    I like it very much so . Is this an Exclusive option? I know it is not offered in the option list.

    Actually Ron two tone interior (black and stone grey) appears on both the Porsche.com site and in the .pdf buyer's guide.

    Very nice!

    I always wished two-tone was available for US 986s. I'd love to have black/boxster red interior.

    Very nice! I love it! Thanks KF!
    I wonder how much it costs compared to the full leather interior,
    That combinaition in particular would be nice with black exterior I think.
    Really nice.
    BTW KF, I just checked you gallery and it is great! Thanks for posting so many pics!

    Re: Interior Bi-Color black/grey

    It is the same cost as the "base" full leathers (black, blue, etc.).....you just need to ask for it. Nice looking!

    Re: Interior Bi-Color black/grey

    Thanks Mike,
    I had no idea you could do that.
    It's quite rare I gues.
    Works really well with grey/ black.
    Is it mentionned anywhere on the Porsche website?
    TIA.
    Nice picture.
    I wonder if stronger contrasts would work well too, like beige and black for example.
    This is the sort of thing that we see in Ferrari and Maseratis usually, the two tones interior, very nice.

    Re: Interior Bi-Color black/grey

    I like it, and I usually hate grey leather (reminds me of airplane seats...) I like the way it breaks up the dash into two sections.

    Do you know if they do other two-tone combos? I would love to see black/sand or black/cocoa.

    Hi Fanch,

    Please don't misunderstand, the only two-tone combination I have seen listed is the one pictured above, black and stone grey. Others may be possible as Exclsuive options but they are not currently listed in the regular options list.

    Sorry, but there is a difference of exactly Euro 248,- incl. VaT here in Germany.

    There are no other combination.

    Thanks very much for the Pics. I've ordered it on my new boxster (due march) and have been looking for some photos for ages!!..The Porsche web site impression isn't that great.

    Thank you.

    Re: Interior Bi-Color black/grey

    Yes, I wish Porsche would do a little more of this as a standard item. You can however order any type of combo such as this through the "Exclusive Options" section.

    My dealer has a 996 in a Graphite Grey / Met. Blue combo such as this.....with the seat centers being blue along with the carpet.....but the rest of the interior is Graphite. Exterior is Midnight Blue......stunning combo, but these type of custom options cost $$$, but anything can be done. You want black/sand or black/cocoa.....you could probably get it done with enough $$$.

    Usual Porsche website car configurator,... http://www2.uk.porsche.com/english/gbr/home.htm...
    The trick is selecting "all colours" on interior options and you will find two tone listed there.

    Good luck

    Re: Interior Bi-Color black/grey

    The other nice thing about this is the lack of annoying reflection on windshield on sunny days from a grey dash top. One could also order deviating black carpet (with grey mats) to match the seat color pattern .

    Re: Interior Bi-Color black/grey

    to confirm this is the only bi-colour option in UK, ion an S it costs Pounds1355 v the normal Pounds1117 for full leather in std colours

    other combos would be possible through exclusive (Cayenne offers some diff ones) though they would be sell-a-kidney prices
