Morning All

I happened to be in Hatfield OPC yesterday extending my warranty for another 2 years in the hope that the Macan EV may be available by then.

As I wasn't allowed in the showroom due to the Covid rules i had a skulk around the lot to see what they had S/H.

While I was there I noted a delivery of unregistered Cayennes in the corner and went to have a look around those. There was a lovely new Crayon one in the corner and I noticed that the brake callipers were also Crayon, body colour in other words. Anyone know if this is an option?

I always thought they changed colour to designate the model variant. The only example I know of otherwise was Mark Webber who talked Porsche into giving him red ceramic brake callipers.

I'm a little puzzled as I can't find anything on the configurator. Valued customer possibly?

Not sure how close you got to the car, and therefore how good a look you got, but are you sure they weren't white, as per the PSCB callipers?

Definitely Crayon, I was right down on my knees having a good look.

Should’ve taken a pic!
I contemplated doing this on mine (after market) but worried about voiding the warranty.
Hoping they don’t mention my powdercoated wheels but definitely considering taking out my dash cam before it goes in.

Anyone else have these worries or is it just me?

Out of interest what dash cam have you got and is it wired in properly? Does it stay on in standby mode and record when any movement detected?

🤔 not sure where the connection with body coloured brake callipers is here ⁉️Think maybe you should start a new thread 👍
