Welcome, nice spec, air with 21” is a good call also like the comfort of having a spare tyre. Personally would recommend adding the leather interior, it is a much better finish than the standard. Sorry to say the Agate Grey interior is for me a definite…. No😳.

I would never be without a spare. Hopefully you will never need it and cost will likely be recouped on sale.
Would also go for full leather if you can. Massively lifts the interior.

Welcome and congrats on the order. You have clearly spent a lot of money on getting the external look coherent. IMO on a £70k car you should really be looking at more leather than just the seat facings as others have said. The Variable Power Steering with 21" wheels or Speed Limit Indicator will be better uses of your money than Decals on the Sideblades. Debadge the rear Macan S instead of painting it black and you can have both.

If you can stretch to it then Air Suspension would be a great option with 21" wheels but I would always go with Leather first and have both of those before Sport Chrono.

ACC gets you the Automatic Emergency Braking that should be standard but isn't.

Appreciate the replies and feedback. My thoughts on Agate Grey interior was it would brighten it up a little, anyone with real life pictures of it?

At the moment, I am slightly more than where i wanted to be with regards to OTR. Going to have a bit of time to think on what to maybe remove/add before spec will be locked in.

Nice spec!! Deffo opt for the air suspension especially with the 21's - I love mine and it rides so much better than without. I'd remove the pointless sports tail pipes for £549 along with the black rear badge and Porsche logo, sideblade paint and model designation on them too. That would save quite a bit towards air.........

You could go Night Blue Metallic which is a lovely colour, more interesting than Crayon I think, and save £1000. Also allows you to go with the chrome options and save a bit there too

I'm definitely not a fan of chrome in any guise of colour. Just remember, OTR is + another £2k+ on the price listed in the configurator

This is how I would modify your spec to save 2k http://www.porsche-code.com/PPQ5IKH5. I’m not a fan of those wheels on an otherwise blacked out car. Black car needs black wheels.

Really! OP has chosen Crayon with black accents and you suggest Night Blue with Chrome 😵‍💫😂😂
