Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have just placed my deposit on a new Spyder, but the dealer (in the UK) tells me Porsche are not doing colour to sample. I have seen a few images of Spyders in colours that are not available on the Porsche website. I desperately want Fashion Grey on mine, but I am being told they cannot do it. Is it really a cannot or 'will not'? Any help much appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Porsche only open the Paint To Sample window for a few months each year so your dealer is telling you the truth. The window is now firmly closed until probably well into next year I'm told by which time current 981 production will have ceased. They had unprecedented demand for this option this year with the launches of the 991 GT3 RS followed by the Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder and it looks like they are struggling to cope with demand hence the considerable delays on cars that were ordered before the cut off window was activated early.
