Hi All,

After searching for a number of months, I have put down a deposit on a 2017 Macan Turbo PP. I promise to get pictures up once I have taken delivery.

It seems that the prior owner was slightly more tasteful than I, and decided to hide the fact that the car is a Turbo, deleting the model designation upon specification. I however, would have it printed on all 6 sides of the car, if I could.

I have obtained the badges, I just need to place them. I realise I could take it to the OPC, and they have the ability to place them with a template tool, but I'd quite like to place them myself. Does anyone have the measurements for A, B and C (in millimetres) below?

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob

I make them as follows:-

A 55mm
B 35mm
C 35mm

Looking at replacing my silver badges with black ones but not sure I have the patience for the job

Appreciated - thanks Botis.

The car I have put my deposit on has PORSCHE in black, and that looks great on volcano - which is what I believe you have. If you can be bothered, I don't think you'll be disappointed with the result.

No problem. When do you pick it up?

Is the black gloss or matt? You can even get them colour matched which looks good too.

Where have you sourced your letters from?

I'm serious considering just going for this tequipment option and getting the dealer to do the hard work

I'm hoping to pick it up this week, but the dealer doesn't want to commit to a timeline, as they need the current owner to help get the finance flag cleared from the car, and they are struggling...

I'll DM you the link
