Thank you all for the great info and tips. Jon A I like your spec you didn't bother with the auto dimming, and Kleynie your pic. Appropriate TLC on the wheels I'm sure it will all be fine

Keep the auto dimming, it works better than the toggle on the mirror and doesn't cost a lot.

Add the black door handles, bin the red GTS sideblades logo and stick with the black which is free.

Why not just stick with the standard black Spyder Design wheels which are Satin and free!!

Ultimately it’s your car so choose what your gut tells you is right. But it’s great fun vicariously spending someone else’s money, so I have two exterior suggestions and one interior…

First exterior, if sticking with Black Gloss wheels, the go with the Black Gloss pack and door handles.

Second, if you prefer body colour sideblades, go with Satin Platinum wheels and change GTS logo to black.

And my interior option, anything that adds full leather to the dash. Really lifts the interior IMO, especially if you select an option that has contrasting stitching.

Good luck.

Have whichever wheels you fancy as long as they’re NOT black. !!

The wheels will be treated with Gtechniq Wheel Armour.

Cleaning should not be an issue if you follow the guidance.

My Macan is a long term keeper and this Summer I took each wheel off in turn, cleaned and clayed it then applied a new coat of Wheel Armour, left off car for twenty four hours then re-fitted the wheel and did the next one, all this after nearly seven years ownership. Not forgetting to apply the Tyre Dressing to both sides of the wheel when each was off car.

It’s a mine field. Where do you stop. I pretty much know what I’ll do and will say damn the expense. Slight change of topic I know is extensive on this forum but are the 8 way and 18 way GTS seats the same dimensions. Only the one question on the seats if someone can help.

Exactly the same seat. It’s just bolster adjustment , under thigh and lumbar that’s missing.
