I've gone for Gentian Blue over Two-Tone Black/Crayon and my final decision is accent packages. Doesn't seem to be a huge amount I can find when searching and there aren't many 'real life' pictures from what I can tell.

Neodyme is current favourite for it's nice warm feel, quite classy I think.

Does anyone have pictures of their cars with the various packages?

Please share if so :)

Nice colour combination. I have the dark silver accents with black leather, but the accents are a bit underwhelming and they are only plastic. I was expecting metal for the cost. They look better in the photos below than in real life.

I like that, and I've gone for the ambient lighting too.

It's really difficult making these decisions when the dealer is just a bit too far away and doesn't have demos with these options.

Alex,
It looks like we’ve both gone for very similar colour combinations. Like you I also came very close to going Crayon/black wheels.

My spec is below, and I should be collecting either Friday or a week today so can send you pictures if you wanted? Only thing on the below I couldn’t get was the black lettering, would have delayed the build, so I binned it off:

Lovely spec Luke, I know the comfort access is convenient but are you not worried it could be an easy way to steal the car?

Please do post pictures!

Alex, if someone is going to steal the car I think they’re going to do with regardless. We live in a rural location with a gated drive, however you can never be totally secure.
On my previous car I just really begrudged the key access.
I suppose time will tell!! Excited to get my hands on it now, like everyone it has been a long time coming.

There is a way to turn off the comfort access. Get my car on Wednesday and will post but I think it’s holding the key fob down for 5 seconds. I read it in the manual I think.

Would you say they were worth it and would you option them again or go without?

I'm speccing dark silver accents with Crayon leather interior, however, I have seen the neodym (I don't like the colour, reminds of a grandmas jewellery box) accents IRL and...

The accents are shockingly tacky for a £!00K+ car.

Made of plastic.

I'm still speccing them though as they are otherwise black, though I wonder if that looks better.

The standard black accents are matte finish, while the accents are polished.

Polished plastic looks tacky.

I've gone with the "standard" black on my Turbo S with Crayon/Black interior. I thought the same, the polished plastic looked tacky and added another finish into the car.

Car should have been completing build today (although I guess not) so once it is here I'll get some pictures!

Please do! I would love to see your interior... and I am sure that's the first time anyone has said that to you ?

I'm speccing Crayon interior, but undecided about accent package simply because of how disappointing the finish was (noedym, which I've touched) and dark silver, which I've seen pics of.

Be great to see pics of your build once it is delivered regardless, so don't be shy posting a thread when it's arrived.

Found this, and it does look good Crayon leather without the accents:

My thoughts too. DarkSilver looks particularly cheap on the panel between the steering wheel and the main dash display. I also thought with 2 tone black and red leather that another interior finish (especially on the doors) was too much.
I've found the galleries of used approved vehicles on the Porsche website a good resource when speccing interior finish.

This says to me I can spec the £700 Porsche Design clock without feeling guilty now I'm probably dropping the accent package!

In my GTS test drive last week, I thought the standard sub-second clock also looked tacky, both the face and the digital display.

Porsche seem to love making all interior look like dross unless you option it. I find the rear seat ventilation block awful unless the 4-way digital display ventilation unit is optioned, which I will be doing... Despite me being the only person in the car most of the time ?‍♂

I've gone for the body coloured accent option on an ice grey exterior with blackberry interior so hoping it works!
