It would help if you would tell us WHAT YEAR your car might be! We're not psychic, you know. Although some of us might be considered psychotic, by others.

Porsche used a two-letter (sometimes alpha, sometimes numeric, sometimes alpha-numeric, depending upon the year) code to designate their interiors. This code was not a just color code, but specific to a color and a type of interior fabric. In other words, for a Cobalt Blue interior color, there would have been a series of many different two letter codes that determined whether the car had leatherette upholstery, or partial leather, of full leather, or leather with a letherette beltline, etc. There was a unique code for each combination of color and fabric.
This information was contained in a book that the dealers had, that listed all of the various permutations and what they meant. Some of this information has been duplicated in books written about Porsche. I don't have anything handy that lists this information for cars after the 1989 model year, so I can't look it up for you. Adrian Streather wrote a book on the 964 series cars; I just can't remember if this information was listed in his book, or not. My copy is 10 miles away, at my warehouse. A dealer parts guy might be able to help, if he's good at his job. I'd be willing to bet that yours is Cobalt Blue. JR Last edited by javadog; 02-13-2007 at 05:37 AM.. |
