2010 911 C4s Coupe; Carrara White VS. Meteor Grey

Building a 2010 911 C4S PDK and need to decide on exterior color :

Black is my favorite, but pain to keep clean, keep free of swirl marks etc and I already have a Black sedan

Thinking between Cararra White VS. Meteor Grey with black adaptive sport seats with rear center console painted with the exterior color

Also on white/meteor C4S Coupe, any additional exterior /interior trims that bring out the look of the car

i say go white!!!!

however i have noticed that dirt seems to show a lot more on my 997 than other white cars. maybe something about how the wind travels around the car. the rear bumper just gets filthy real fast.

grey is more practical. white will allow you to put nice black or carbon accents later and will look gorgeous with black rims.

silver and gray are a lot easier to keep looking clean. white, not as bad as black, but it runs a close second or third.

Yes, don't be a wus - go for speed yellow and make it look like a proper Porsche so we (by we, I mean I ) can live vicariously through you.

Me too (except for the Prius - which was a mistake (the color, not the car))!

Meteor Gray Metallic all the way. Really can't go wrong with either but I am quite partial to the Meteor Gray on the Porsche!!
