    Meteor Grey / Terracotta - Anyone have this combo?

    I placed my 2009 FL order this past weekend. I went to the dealer planning to order Basalt/Black, but was blown away by a Meteor/Terracotta 2-tone 997 Cab in the showroom. I've searched this board and others and was only able to find a Cayman with this color combo (below). My decision to go Basalt/Black was because there was really no color that I loved (interior or exterior). My Boxster was black/grey, so I knew I didn't want that combo again, so the Basalt was a little different. I just kept going back to the Meteor cab in the showroom for another look. The terracotta alone is a bit much (there was a Turbo Cab there with all terracotta), but the black dash-top, door-tops and black mats provide a better color balance. The terracotta also adds a real wow factor to an otherwise conservative grey exterior.

    Just to be safe, I do plan another trip to the dealer to make sure I still love the combo before my order is locked in.

    I have seen it in person and the meteor/terracotta combo is a real head turner. I have, however, ordered my car as meteor/natural brown as I found the terracotta a little too reddish in tint for me..

    Stunning

    The only"add" might be deviating carpets in black.

    Agreed.

    Re: Stunning

    I've seen the terracotta interior with deviating black carpet (like the photo below) and I've see it with just black floor mats. Personally, I prefer just the black floormats.

    Re: Stunning

    Here is the interior of a Turbo Cab that is all terracotta.
    BTW: I think these photos are a good represenation of the true terracotta color - at least on my laptop.

    reminds me of silly putty :-)

    Re: Meteor Grey / Terracotta - Anyone have this combo?

    I'm not feeling quite as bold today as I did last Saturday when I ordered the Terracotta interior. As stunning as it was on the Meteor Cab in the showroom, I'm afraid that I might get sick of it in the Meteor Coupe. I now have to decide between black full leather or sand beige full leather or black/sand beige two-tone. I'm pulling my hair out trying to decide as my build may be pulled any day.
    Any thoughts as to the bright beige (makes the interior look more spacious) vs. the classic black?

    Re: Meteor Grey / Terracotta - Anyone have this combo?

    get the two-tone black/sand beige, looks stunning on its own and definitely in combination with Meteor exterior!!
    You will never regret classic black but then again, why by
    such a nice car and not go for the final touch with a more
    'exclusvie' interior.. Most of time (I hope) you will be
    inside the car and a lighter colour does make the inside look spacier ..

    Make sure you see it in real life first, then wait, sleep, watch it again, and decide.

    Good luck!

    Re: Meteor Grey / Terracotta - Anyone have this combo?

    Dude, my dad owned a 2001 Boxster S with the same color combo and it looks great. You'll love it. It's an exciting combination.

    Re: Meteor Grey / Terracotta - Anyone have this combo?

    My feeling is the interior has to contrast with the outside paint: so if the outside paint is dark, the interior needs to be lighter, and vice-versa.

    But there's also the issue with coupe vs cabriolet. What works well in a cab may not work in a coup, where you are really sounded by things (as you discovered with the terracotta.

    With a grey paint, as its in the middle, a dark or light can work. Dark hides the eventual dirt better, but light makes it feel roomier. With a coupe, I'd probably go to the lighter color - to get that more spacious feeling.

    I almost never comment on color combo's; but terracotta is cool for a day or less. Black is sort of same old and expected. The above advice is what you most likely do want.
