Not sure where this guy is based as video spec is not exactly the same as GB spec. His review says Air and PASM std. In the UK it's just PASM.

Yes you're correct. Googled him and he's CONNECTICUT based. I have seen some of his Porsche YouTube reviews before. :roll: his Kiwi accent threw me!

Nick Murray is a Kiwi living in the US and has been doing Porsche reviews for some considerable time (along with his dog Tui and his stuffed toy monkey). He is in IT for a corporate and his reviews are generally quite entertaining if not empirical.

Anyone who has properly researched their Porsche will likely have come across Nick Murray

I'm speccing up a GTS and can't decide whether I prefer the side blades in black or in the body colour.
What do you think?

I have the same dilemma. Leaning towards body colour as (hopefully) easier to clean.

The dimpled black plastic sideblades on my SD are the hardest part of the Macan to clean. They then do not stay clean for long here on our rural roads. :cry:

On my previous Macan I had the body coloured blades (Volcano Grey). Didn't notice cleaning issues but, then again, my car was mostly driven in towns / cities.

I'm thinking black blades to break up the blue a little and if the coloured blades were a cost option it would be an easy decision to make but there is no additional cost for either.

They are smooth on the GTS (or were). I like the contrast on lighter colours but would have them body colour on anything mid to dark
