Sea blue interior pictures please

Hi all, I am considering sea blue for the interior, with aluminum finished (including back of seat), maybe some of you can post pictures for me to check out if you have sea blue - thanks

Saved these - thought about duplicating this scheme in my car as thought it was gorgeous. It is somebody's car from 6speed but I don't remember who.

thx for sending this, I like it, I just wonder how it looks like in real life, will it be too much blue? Some of these pics almost looks two tone--gray/blue. But I am pretty sure it is all sea blue. The little swatch in the brochure looks almost gray with a hint of blue. Have u heard about the 20 more HP change for 09?

here are pics of my tt with a sea blue interior. it looks blue-ish in bright light conditions but looks dark gray under low light. i put a black racquet cover inside for comparison.

EDIT: i also noticed that SB interiors look more blue on lighter colored cars and darker on darker colored cars. i would have thought it was the other way around.

thx for posting the pictures, love the yellow! Looking at the pic, it is same color for the stitching, right? And seat back in sea blue as well? I have gray now in my C2S, so I wanted to have something with a hint of color. I am thinking of going with aluminum finished and sea blue. Thanks you all for posting the pictures, feel free to post more interior pics for me to check out

to answer your questions:

- same color for the stitching - yes
- seat back in sea blue - yes, i have the standard seats as i carry my golf bag in the back and it scratches the seat backs badly
- feel free to post more interior pics for me to check out - what views would you like, i can take more pics; i'll try some low light conditions with a tripod to to show you the gray-ish look

Nice! If it is no trouble, LOVE to see the interior pics under natural outdoor light. I really love yellow and white TT, but I am most likely to go with one of the darker gray. Definitely sea blue for the interior. If it is not much trouble, you can take similar angles as wut imcarnuts posted. The more, the better --I really appreciate your help! The little pics in the Porsche brochure are just way too small for me. Big Thanks
