Given your desire to keep the spec light, the only addition I would suggest is having the rear apron mid-section painted. It's only £312 and makes a difference for every colour except black and night blue.
Yes, actually my SE also recommended painting the rear mid section, and it is something I’ll definitely consider for my green Macan on order (I’ll look out for cars which have it to get an idea). My current Macan is Night Blue and as you suggest doesn’t look like it would have particularly benefited from it.
My SE also suggested the pano roof for residual value, and I can see it’s a really popular option, but it’s not something that has particular appeal to me so not sure I can bring myself to stretch to one of those!
^^^ No sense in paying for a pano roof for the next owner, if you don’t want that option for yourself. And like most options, you won’t get 100% of your money back, so seems pointless to me.
Cheers,

Until I read your reply, I hadn't noticed that I'd left Panoramic Roof off my signature My wife mandated it on my Macan but I don't regret it for a minute and it will definitely feature on any future Macans. One feature of the new Cayenne Coupe that I like is the fixed Panoramic Roof. It underlines the fact that the PR lets in light and does not necessarily have to open. As others have said, only specify it if you want one. Paying £1.4k to benefit the next owner is not the best use of funds.
