Great spec. Just one query though, as you've gone for the Agate/Pebble interior wouldn't pebble seat belts be a better fit than Garnet Red?

I had Pebble/Agate on my SD and really loved it. Decided to go for the GTS leather/Alcantara interior with red stitching (and seatbelts) for my GTS.

Big spec indeed but have to agree and second On Track’s comment. Also previously had Pebble and Agate with belts in Pebble, it looked just right and no issues with staying clean. IMHO just think this look is So Wrong 😩

If the exterior of the car is anything other than Red then yes, but with a red exterior it does provide a sort of link

That was the idea - the link to the exterior. I think pebble seatbelts would just be lost with the pebble seats so I discounted them and I also wanted to make the interior a bit (more) different to what I currently have. Still time to change my mind, but I probably won’t.

I had the Porsche Crest embossed on the front and back headrests with my Agate/Pebble interior and they just looked lost in the Pebble. I vowed not to do that again. Your picture confirms that the GTS embossing on the seat backs looks equally lost on a Pebble seat back.

At least the GTS embossing isn’t a cost option.

Was there anything you didn't spec😅
I managed to resist Porsche Entry and Drive.
Big oversight in my opinion. Will be of way more value than an ioniser and flaky speed limit display.

Still have time to change my mind, but isn’t it a potential additional security vulnerability. If you have to keep the key in a Faraday bag and take it out of the bag to open the door, it’s not much more effort to take an ordinary key out of your pocket and press a button. I wouldn’t want to leave the dummy key in the ignition, it might encourage some toe rag to smash the windows to try to drive away. Of course, it could be taken out and hidden away, but then what is the benefit over using an ordinary key. Or am I missing something?

Your not missing anything here, even Porsche put in their own disclaimer 😏
