Bordeaux/Black - Neodyme or Darksilver

[masmole]

I guess if you like the Iron Man look, neodyme and bordeaux works well enough.

I believe selecting neodyme also gives a neodyme-like accent to the face of sport chrono, unless you chose the PD clock, which remains the same regardless of accent trim choice.

I have full black leather with dark silver as an option. I like the look. It is also on the GT stearing wheel.

I went for the full black with neo and bordeaux red seat belt.
I was considering bordeaux seats + neo. Saw one in show room, very classy look. But my wife thinks it's a bit too much with the cherry exterior she prefers. Well, wife always wins.

Thanks R - looks great!

I specced bordeaux red with neodyme. I’ve only seen pics online. I like the look. I’ve seen neodyme in person and it’s not as gold as configurator.

Thanks E - much appreciated - I have a request with my OPC to see one if one comes in - but in any case, I will probably take the risk and spec that bordeaux-neo combo even if I can't get to see one before I need to spec it.

Many thanks

1st world problemo...... Thinking of Bordeaux/Black interior. Accent?

Not sure on accent colour (Neo or DarkS), because the colour rendering of Bordeaux on config and in web-pics tends to be oversaturated .... will try to see in OPC but opportunities few and far between.

For most black-brown-blue-beige interiors I like the Neo bling - highlights very nicely - the grey/black of darksilver is a bit Meh....

but not sure if Neo's tending towards the orange-ish side of the spectrum clashes with the Bordeaux?

Anyone got a bordeaux-neo combo? - happy?
.... anyone went for darksilver to a avoid clash?

Thoughts appreciated - thanks.

Too much clash of colour - your interior will look like a Quality Street wrapper.

Keep in mind Porsche's pricing psychology is 10/10. I'm sensitive to it because I work in that industry.

Porsche option = better / more aesthetic.

This isn't true.

The Sport Design carbon package is a good example. Looks horrific, it's a dirt magnet and at a £2,500+ premium.

The accent packages fit that profile. They are gloss painted plastic. Look and feel tacky, especially around the cupholders.

Standard matte black is also plastic, but it's matte black and has a more premium look to it.

It will also look better to have a more uniform interior especially if you are going bold with Bordeaux leather and seatbelts. Bronze or silver means too much is going on in your cabin.

Save yourself the £300 odd quid.

I would imagine you could always get it wrapped or something too if you don’t like it.

It does seem to work well with neutral exterior colours (though I still think the neodyme and red strips together on the doors would look better without that small grey/black section separating them at the front of the door handle).

I was considering the Bordeaux/Neodyme combo as well but after seeing that video, I can't say that it works that well. It's a bit TOO much clashing.

Now if only I can find a video like that showing Chalk interior with Neodyme!

Another annoying quirk - why do they not allow the Neodyme accents with the base Race-Tex interior?

I’ve got a bordeaux / black interior and decided to leave the accents as standard to avoid clashing. I’m glad I did, I think it’s stunning. Can’t give you a picture right now as I’m travelling but I will on my return.
