It amazes me how people think they can get away with this. Anyone who knows Porsches will just call him a Knob.

And yes, it being off-centre just makes it look worse.
Why add an S to a Turbo, strange logic, and yes a bit of a knob. I did however change my chrome S to this. Accurate positioning is essential, pretty sure it's good. Badge came from the Porscheshop, a new item. Surely I'm not a knob???

I quote Mao "Let 1000 flower bloom". Whatever blows the skirts up... Let people be joyful and personalise their mass produced Macan cars. I can be a stripe or design cue or a badge or even a personalised licence plate. When I was working with US DOT we had a saying "If You don´t have a life You can buy one get a personalised licence plate". I have not fallen for that temptation, in Sweden You pay approx. 1000 Pounds for 10 years and all the money goes to traffic safety research.
As a professional i behaviour sciences I know that intricate game people play and everyone wants to be unique in some way or the other. One spend 600000+ Pounds on a piece of machine and there is always having one that is just slightly better/more exclusive/faster/blingier (you pick). Let people enjoy themselves and do not act as judges. Have fun with cars and enjoy life!
Stick the talk about "KNOBS" somewhere we do not have to read about it.

Love the joyfulness on this Stockholm 356.

Stripes make the car much faster as well. I "upgraded" my rear light clusters as well.

Way to many but it is a joy to spend as much time possible in the Eiffel mountains on that one way public toll-road. Best of all is to stay at the "Swedish" Racing Hotel in Adenau "Die Blaue Ecke". Enjoying the traffic from their curbside restaurant seeing all sorts of unique cars passing by.

+1 Die Blaue Ecke is where I stay.
Parking around the back is a bit of a squeeze if you have a car - more of a bikers' haunt really.
