I think the silver option (one of the three you quoted that you’re considering) would be easier to keep looking cleaner and would show scratches/swirls less.

My Macan was silver (although Rhodium).

Having said that, when I see a Volcano Macan out on the road, I think they look very smart and mean (in a good day). A grey car with red seats, like Guy’s, looks great, I think.

Thanks - it does look about as close as you can get to black without being called black! (Love the wheels- WHY did they stop making them?)
This is about as bright as it gets, on a summer day.

Nice photos, a great colour/wheel combination and has a real sparkle in the sunlight. Struggling to move away from it for my next one, at the moment am considering Crayon with gloss black and either 20" turbo or go with the new 21". The wheel pictured has been around quite a few years now so I guess Porsche just like the occasional refresh.

Crayon looks good with gloss black surrounds and big wheels

^^ + 1 The crayon looks nice & different but don't fancy paying extra and a much longer wait. Would rather spend the budget on Air and Ptv. And don't want to spend more than 7k on option because then might as well wait for GTS IN 2020.
Generally, the choice for exterior colour and wheels is very limited but overkill on other options.
Arrived July 2023 - S, Silver.
Arrived April 2019- S Petrol in Sapphire Blue & 21” Spiders. Sold
Arrived April 15 -diesel S, Agate grey & 20 “ spiders. Sold

Crayon/Chalk should not necessitate a longer wait. It’s on the ‘standard’ colour list, but they just charge more for it by referring to it as ‘special’.

It’s the PTS paints (Paint to Sample) that involve a long wait and cost a lot more, when available. :geek:
