Pezky Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Originally wanted a sapphire blue but it seems that 75% of Boxsters/Caymans I see locally (and at OPC Silverstone) are sapphire blue....worried I won't find mine in Waitrose carpark Any other prefered colours? Quite like miami blue or lava orange or just stick with white metallic but that would be the same colour as my skoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until seen next to God's gift to Porsche, the Sapphire Blue. I also looked at Red, White and agate grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning towards miami blue or racing yellow - two opposite ends of the paint pricing Although I'm told the one I am test driving is lava orange.....so might change my mind again....

Greenman Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I wouldn’t worry about it, in 2.5 years of having a sapphire 981 I’ve only seen one other even close and that is Fat Haggis’s Aqua Blue 981 (slightly darker). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply, wrap a couple of white racing stripes down the bonnet, or similar. Failing that, I'd go for Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Days Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 It's the only blue to have (although Aqua is nice too...). The number of people who comment to me that they really like the colour is unbelievable. My 986 was Cobalt Blue and I loved it (blue roof, blue interior too) so when I ordered the 718 I went the same way (blue roof and leather). The blue leather isn't quite as nice as the 986 colour though - it's lighter and doesn't really match with the exterior colour, but it's such a minor detail. Looking at it in isolation it's lovely, but together the combination is a little off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIkeyv60 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I was really tempted with Miami blue but i wanted the red interior and it just didnt go together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaregs Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Two choices, go Sapphire blue or regret it for eternity.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny A Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Quite simply—. No. Sorry but its it’s the only colour to have! And yes I am hugely biased so no need to point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezky Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 no more sapphire blue on new model revision This is the one I test drove. Lava orange it looks red in the picture but is very orange in real life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
