Does not look good in Green IMO. The Laser Blue looks superb though!

A mere detail, but is there an option to have non ref calipers? All the cars I've seen have them, black would be 8) on the green car.

Black or Red calipers on normal brakes; Black or Yellow on 2 piece disks (Performance Brake upgrade) - different caliper colours are no-cost option

The car is Krypton Green, special order

I'm with Justin - doesn't look as good as I expected it would, so ( in my dreams) my order will be for red ... or black... or Chrome Orange, or blue. :?

Quite like the look of the Krypton green, but I think Solar Yellow and Chrome Orange look better.

Seeing as there's been a fair bit of Boxster Spyder chat within this thread I thought I'd share a couple of photos I took today.
