
    I wish the seats were two-tone like in the Boxster, though. In the 911, they are just grey, whereas in the Boxster, the sides are black.

    I like the black/sand interior as well, but I'm no fan of black/terracotta. It just looks too busy, too many colors.

    Yes, BLK/Grey is gorgeous! After I saw it in person, I knew I had to have it for my baby.

    Re: Black/Grey Twin Leather

    I've ordered it, sight unseen, pick up on Saturday. You guys better be right! Will post a picture... hey it started snowing here again (in Switzerland) today so I might even get to try the 4wd... could be interesting on 19 inch summer tires.

    Trust us, you won't regret it.

    As for the snow thing, I hope you like donuts, because the AWD won't save you!
    It's still better than the 2WD but you'll have to be VERY careful on your way home.

    I have the 2 tone black/ stone grey interior on my C4s.

    Trust me - it's beautiful and extremely elegant. The colors complement each other perfectly!

    Checked my pics. Nothing. Photos of the combo seem to be rare.

    Re: Black/Grey Twin Leather

    Woke up early... beautiful crisp spring day, snow all gone. Collect car at 12:00.

    Concerning snow and P/cars my experience has been v.good with the Boxster even without PSM or TC. Albeit on winter tyres of course... The only problem is ground clearance if it has snowed really heavily.

    Will post pics later.

    Thanks Damian!

    Now I'm thinking I should change my order to the black floor mats- looks great in the pictures.

    Nice combo. Also like the blk/bge combo. I think blk mats put the bow on the whole two-tone interior package. Very nice!
