Hi All,

Great forum!

I'm about to take the plunge and complete my spec order for a Macan GTS. I'm looking for feedback on Exterior Colour options and not sure if I should go for Jet Black Metallic or Standard Black and save cash.

My configuration is http://www.porsche-code.com/PHSEP4F2 and I was trying to stay close to £60k.

Any advise would be gratefully welcomed.

Kind regards,
Infaserv

Welcome to our forum! Thumbs Up And congrats on ordering a Macan GTS!
In view of your budget, I'd be tempted to stick with standard black & save the £608. Still looks great when clean & shiny! Cool
Love the 911 Turbo wheels!
Maybe consider a spare wheel at only £155 (so about 25% of the cost of metallic paint)...?

Don't listen to EviL Ras, if he had his way the whole world would be painted Carmine Red. Stick with Black, the only classy colour to have!

Dont listem to these #Team Red'er's especially Evil, he would paint the world Carmine Red given chance

#Team Black is best, go for the stealth look, keep on top of the cleaning by a good sealant coat and away you go.

Have you seen a black car with privacy glass in daylight? The Porsche privacy glass is quite dark and from the side I think it makes the car look a bit van like. And you have a lot of black in your spec.

I found the speed limit indicator missed quite a few limits in the demo car I tried so I didn't spec it. You will have the speed limit showing on the nav screen, although that also can't be completely relied on. There's always the mark one eyeball!

Perhaps these are two options you might be able to save some cash, or spend on something else.
