Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I had this vague memory that Porsche had changed the tint of graphite during the model run, but I could be dreaming.
Leading evidence: 'Replace tint of graphite during the model' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace tint of graphite during the model' (1 discussions).

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I finally got to lay eyes on the sport seats I bought, and was a bit disappointed to see that they aren't actually graphite grey. They're a darker, less warm shade of grey. I think you probably wouldn't even notice the difference once they were in the car, but still...
Anybody have any idea what colour they might be? I think they started life in a 986, if that helps. Info and perspective welcome.
(Sorry, no pics yet. But the difference is subtle enough that they probably wouldn't help anyway).
There were 3 greys that I remember in the 996 line......
FROM LIGHTEST TO DARKEST
Graphite (lighter and the most common)
Space (darker but almost looks like it has a reddish pink tint to the grey and not very common)
Natural (looks almost black and you'd probably think it was black if you didn't know better)
If you can post a picture we could figure it out pretty quickly.
ps. Nick, your grey looks like graphite, not space.
Thanks, Dell. I'll try to get a picture. The new seats are darker than my original graphite, but absolutely nowhere near black. Maybe they're Space...
I had this vague memory that Porsche had changed the tint of graphite during the model run, but I could be dreaming.
for those of you that are unsure about your interior colour, pull out the base cushion/plastic piece from one of the rear seats, its just held in by velcro and it will usually say in big letters (albeit in german) on the underside what it is. there is usually a factory sticker on the underside of these and it will say on it if its still there
in that photo above, that is most definately NOT space gey. space grey is quite dark.
Thanks anyway
That would be a long drive!
Seats are in. They actually seem to look fine, even in sunlight. For those with grey interiors, the colour is very close to the alcantara headliner grey. Once in, everything in the car seemed to magically match. I'll try to remember to get a picture at the next opportunity.
Thanks for the help, guys.
