I thought he could save money by going to 20 jet black wheels but then the cost goes up by needing jet black paint. Unfortunately, the 21in sport classics are the only which gives the black look he wants.

If you want ACC and LCA TJA is not much more.

To save I would drop the sports exhaust and sport crono as I think those are the items that will be little used and are expensive but it is each to his own.

I thinking that too: the Sport Chronos and the Exhaust (in that order) need to go onto the block. I'll happily go with the stock 18" wheels but SWMBO is insistent on having those big black shoes.

Nice spec ...

If I wanted to save some £'s (and believe me I've been here with my build http://www.porsche-code.com/PKLM6QE2) I'd reconsider the sports seats, I was all for them till I tried getting in and out of the car with them, I found it really awkward sliding over the side bolsters. Then I tried the 14 way seats and they are still quite body hugging and so much easier to get in and out of.

Although mine isn't quite as black as yours I've gone down that darker look road and decided on the 20 inch Turbo wheels but I def think they look better with the Grey rather than the black. Tbh I think the wheels you've chosen look the best.

You won't need the power steering plus, if you've managed in every other car you've driven you'll be fine. Also rethink the Traffic Jam Assist/Adaptive Cruise Control, is it something you specifically want? It's an expensive extra.

It's going to be difficult to trim the spec I think, I think the black sports exhaust looks better (I've specced it) and the dark light bar looks good on the black.

What I really want is Autonomous Emergency Braking. I'm under the impression that it needs ACC for Porsche Active Safe to provide this form of braking (this is the case at least with the 2018 Macan).

Of the useless extras, the Sports Exhaust is the one that sings to me :-/)

How about this - . . .

. . . . .not much difference in price but (with contrasting superior leather and air suspension) a HUGE difference in residuals (IMO).

Sports chrono is unnecessary in an SUV. The S will be sporty enough without it. I'm not sure if it saves much but would go 14 way seats as 18 make it difficult to get in and out without crushing the bolsters. The wheels are expensive but IMO a Porsche needs big wheels to look like a Porsche.

As it turned out, We decided that we needed something bigger and the Cayenne came into the picture.

So I'm getting a Cayenne Coupe instead, with delivery due towards the end of May.
