Having had a red interior before (not a Macan), i found the red didnt age as well as black and my taste did change a bit over time too.

So I would go black!

No dolomite was amazing, suits the GTS black accents
Only reason I’m not getting it is for change
Did you have painted sideblades or black?
Suits the S too! Sideblades painted. :D

Nothing wrong with crayon although I do feel it is more beige than anything - looks smart though 👍

Yep. Noticed you had VG last time. Are you as satisfied with DS or do you miss VG?

I picked my one up last week, glad I went with Crayon in the end.

I went for black door handles and lower mirror trims, along with the standard satin blades and wheels I thought it gave it a nice contrast.

Thanks, looks great
What interior did you go for?

With the crayon, anything in particular you like/dislike?

The only difference I’d have on my one is I’d paint sideblades and keep door handles and side mirrors crayon. Personal pref though!

Makanik wrote: Fri Oct 06, 2023 11:02 am I went with Crayon and Red/Bordeaux and have been pleased with both.

I got bored with plain black interiors and the red looks classy to my eye.

Crayon will show dirt much less than black, if you can stomach the rip-off £1.1k uplift!
Thanks
What do you and don’t you like about the crayon colour?
It doesn’t seem to show dirt too much and doesn’t look like it will be susceptible to swirls. I prefer it to my previous Macans in Mamba Green and Night Blue. Only downside is the price.

Cheers,

I went for black interior, to keep the theme of Crayon and Black.

Crayon appears to require less maintenance and seeing it up close, it really does suit it. Regardless of colour I’d suggest at least front end PPF and ceramic coating to keep it looking pristine, but that’s for later.

As a solid colour I thought it may be too bland, but personally I think it works.

Glad you’ve come back to the GTS club, you’ve made the right choice :D

And congrats on the allocation!

Not missed it for a moment, hard to as I see so many around whereas not seen more than half a dozen DS in the 8 months and 9k miles I've had one. Result! That was a major reason for the change.
