Thanks, I'd seen some previously with black window trims and black wheels and I do wonder about going in that direction. But not rushing,
Hi, 1st Macan, delighted so far.

Interesting point re electrical accessories, so they would not extend if you had a dashcam professionally fitted? (i.e hardwired)CharlesElliott wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 10:38 pm Hi, and welcome.
As you didn’t buy the car from an OPC there is a 90 day period before you can buy a standalone warranty from Porsche. This will also be subject to the 111 point check. It would be worth checking that the car has four N0 rated tyres as that’s often a failure point if they are outside the network. And no hard wired electrical accessories.

No, they would not. Basically any permanent changes from standard will stop them selling an extended warranty.

I have got the date booked for the 111 point check which given the condition of the car I think it will have no problem with. The OPC is sending me full details of the warranty so that's a good time to check and make sure about this. As what you say really wouldn't surprise me. Thanks for the tip off. I'll come back on here and let everyone know what the reply is as I'm sure there will be a few people it could potentially affect. I normally hard wire a dash cam in as well.CharlesElliott wrote:No, they would not. Basically any permanent changes from standard will stop them selling an extended warranty.

I think a black car looks better with a little bit of definition. I sometimes look at my Cayenne and wish there was something I could do to highlight its lines a bit more. At least it hasn't black wheels so there is something to brighten the side profile. Keep your car exactly how it is IMHO.nick265sprint wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 11:09 pmThanks, I think this was the 2nd one the original owner had specced and he did really get everything else spot on, so it's interesting how positive people are about that look.pmg wrote: ↑Mon Feb 10, 2020 11:04 pmPlus one, I think that looks far better than an all black look.

Thanks for that, Interesting one as so many now opt for Dash cams for Security and insurance reasons, I will not be taking mine off so the question of extended warranty has been solved!CharlesElliott wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 7:35 am No, they would not.

It is really growing on me and the thought of changing it is certainly lessoning. Thanks for all the feedback [emoji106]Rab J wrote:I think a black car looks better with a little bit of definition.

I hard-wired my own dash cam and this was in the car last September when it went through the 111 point inspection and was approved for the extended warranty.nick265sprint wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 7:51 amI have got the date booked for the 111 point check which given the condition of the car I think it will have no problem with.

Thanks Nick, I've seen the same on other car Forums where some dealers get fussy about things like this and others are fine about it. So I'll ask the direct question. Really daft as long as something has been fitted competently, but there is the problemNuclear Nick wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 2:38 pmI hard-wired my own dash cam and this was in the car last September when it went through the 111 point inspection and was approved for the extended warranty.nick265sprint wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 7:51 amI have got the date booked for the 111 point check which given the condition of the car I think it will have no problem with.
