So after buying a dolomite Gen 3 GTS back in November 2021, I sold it during the used car bubble for a hefty profit around August 2022.
Missed the car ever since so with some luck I’ve managed to get a build slot for this December after placing my deposit last week. Was initially told March 24 but ones become available!
What a great car so I’m happy to get back into one. Considered the cayenne coupe base but not feeling it.
I have to lock in my build today, was only told about this yesterday, as the build slot came available last minute.
Needed some immediate advice ladies and gents, and yeah I know it’s all personal preference but whatever advice is given may influence my decision.
1. Colour:
I don’t want the same colour as before (dolomite), which was great but good time to try something different. It’s either jet black metallic or the crayon (both with standard black RS wheels). Which would you go with and reason why please?
2. Interior:
I always go black but having seen them in person the black/Bordeaux red two-tone is only a £176 option and the red looked really nice and not in your face. So it’s either the plain black interior or the black/red. Don’t want to spend more or stitching etc, starts to get £££. Thoughts?
So thoughts please Jet black metallic or crayon with either black or black/red seats?
The only other thing to point is that if I go with jet black I save about £1500 because I can also drop the painted side vents as they don't look as bad on black paint.
Thanks folks
Buying the GTS (again!)

Personally I couldn’t think of anything worse than a black car with black wheels but at the end of the day it’s your car so just go with what you want.

I think either colour looks great but would go with jet black on cost alone. Red interior looks fantastic and would complement the black exterior nicely as Bordeaux is a lovely muted red.
As an aside, I like white too on a GTS same red interior but lots of black accents

Out of those two Jet black gets my vote (not biased at all!)
Don't go for privacy glass though...a bit too gangster!

Either colour looks nice to me - your choice
Interiors I'd go with black if you choose Crayon exterior but red/black if you go with a Black exterior
Then again I wear white socks with sliders
