Yes, that is Gentian Blue Metallic. It is a fun color because it changes depending on the light.

Completely agree. very nice

I just saw that my Spyder arrived at Emden on 12/11, a week early. Anybody have any concerns that the pending lockdown in Germany is going to affect cars getting onto ships?
Once you see that your car is V332 status (exit Emden) how do you know what ship it is on?
thanks
Ian

On topic but in wrong sub-forum: mine arrived today. Money changes hands tomorrow. Pickup Wednesday.


Cool seat cushions, much like mine!

Yours, however, are Alcantara (“Race-Tex”) not Sport-Tex, yes?

No, the outer portions of the LWBS are leather and the center cushions are OEM Sport-Tex material...

If you have an extra minute there’s a Chalk Spyder without the 718 script in the back too. 🙂 TIA

You can check the port website and make a pretty good guess which ship it is on based on the ships' schedules and their destinations. The easier method is just to have your SA tell you. He or she will get the ship's name in the Porsche vehicle system. You can then Google that ship and track it across the Atlantic with one of the free ship tracking sites.
