As others have said, Gentian is the best colour for this look. Great job!
My original "T" order was white with black trim so I wasn't 100% sure about the chrome on the "S" until I saw it in the flesh , the polished alloys and chrome tailpipes go well together and looks somewhat more conservative , if that's the word.

Never one to be picky ( 😜 ) but must pick up on the use of the term ‘chrome’. ;)

Side window trim is aluminium.

Standard S exhaust tips are (according to configurator) matt silver-coloured finish.

Sports tailpipes are high-gloss silver.

Not a mention of chrome anywhere. :P :D

Looks good.

Just don't use any harsh cleaning products on the chrome window surrounds as they can stain quite easily

Looks great, loving the Gentian Blue with shiny trim... but I'm biased, my (soon to be delivered) car has the same exterior colour combo.

I had similar window surrounds on my MB , never needed to use any products on them , just a quick wipe after washing the car. I think the reason why trims like these discolour is down to the harsh chemicals used by car wash companies, similar to what happened to the wheel centres I cleaned on the Macan yesterday.
