Went in today to the OPC to look at colours in the bright sunshine. We had originally ordered Crayon but in the sunlight it looks too flat and “beige”. I thought it was more like a grey colour but I couldn’t see grey there at all. Next to this was a Dolomite silver car which really sparkled and popped in the sun. We’ve decided therefore to save a £grand and go for the silver.

Now to pin down the interior. I really like the standard black and pinstripes but am pulled with going extended grey. On a T would it be best to stick with a T interior or go custom ?

Personally, I’d have a T interior on a T, and indeed I do! ;)

Each to their own.

P.S. Looks like you’ve double-posted this thread.

Cheers,
Simon

Do you mean the extended leather pack in Agate Grey, or the extended leather pack in Black and Pebble Grey?

I was never a great fan of silver on the macan, possibly because I’ve owned too many silver cars. Then I drove this at the PEC and thought it looked fantastic.

On a T I think I’d personally stick with the black interior with white pinstripes.

The extended in black and pebble grey. But I’m inclined to save the money and keep the T interior

I'd be very tempted to go for the Black/Pebble Grey leather. It gives a very luxurious look to the interior, as well as making the interior lighter. My car has Agate and Pebble Grey, and I've never regretted specifying it - there's a sense of occasion every time I get into the car.

My spec with Dolomite S certainly has a black interior, I like the contrast.

I'd go for that with a dark exterior but not in conjunction with white, silver or the like.

I also have pebble/agate interior allied to Rhodium silver paint.
Works just fine and is very classy with the contrast stitching on the dash and door tops.
Car is over 4 years old however interior still looks like new.
