Cobalt with black & terracota

Some of you might remember I placed my order for a 4S approx. a month ago in basalt balck with black & sandbeige bi-color. I have now two weeks to do any changes... I added some bits and pieces, e.g. sunroof (please do not laugh

), tyre pressure monitor, XPA steering wheel, etc. Now I want to change the color... find the black.sandbeige a bit too dull. I visited my dealer and he had a turbo with cobalt, black/terracota bi-color. I found it awesome and I am seriously thinking to get it as well. Do any of you have any experience with this combo? Will I still like it in a year or two? I am really frustrated

with the color choices so please any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Cobalt with black & terracota

Not sure about Black/Terracota, but I have a C2S in Black, with Black/Sand Beige. I love it, and it gets a lot of compliments from people when I'm driving around - especially when the roof is down.

Re: Cobalt with black & terracota

I have cobalt + stone grey for 15 months now and still like it. Not very surprising, since I'm living with zenith blue + classic grey in my 993 for about 10 years now

. I could also think of cobalt + sea blue, cobalt + black, cobalt + sand beige, cobalt + bi-color black-grey but cobalt + terracotta, shudder

IMHO, cobalt + bi-color black-terracotta is not much better. Hmm, I should add that next to palm green I like terracotta the least, so I'm biased

I have a 911 brochure from 06/2004 that contains a suggested color combinations sheet. Unfortunately, there is no cobalt in there and no bi-color but they list the suggested combinations for lapis blue: black, stone grey, sand beige, sea blue, natural grey and natural brown, but no cocoa, no terracotta and no palm green.

Re: Cobalt with black & terracota

I'm glad to hear someone feels that black is a little too boring. Try the Cobalt Blue with natural brown.

Re: Cobalt with black & terracota

I made my color changes and the order is now final and locked... Finally I went with GT Silver and Cocoa full leather. I also added all the leather bits to have everything match cocoa. Now the wait starts. Delivery expected in Jan 2007...
