Construction of my 2023 cabriolet was just completed and now it's is on its way to port to be shipped here to the US.
Originally I had specified gentian blue but at the last moment I changed to shark blue and blue top.
Scheduled to be at the dealer on November 4.

Shark blue (nice color)? They never go to waste but I was doing gentian bezels for you? Did I miss a memo? Shark is actually way easier to paint, but touch base when you can and let me know what I should be doing (if anything) for your bezels...audi4t wrote: Sat Oct 01, 2022 7:15 am Construction of my 2023 cabriolet was just completed and now it's is on its way to port to be shipped here to the US.

I will take either gentian blue or Shark blue
I think either will be a great complement to the Shark Blue - if Shark is easier by all means go that route
I haven’t been posting much since we are in the 5th week of our 6 week European tour
My dealer texted me Thursday to let me know the car had been manufactured and was on its way to port for shipping - I had literally forgotten about it since we have a full travel itinerary
We are in Sorrento Italy at the moment
Chow !!!!

Wow, epic vacation!! Hope you are having a great time and seeing some nice Italian cars in their natural environment (Ferraris and such, rather than Fiat 500's and Vespas, I mean...

Shark blue bezels - full complement it is !!!
Yes we are having a fantastic time and it helps that the dollar is so strong
We have probably saved around 20% on this trip compared with what we would have paid last year !!!
How come my new Porsche isn’t 20% less
