+1 on Cocoa with white. The white stitching would look good but I would worry about it getting dirty.

I like all the leather but on My Turbo S I went with a good bit of the Carbon options.

I may consider Cocoa interior with some Carbon options. Not sure if the color will match. So hard without actual samples to review. I spent 3 hours last night searching all the previous posting on interiors and got a lot of great ideas This forum is a great resource . You guys been great and helpful. Much appreciated.

You may want to check e-bay. They have some white cars with cocoa interior. Not necessarily all turbos but even carreras will give you an idea of how it'll look.

Why not use Porsche's configurator?? That way you can play with several color combos.

Here's the link:

Nice picture.

I will also check out Ebay. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have been playing around with the "built your Porsche" but the color is very different than the actual...I wish they have a way to play with your option using actual photos of Porsche

With a white exterior, you have lots of choices available. Black leather always looks good. Cocoa, red, terracotta all look nice too. With a lighter color interior, consider getting carpets (and maybe the upper dash) deviated black. Painted and carbon fiber interior parts look great, but you have to be careful not to go to over the top. You can really make your car look like a circus if you are not careful. Stitching is another way to add some "pop" to the interior. White, red and yellow stitching all really standout with black.

There are really too many possible combinations to make suggestions at this point.

Here is one I like:
Terracotta with deviated black carpets


My car is linked in my signature - black with yellow stitching - would also look good with painted seats backs.

Really great contrast. The two tone was one of my original choice. I think the black carpet is really nice touch.

If i do the two tone, I may just do the leather extra instead of the Carbon. Like you said, I don't want to overdo it.

The interior looks very warm and inviting, and it has a fairly sophisticated feel to it.

This is so nice. 2 tone, deviating carpeting and painted center.

Cocoa with silver stitching (easier to keep clean than white) & carbon fiber. Mine is GT Silver but you get the idea.

Not sure how to get the big inline pictures to view within the posting...but take a look at my 09. I also did a lot of thinking and planning before pulling the trigger on my build.

Three things I wish I would have gone for but were total oversights: 1) leather sun visors, 2) leather around the door handle trim pieces where the window switches are, 3) black gauges, including a black chrono sport face.

I love the Thicker steering wheel option... a bit over priced but it feels great. Also, the Alcantara seat inlays are worth every penny.

PS: I saw a full Coco Cab Turbo in Florida..white exterior...it was very nice. When I say full, I mean full, everything /every option was done in Coco leather, the leather is really nice. I think its a bit thicker and softer than the standard leather they use. Beware... the leather options add up quickly...it can be pretty easy to get your car over 180K (190K for a cab) if you are not careful and choose wisely.

So you don't feel too bad, door finishers in leather were not available for a good part of 2009. I'm not sure black Sports Chrono gauge was ever a TT option 2007-2009, but I might be wrong.
