Not ordered yet. Waiting to see outcome of Black Roof rail problem.

If black roof rails available then white - if not Metallic Black (and ally roof rails)

I've gone for white and put the saving on metallic into RS Spyder wheels which look great against the white. May not be saying same once I start cleaning them!

Metallic black + RS Spyders for me. Already bought some new wheel brushes. Just hoping that there are no orange peel issues.

having gone through the Palladium, Mahogany and settled on Agate Grey we are very happy with it. Different lights if has different tinges and left with the silver window frames and beige interior all sets off nicely. Tinted windows help especially at rear as roof spoiler black so sets in nicely. Those with Orange peel worries the car is plastered in it!!

Hi Malk . Which are the worst orange peel affected body panels ? Have you complained to Porsche GB?

Tailgate is okay and the Panoramic Roof Tongue No not complained as what they going to do, I'm not having several mil taken off my lacquer that's for sure....... Issue is in base layer and how its applied.

The National Geographic Channel Megafactories programme on the 991 ( where my 981 was also built) said that Porsche spent 200 million euro on the Stuttgart paintshop. Wonder if they spent the same at Leipzig ?mark-yorkshire2014-04-17 22:12:33

Fully agree.... it's in the base paint. BMW X5s etc have this problem badly and it ends up influencing your paint colour choice (given it shows up far worse on dark colours). Since the Macan is my first Porsche purchase, I opted for white simply because it's the colour that shows manufacturing issues least (albeit with the burden of keeping it clean).

Black isn't going to be fun to wash and get dried in the sun after just washing my Agate one in the 'cool' sun!
