Blackberry does look stunning. That with Chalk outside would be amazing :)

Side note - just got told illuminated sills are not available - Porsche kicked back the order b/c of that. Was told delivery in January.

Sorry to hear about the delay. I too chose that option instead of the puddle lights.

Guess I lucked out since my 4S was built a few weeks ago with the brushed aluminum illuminated sills.

After seeing all these posts and going super deep in picture land - changed our build from SGN/Chalk to Copper Red/Chalk.
I have the SGN on order and have no concerns about the colour. For no other reason than being interested, could i ask what changed your mind? It does seem quite a controversial colour really and it would be interesting to know how different people perceive it. I currently have an IG Taycan which most people i know see as White!

The thread showing real pictures in another section did it for me when they showed a very similar color on a VW. It just looked dull to me. We were going to do SGN and Chalk and changed to Copper red. Ultimately, I think I like the contrast of the dark/light better. SGN seems a little dull and muted in the pics I have seen.

Yes, I know where you are coming from. I did have some reservations when i saw the first pics, but my order was locked in anyway. Then i saw a 911 in the flesh. Different curves etc i know, but under UK skies it really was a slate colour.... so different to the VW iD cars so i felt better! I will add some gloss black somewhere... mirrors and side skirts which i should have specced really.... got the red interior too so that will distract from the external colour!! It will be here in a week or so....... time will tell 😬

Here are my pictures. I really like the color in person - it really changes based on the lights.

I also added one photo next to my crayon taycan if it helps anyone.

I have to say that the red interior is amazing, definitely the best part!

I'll post my impression (compared to the Taycan too) in another post later this week!

Well that looks fantastic and thanks for posting. An acquired taste this colour I think but certainly looking forward now to getting mine!
