Must say it’s a distracting showroom to be in so I can see plenty of future earnings going their way :lol:

I just missed out on May build slots so waiting on confirmation of a June slot. Hoping for delivery in July all being well.

Current spec I’ve come up with is - http://www.porsche-code.com/PK1FS8H0

Any feedback welcome :D
Lovely spec and options. You will really enjoy it.

My personal opinion is as follows

1. I would change the tailpipes to be black to match everything else.
2. I prefer the sport design mirrors better than standard but on a dark coloured car you can get away with it.
3. If you have kids or carry rear passengers consider side airbags in rear
4. Go and listen to standard audio and Bose. Macan Mk1 has very little difference imo and others mentioned this too. You could save a few £££ there.
5. Enjoy the numerous spec changes you may go through. 😀

Had you considered the sport tailpipes in black, rather than silver, to complement your stealthy look?
Difficult to untick once you’ve selected :lol: There are one or two potentially being cut to get the price down though, need to think it through some more :? In two minds about keyless given the theft concerns...

I did wonder about the tailpipes, quite liked something to contrast and the black pipes do look good.

Thanks for the feedback, that’s 2 votes for black tailpipes so suspect I may be changing that! No kids so can get away without the airbags and useful to hear about the audio.

+1 about listening to the audio options but be careful; I did that and chose the Burmester!

Hahahaha, I've deliberately avoided that because I know I'll want it!

With dark themed cars the dark headlights look good in metal too:
