Carlos,
The scenery is as stunning as the vehicle. Truly magnificent on both counts.
One question though on your photos of the retracted roof: Does the roof retract even further? The Flash animation on the web special shows the roof as fully retractable, with no glass "seam" showing.
For parking reasons a Cabrio is not for me. The Targa has piqued my interest, as previously I was resigned to ordering the coupe and putting up with the small sunroof.

Hello Chatty, welcome to the board, and congratulations on your order. Unfortunately, I'm afraid light colors will always require more care. It's a trade-off. Bright colors look much more lively and don't turn the car into an oven (the greenhouse effect was invented here ) - yet again, you'll need to be extra careful.
Speaking of color combos, I played a bit with Photoshop. I always preferred the 987's bicolor interior layout to the 997's, and tried to improve a bit on it. What do you think of the following setup?
Black/Tan interior
Black floor mats with tan piping
Deviated carpets (black)
Deviated rear console (black leather)
Deviated storage compartment lid with Targa 4S logo (black)
Deviated seat backs (black leather)
Deviated Bose subwoofer in leather (black)
Deviated bass speaker grill (black leather)
Medium loudpspeaker grill in leather
Deviated center console (black)
Deviated door handle (black leather)
The last 4 options do not exist currently (the speakers are supposed to be the same color, and the center console is supposed to be the same color as the lower half of the dashboard), but I hope Exclusive will be willing to do it (I know, they're already laughing all the way to the bank... )

Thanks for the photoshop pic. I have not spec yet but when i add all that i want i start to get close to the turbo! i think i will go for midnight blue as i like carlos pics and a similar colour set up inside! sorry to copy....actually i really liked the logo on the center console and the handbrake. these options are not on the uk site and really opened my ideas to extra options i did not know......last question.....do i get the 4s or 4....i will up spec the wheels to sports anyway and do the PSE....so looks is same but the less power is ok...i not a racer but a lover! but is it worth the extra for the 4S? I am thinking the extra saved can be spent on all those lovelt extras! or is the 4S worth the extra over the 4?
