Good choice to avoid crayon, it looks like a Primer coat.

I would go for the black/pebble interior if lifestyle permits but do check with the SE about residuals as light colours inside can limit buyers..

The option used to be Agate/Pebble and the Agate has a very brown hue to it so it only worked with certain exterior colours so imo its good Porsche dropped it.

Crayon is a strange one. I saw a couple of 911s in my OPC's showroom and they looked stunning in it. Like an off white or like Ford's old Dove White if anyone can remember that.

Outside was a Macan and a Taycan in Crayon.

Nah - beige.

Have you gone for black window trims Neil?

I thought it was more like a grey colour but I couldn’t see grey there at all. Next to this was a Dolomite silver car which really sparkled and popped in the sun. We’ve decided therefore to save a £grand and go for the silver.

Now to pin down the interior. I really like the standard black and pinstripes but am pulled with going extended grey. On a T would it be best to stick with a T interior or go custom ?
You may be interested to check out Nick Murray on YouTube and hear his views on the Macan T and as a bonus, his opinion of the most useless option on a Macan, PTV +.

Always good to get an independent opinion, but ultimately its the buyers choice and good that Porsche gives us so many options to personalise our chosen model.

Yes. Door handles, roof rails and mirrors too, but, controversial possibly, painted side blades (dithering over the sills!) However, the pictures Omni put up of Dolomite with chrome window trims make that combo look not at all bad... However, as l chastise my live in dithering mind changer I'll probably stick with choice 1. That could all change if/when I see Copper Ruby Metallic in the metal.

Personally I'd stick the black window trims, the chrome looks odd to me, too many different shades going on.

PTV is pretty useless on an awd vehicle.
