Those were the pasha from my old car. I wanted to see if it was too much blue but I kind of like it. Note sure where you see Pepita. The drivers side is the oem seat

Beautiful RS Spyder. Congrats! You're gonna have some fun!

I am assuming that's Manaus Blue (one of my top few PTS blues) which was your final choice in an earlier post I think. I ask that because Manaus is not a metallic paint but your paint closeups look like there is metallic in the paint. No matter, it's gorgeous!

My mistake. The OEM seats are gorgeous . I thought each seat had different fabric. Beautiful car and future classic.

It’s ocean blue metallic. Several different blues in different light.

Peekaboo, I see you!!!

This car is driving nirvana! Every time I start thinking about an exhaust for it I drive it and quickly forget. The sound is intoxicating as is. It so so much more playful the the gt4rs, without all the downforce the backend likes to let you know it loves to wag its tail. So much fun! It quote a famous movie,”It is so choice if you have the means."

I know you're having fun with it. Interesting regarding the sound and handling differences vs the GT4RS that you had before, but your reasoning certainly makes sense - open top for sound and less downforce. Watch out for the Gendarmes! Lol. (I haven't forgotten the pic you posted - that was an easy encounter.) Anyway, back to that "fun" aspect you mentioned...

I locked the build for a 911 PTS allocation that came through last week. Maybe here by June of July.

VBRG - Verde British Racing Green. I'll start a thread at some point.

Pic on my post a bit further down in the thread is from the new 360° views in the updated Configurator. The new 360° views are really cool - and helpful. Plus, vehicle colors are much more accurate than the static config pics which are beyond horrible. I've told others that it's best to NEVER pick a color, standard or upgraded, based on what one sees in the configurator. The colors are so far off. Picking a color solely on what the configurator shows is a recipe for disappointment.

Can also find more accurate Paint To Sample (however, still not perfect) at another Porsche.com site. Pick the Porsche model line and then the color family (or all colors for any given model).

Your Spyder RS Ocean Blue Metallic color in the 718 selections: https://media.porsche.com/paint-to-samp ... uemetallic


Pic below is a generic rendition of a 911 in VBRG from the media.porsche . com PTS site.
