There is a lot of filth involved in mine and I find it all blends into one.

For me white looks best with body colour for other colours can be either. My GTS black blades on carmine were never difficult to keep clean.

Thanks wing, I did first consider GT Silver but when i saw Carmine and silver 911s beside each other in the showroom I was swung to Carmine. GT silver looks good but second best to Carmine IMHO on a GTS. I have been looking at Alfs GT3 in silver and liked it a lot, but then a GT3 would good in Lada beige lol
Second Carmine in a row but wont get mistaken for the Macan even with the same plate on it.

I'll be very jealous when you pick it up, Rab! ;)

A bit like you, I was 99% going for a VG Panamera, but they happened to have a Carmine Red Panamera at the OPC...

The rest is history :oops:

Contrast every time. That’s why the designers put them on there in the first place...

With your choice of Agate, what will your interior color be? Your wheel choice and color? Thanks.

But body coloured as standard on the Turbo, so maybe not ...

Interior: standard black with 19” turbo wheels.

Interior on my 911 is Bordeaux / Black which I love. But as Macan will be my daily - black will be more practical.
