I’m perfectly happy with unpainted side blades on my gen 3 Macan S - whether you like them or not they are a design feature and even when painted the shape still stands out. The texture matches the texture on the front grill and the rear defused - seems to be a design concept for gen3.

I think they add sporty character in a subtle way, mine are not painted.

Personal preference of course and I do think that having some sort of waistline “blade” looks good. I just don’t like the size of them (or the plastic) but wondered about having them painted body colour and then painting black just the smaller element that sits in relief - that way they are thinner. Probably overthinking this way too much…😂

+1 - love my gloss black ones, personally dark colours look better body painted while lighter suit the dark blades for the contrast effect. Body coloured on lighter colours just highlights its an insert ... imo.

Great looking GTS with a great spec


The detailer seems to have done an excellent job, do you have a photo pre detailing?

how was the Cazoo(/) buying experience?

That was taken the day I took delivery, you can see my old SD in the background. The prep from Cazoo was fine, just not up to my standard, so 7 days of detailing followed (should get it back tomorrow).

Cazoo did not disclose some damage to the leather, so I'm having that repaired whilst its at the detailers. They also gave me £300 Goodwill refund, so it turned out to be a very cheap car.
