mr.tourette23 Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Am i right in thinking I have some kind of extended leather? the dash and door cards do seem to have leather on them and other cars i see online have plastic looking surface on the dash. Specs i can see on the sheet are 09971 custom tailoring and 981 leather interior but no mention of extended leather but it certainly looks different to some other cars on autotrader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 You have your dash and door cards covered in leather yes, it was an option and must have imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two items at the top of my next car list (if it's another 981), PSE + Leather dash. Even though they made the leather feel like plastic to some extent, don't know why they couldn't have added a little bit of squish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Not 981 but we had a discussion about 987 red interiors, with some photos of different cars, and the myriad of combinations about what could be red and what could be black was remarkable. I wonder if the leather/plastic discussion is similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenman Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Yes looks very much like you have the extended leather on that picture. Can’t see the attraction myself, not saying it isn’t nice but on a sports car having leather on somewhere you never interact with is so low down my priority list. The sport design wheel on the other hand, yes please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Sport design wheel would also have to be on my "next car list". Not fussed about my Sport Chrono though, I'll get a flatblade screwdriver and prise it off the dash for the classifieds 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest PSE was my only must have but I seem to have got a well specced car and the extended leather is very nice touch 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozzykim Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 My musts, for the unicorn car were: PDK 'S' Sport design steering wheel PSE DAB module Blue, Grey or Silver (no black red or white cars) I got Sapphire Blue, which is growing on me, mainly due to the number of admiring comments I'm getting. I didn't want: Chrono, because of worrying about reliability/cost of the PADM mounts, and not seeing the point of launch control. I would have liked: Memory multi way seats, but that wasn't to be. I also got, though not on my list: Extended leather. Red seat belts (that aren't on my option sheet as far as I can see). Logo'd mats A plethora of 12V and interface ports. A very nice set of easy to clean wheels, though I'm not sure what they're called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows what setting a target and perseverance can get you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham BGTS Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Sapphire Blue is a great colour & I get many favourable comments about my BGTS in that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Days Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Mine too. I went with a blue leather interior along with a blue roof. I had it on my 986 which was all blue too. The blue leather on the 718 is not a similar colour to the 986 and the exterior paint was also different; I preferred the 986 colour combination, but I'll just have to live with the 718 now - had it 6 years so far.
