Uh, hello? Have you been reading recent posts?

 

I still like it most out of the three colors personally, but when I saw it in person I was not blown away with it. Mayby it's because it's not a metallic color. I don't know... Normally I don't really like solid colors. On the pictures I thought it was awesome and I immediately loved the car, but in person it was just not as great as I hoped it would be.
That's why I started doubting and why I think I'm gonna cancel it. Don't want to take the risk of being not completely happy with the car afterwards.

I respect your opinion, of course. I guess one has to get his/her mindset into retro non-metallic to appreciate the Graphite. I think it's awesome. I don't need "sparkles", but that's just me.

 

Personally, I think you have made the right decision... as you know, I deliberated for weeks on this decision too, and I am more convinced than ever that I decided correctly to skip the 911_50th... the clincher was definitely the colour choices.

What colour is your C4S Cab going to be?

 

I've been to the dealership today where I've canceld the 911-50 and changed the C4S cab in a C4S coupe in rhodiumsilver with agate interior and silver deviated stitching. Traded my Audi Q5 for it, so the C4S will be owned by my company. (That way I don't have to pay VAT). Our privat car is probably going to be a Boxster but we're not completely sure about that yet.

What wheels are you speccing Suzy ? Platinum silk gloss looks perfect with silver car!

 

Carrera Classic wheels. Loved those wheels from the moment I saw them, when the car was introduced.

Suzy991, you made the right decision by ordering the C4S, the color combination you chose will be outstanding. The more I look at the 911-50 Graphite Gray, it looks more like BATTLESHIP Gray to me personally. Enjoy your new choice.....

 

I'd still go GT3 and get a Boxster for the DD. If you're getting two Porsches, I'd get one of the exotic ones.

 

But I don't want a GT3.... If I wanted one I would have ordered it. Or weren't you talking about my choice?

Couldn't help thinking about this after your comment.

Hahaha! she's awesome. I met her a few times. Very nice lady.
Don't get me wrong. I would like to have a GT3 to drive on a track, but not to drive on the road as a daily driver or as a second car that will be driven almost daily by my GF.

Although I drive a convertible right now, and have owned a few in my life, I specifically ordered my Carrera as a Coupe, it just seemed like the right thing to do.

You can do that with your VAT over there? Gee, you guys are lucky! Over here VAT can only be claimed on utility vehicles (pickups)... there is even an exclusion that it cannot be a double-cab.

The taxman always gets his cut!

I'm not completely wild about the Rhodium, it has a tinge of bronze or something in it that I find off-putting (personal opinion of course), I would have gone for Platinum instead.

Enjoy!

 

Just for your information: the platinum is the one with the bronze hue in it, but it's not available anymore on MY2014. Rhodium has a sort of blueish hue (close to polar silver or BMW Ice-silver). The GT-silver is more a classic silver, but darker dependig on the light. GT silver is a very nice color, but more expensive.

Aaaah! I will need to educate my salesman then... because I drove what he called a Rhodium Silver last week, he obviously meant it was the Platinum then.

Blue-ish hue is much better than bronze!
