Gorgeous car - congratulations!

Regarding the stitching here are some -photos-.

Porsche seems to love to mixing stitching rather than making it easy to deviate the whole car. My wife's Cayenne Turbo S has different stitching on the seat compared to the rest of the car. It is likely you could have optioned the car so that all stitching was blue, but it would have added substantially to the cost and might have been difficult since none of us really knew what the "standard" Turbo S stitching would look like. You would need to check the order guide to know for certain and that might even be a bit unclear.

The color is no where as dark as the I phone camera is showing. I will get better pictures if the sun ever comes out here been cloudy for a week.

Color is stunning I took a leap of faith with the help of Eric at Bumper Plugs boy am I glad I did.

Congratulations are in order mate. It has been a long wait but obviously worth it. I must say I do like the blue you picked. Won't be too many around that colour.

It doesn't seem so long ago that I was talking to my dealer about the Turbo S. That was just before I turned 50 and the car arrived just before I turned 53

As for the stitching I've attached pictures of mine. The stitching around my PCM does not look black nor does it look like the light blue on the dash. Not too clear so will get better ones later.

The color of your Pcm matches my Pcm and leather top on console and PDK Surround but my dash and seats are blue you can see it in photos I guess I better just be happy the blue stitching it is very sharp really stands out great wish the PCM matched but it doesn't look out of place just blends in. Suppose to see sun tomw I will get photos and post.
