I recently placed 10% deposit with my dealer for my ice blue metallic Turbo S with the blue/black interior. I now have a Comm# and an estimated build date of early June with a target delivery date in Oz of late August, early September. It's been a long wait but it will have been worth it considering I placed a smaller deposit for this car 2 years ago.

Anyway, the reason for the thread is that I spoke to the dealer a few days later regarding the outer door sill options. I prefer the look of the carbon sills over the standard Turbo S sills. I was hoping to add the illuminated carbon sills to the order but when he checked with PCA they told him that it would delay the build by 3 months

As I'm not prepared to delay the build I will stick with the standard Turbo S sills. Has anyone on the forum ever chosen the XES option "Preparation outer door sills guards - illuminated" and then retrofitted the carbon sills when they became available? If so is it hard to do?

Love your color combo choice!
I chose a full natural brown leather interior for my S,as an elegant way to compliment a dark blue exterior...and now you have me thinking about the blue black one

Didn't know of the "Preparation" option. Experiences that other owners I know have had in adding after delivery options has been problematic at best. I have the stainless illuminated sills and like many of the other options I got they've become sort of passe. I'd say forget it. After all the only time you'll see them is when the door is open.

 

Is there a 2011 Turbo S ordering guide available? I just ordered a Turbo S Cab a few days ago but was told to reference the 2010 Turbo option guide for my order which doesn't make sense. Please let me know. Thanks!

 

A few weeks ago,for a few days,the "build your Porsche"option for the new Turbo and TurboS was available on the European web sites...then was quickly removed
I had my mind set on a turboS cab, so went over to my local dealer(with whom i have a very good history)to enquire about ordering one
I was told that they had one of 4(for the whole year,some dealers having none!)TurboS available for April build and end of May delivery(in my case pick-up at the factory)
So i put down a 10% deposit, and the dealer accessed an ordering guide only available to Porsche,and started going through all the options available
Whoever told you to use the 2010 turbo option guide as a reference was misinformed,because the availability of some options are EXCLUSIVE to the Turbo S,and DO NOT appear on the 2010 guide...
