Welcome aboard! Your car looks great.

My '00 S is a similar color combo -- but with black interior. I'm biased, but I think arena red is the best standard color for a Boxster.

I thought mine was Orient Red. Is Arena Red a bright color red?

I love the color no matter what it's called. When I bought mine I looked for an arena red or black, but no red one was available with the options, mileage, condition etc I was looking for. So I "settled" on black. :rolleyes: That's a beautiful car.

It's definitely Orient Red. Look up Blinkwatt's car. It's Orient Red as well. It's a pretty rare color, I think. There are a few Arena Red cars on here. Arena Red is darker than Orient.

Thanks guys!
 
Hopefully you will see many improvements in the future. I love a project!

Orient and Arena Red are tough to distinguish in pics, depending on lighting. On closer inspection, yours is a shade or two brighter than Arena Red. Both are beautiful colors and your car still looks great! Red over Tan is a classic combo that works well on Boxsters.

Nice looking car Lucky317 and congrats! :)

As mentioned above, Arena Red is darker than Orient.
Carmona is even darker than Arena and Ruby is a step between Orient and Arena.

Here's my Arena Red from a similar angle:

Very nice! That color looks great, I'm kinda wishing I didn't go with Silver on mine now, hahaha.
