Finally order placed (Macan S)
Pebble and black as well as Bordeaux and black (extended) both give deviated stitching on dashboard and door tops where you see it most.

I agree with you and re the stitching, my S ( bought 9mths old )in Gentian has black with Gentian stitching and seat belts , I like them, adds a bit of colour to the interior, however if buying new I would go with extended leather also.Jobbo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2023 10:33 am Nice spec. I somewhat agree about the exhaust because it’s a costly option, but it’s about £600 to have the black exhaust tips alone so if you want those, it’s less of a saving.
Also, you might be prudent to stick with the standard alloys and find a pristine second set on eBay in the style you’ve optioned. You’d then have a spare set for winter tyres or whatever, probably not costing you much more than a few hundred over what you’re paying.
My other comment would be that the deviated stitching adds a lot to the cost; you could switch to extended leather without deviated stitching for a similar price. I don’t find the crayon deviated stitching or seatbelts in our car are things I notice at all; that may not be true with orange stitching and seatbelts of course!

As does the Black/Mojave extended combo give deviated stitching on the dash and door caps.
I agree with not being talked into anything by the SE. Choose what you want, not what they want.
I fact from my experience of them so far, I'd be tempted to choose the opposite of what ever they suggest
Looks good
Only a couple of points.
From what I can see on the config, you have the black model designation but not the black Porsche badge - is that not a mismatch ?
I’d be tempted to get the black calipers too as I’m not sure if the orange and red clash

Hi all thanks for the comments it's good to have opinions from other owners that may have been in this situation before. With regards to the sports exhaust I appreciate it's a bit costly and probably little difference in sound, it's probably all in the mind but it's the one thing I miss when I sold my FTYPE so will probably stick with it. I may again play around with the interior colour, i do like the pebble as this is full leather for i think the same cost as my current option. I think there was a thread on here where someone specked the papaya with pebble interior or was thinking about it. Think the carbon trim would be nice but trying to keep to a budget. I want to get it right as intend this to be a keeper before we all sucome to the soleless EV,s. I've noticed no comments on the bose system but I read a thred on this and think people were 50/50 and although I have it in my current macan thought 1k could be spent better elsewhere (listening to the sports exhaust )
Thanks again for all your comments they are very useful.

Oh it’s expensive for sure but long term car I think it would grate
Same for not adding the exhaust - even my wife presses that button before she drives off!
