    In the background is a wallpaper frm the Boxter and not the BoxterS so it must from 17'wheels
    And no red calipers.

    Re: Boxster at Paris

    Yup, thats a 2.7 with the standard 17" wheels.

    They are not great but they are much better than the current standard 2.7 wheels.... Definately need an upgrade to the S wheels or ideally 19" Carrera S wheels...

    Hope we get some pictures of the 3.2!!!!

    Re: Boxster at Paris

    I think that the 17" wheel design is nice, but is now too small due to the 987's exagerated arches. Glad that I've gone for the 18" S wheels.

    MikeN - I think that the car has full leather. In the UK at least you are not able to order partial teracotta leather.

    Re: Boxster at Paris

    I like the 17"s.....much better looking then the present 17"s and IMO better looking then the new 18"s. I might have to go with the 19"s then.

    Atlantis - Vapor lock on my part.....the Teracotta is full leather. Anyone know if the center column is leather on all levels, or just the full leather options?

    Mike,
    I too would have gone with the 19s, but the upgrade cost is nearly Pounds2k in the UK (18s are a more paletable Pounds700).

    Don't know about the leather centre console, sorry.

    the side vent looks like an afterthought, almost exaggeratted and overdone , likely in an effort to differntiate it from the inevitable 997 turbo.

    I really like the combination of Silver/Teracotta! Can you order silver with cream/beige?

    What would we do without the net!

    Thanks for the posts guys, great pics.

    Not sure about the yellow, but those 19"s definately finish the car off!!!! Shame about the Pounds2k they steal from you for the pleasure!!!!!

    This is just my opinion but I have seen a few Silver on Beige Porsches before and not liked any of them.....to me I just don't think the two colors go together at all.

    Silver looks great with Blue, Black, Terracotta, Cocoa, Stone and Natural Grey. Again just my opinions....nothing more!

    One combo that I'm thinking of is Black on Terracotta with deviated black carpeting.

    That pic has got me thinking the same too. The only thing with black is that the silver side air vent looks a bit odd. Really needs to be body coloured.
