Espresso natural leather

[xbowdan]

I'm contemplating the espresso leather in my Targa GTS, but haven't seen it in person! What's people's views and experience? Better still; anyone in the east of England got it in their 991 who doesn't mind showing me!

Gorgeous, IMO, with the right exterior colour, such as White, GT Silver, Met Black.....

Thanks! I'm looking at Agate grey!

Agate grey would look very classy.

Blue metallic always a favourite with brown/tan interiors for me.

Porsche Silverstone have Targa 4S with Agate Leather (& Houndstooth Cloth) on their fleet.

agate grey won't go well with espresso IMO ..

better to have a lighter exterior with espresso, which is mid way between milk and dark chocolate, colour wise

They also recently specced a 911 Turbo as a showroom car in Crayon with Espresso Leather and a Brown Roof....sold before it hit the showroom as someone wanted it desperately. I'm reliably told it looked the dogs danglies!

I can see it working with Crayon as there is a brown tint to it.

+1 - bad idea. You need some contrast between the colours or exact same.

Espresso is stunning though.

Espresso is lovely works well with Speed Yellow, any pale blue, Nordic Gold or White

I saw a cream/old English white 997 with espresso interior that looks nice ( cookies and cream!)
What about PTS sport classic grey which will make it very unique and I think personally would look stunning?

Thanks for the opinions! I still think the combo works well, certainly looks good imo on this turbo s http://www.top555.co.uk/stock/details/Porsche-911-...

Thanks! I'm still considering Crayon (very close to sc grey) and espresso!

Agate Grey would go very well with espresso, imo!
In fact one of my favorite combinations would be dark blue with espresso, closely followed by a dark grey with espresso.
Have a look at this Rennlist thread about that subject.
Both are very classy combinations! Do it!!

FWIW, I have a silver Panamera with Espresso leather.

I used to be sceptical about brown leather but I think it really suits the car and the wood veneers.

I posted above saying that's my favourite combination too. Classy!!

Thanks everyone! I drove over to Cambridge OPC yesterday to have a look at Crayon in person and was very impressed with the colour! I like Agate, but it's not particularly 'different '!

Subsequently, I've now locked down a spec of Crayon exterior with espresso leather and deviated stitching in acid green!!

Very pleased that I've found something different that I'm happy with and appreciate everyone's positive comments on espresso!

I would have gone for orange for the Terry's chocolate orange effect

bloody hell - well played, like crayon, like espresso, like deviating stitching - but my rule is always 2 colours only so would have gone for crayon/grey stitching

did you get acid green calipers?

I've got PCCB's, so at the moment they're goin to be yellow! But I'm not keen on yellow stitching, a bit over done IMO. Acid green looks quite good against dark brown, and adds a bit of brightness to an otherwise fairly grey-brown spec. It's certainly contrast....
