Thank you all for the kind words! Much appreciated.
@d997h We think alike Decals are planned and will be added once the car is at the dealer. More subtle than orange Gulf-stripes, but still with retro 70s design. That is all I say for now
As to the track reports, I hope we get a chance to meet up on a track in 2014. I will for sure participate in Scuderia and some PSDS events next year with the usual suspects.
@sfo Yes, I considered this for approx. 1.5 seconds I am not going for any interior paint or mixed materials. My minimalist OCD requires it as clean as possible
The test car I drove the other day had two-tone leather, aluminium details, carbon details, etc. and it was just too messy for my taste.

Add the "black" tail lights and the car is perfect.
Congratulations, post many photos when you get your car.

Thanks again!
@Gnil Yes, I am afraid you will mostly see this car from the rear. I would like to already now apologise for that.
@RC Yes, I am almost convinced If you look closely on the rendering it does have the "black" rear lights. The option list does not... yet.

I agree with RC on the wheels...in fact, this would look perfect on this car
Yes, black does look really great on your photo, but... I am tired of black wheels Been there, done that, moving on.
This is Riviera Blue with platinum. Looks great too. IMHO sportier than black.

The color of the rims is actually lighter in reality, so I'm not so convinced. It looks a little bit matte though, which fits the Riviera Blue better.

The back of the Boxster is the nicest part to look at and I am looking forward to share a bear at the local pubs when you' ll pull out your riviera blue key and all the girls will want to join our party

Here is a Rivierablau Boxster US version
I like
(It needs the -20mm sport suspension and a set of 7mm/15mm spacers, then perfect!)

Not the same blue (at least not the real Gulf blue) but I guess no one except us nerds will really notice. Although, I am not planning the above look

Perfection! I really like the platinum wheels, also in real life.
