Do the rear lights in "black" mode really look like that? On the old model, there's still a hint of colour to break up the monotony and give it a sense of style that's appealing. This one a bit weird, especially with the bumper level reflectors still being red.

Perhaps just a crap rendering.

This setup looks less Bollywood-bling... I like.

Hopefully it doesn’t light-up like a Christmas tree with the lights on.
Otherwise there is no point in tinted glass, for admiring the understated design... on a parking lot :)

Hi Rams, your spec looks really good, would suggest adding the 75 litre fuel tank and spare wheel, if for me I would put the side blades in as gloss black as it sets off nicely with the gloss black window trim. Not sure the ioniser is worth it and would drop the porsche badge on all four seats, two front are okay or non at all, your looking at the brand enough right in front of you. Like it 👍

Regarding the 'tinted' rear lights. In this context, does 'tinted' actually mean colourless, i.e. clear lenses instead of red?

yes colourless instead of the red. I think it looks quite smart and different.

Agreed. Just makes me smile that Porsche charge £425 to not put red-coloured lenses in the rear lights! ;)

I think you did yourself a disservice by getting rid of the full Sports Design Package. It gets rid of that silly chin spoiler. I, personally, just hate the look of that thing. Probably didn't want to hear that! :lol:

thanks for this GMAN! i went in with a plan today to finalise my spec and save some money and everything i saved i ended up spending back on the full sport design pack! But love it now! thanks for your help. I got rid of alcantra roof and SC.
