Re: Boxster GTS - evo magazine
ISUK:
Deviating stitching is ridiculously expensive...... been there, done that (albeit with a 987.2)
.....and from some of the ones I've seen easy to get wrong - too much looks busy and not enough looks like some have been missed. I do like the deviated stitching with the GTS Interior pack - another option - less sporty and GTS exclusive I agree- but only £250 extra - is the agate / platinum bi-colour leather which comes with deviated stitching as standard. Bit worried how practical the very light coloured platinum leather is with an open top car though.

Especially the sound.
Really excited over the prospect of returning to Porsche, something six months ago I wouldn't have thought possible. Fate also showed us the way with giving us a get out with the BMW 335d we'd ordered. As long as SWMBO can get on with the sport seats, adaptive or otherwise, I want to really think long and hard about options after our last new Porsche - the Cayman S - we got so wrong, largely because we made the mistake that we believed the salesman knew what he was talking about. 
but a lot cheaper than the £2k GTS interior which I've pretty much excluded on cost grounds.
- white with espresso natural leather is the way to go, not many exterior colours would blend well withe espresso so that helped sort the exterior colour too 
I'm still thinking about roof colours, as unlike ISUK's all white car there is a lot of black exterior trim on the GTS and I'm worried that brown might loook a bit out of place although it does introduce a bit of exterior non-monochrome colour.
) as they have what I would call a "softer" aesthetic finish with the contrast of the diamond cut face and the grey painted inner faces. It would not have looked so good in my opinion with a silver finish wheel (too insipid a contrast), platinum finish (too many colour clashes going on), or the black finish (colour clash and very bling).
