Good result
Carmine looks great on the Macan GTS
Don't think shark blue is a good colour for a Macan so you chose well.

Congrats on new car

Hopefully you be as touchy as the last Vantage owner we had on here - he had the old one mind 😂

Red is beautiful, here’s the demo I had out. Mine is due to be delivered around the same time as yours, I went white again. I’ll be keeping an eye out for your thread when it’s delivered!

PNS7UPQ8

Red doesn't seem too popular on here, however it's my favourite colour so was the easiest thing to choose! I really wanted a Miami blue GT3 and still think it's the best colour on Porsche GT cars, although after seeing a Miami Macan in the flesh at Nottingham it just didn't suit it...if I hadn't seen that I'd have been tempted to have it on this one. The Shark blue is fantastic also, although paying the PTS price for a standard offering on other models was a non starter.

The Aston is a very bright blue, similar to Miami (called 'Elwood'), but different enough that they would have looked weird together so I reckon red was the safest bet all round...just the Trophy for it to clash with!

Many thanks for posting those pics - honestly that looks perfect to my eyes in terms of colour! I had to go body coloured on the side strakes as I'm not too keen on the textured black plastic finish.

Interestingly the sales guy told me the wheels on that demo car (not sure what they're called) are pretty much unavailable to order currently due to shortages...not sure if anyone else has heard the same? I wasn't too upset as I like the redesigned spider wheels and it's a bonus that they're a free option!

I don’t think the sideblades are textured on the GTS but satin finish instead. Having said that I’m not a fan of plastic sideblades anyway and think body coloured is a good option 👍

In the flesh it was absolutely stunning, my only problem was my wife said it was too much of a mans colour haha,

That wouldn't surprise me as you can no longer spec those wheels on the non GTS models.

Cheers All for the positive comments.

I meant to ask - has anyone been successful in getting anything chucked in when buying one? I know they don't do discounts, wouldn't even give me £500 kickback on the finance, however something like a boot liner or Porsche leather bag would be very much appreciated (Nottingham said they could probably chuck a bag in, although I ended up using a different dealer with a much shorter lead time). Slightly cheeky but always nice to get something when spending a lot of money!

Ceramic coating is a norm
