Morning all

Just purchased a a 2018 Macan Turbo, picking it up next week, looking forward to putting some miles on it, I'm a serial petrol head but needed an easier to live with daily than my 730hp RENNtech SL63, looking to make some "personalised" changes to the Macan and would welcome feedback and experience from the group.

Remap: I've used DMS on other Porsche's owned (997 / 991 turbos) any experience with DMS maps on a Macan or other vendors?
Interior trim: Couldn't get the carbon interior I wanted so purchased a used from eBay, photo's look good, should arrive this week, can't find any good "how to" replace the dash pieces, only door trim, again any experience or help
Front bumper: Maybe controversial but I'm looking for a front splitter / lower lip to smooth the profile, cant seem to find anything suitable

Thanks in advance for any help & feedback, I'm based in Hampshire & East Sussex, Ill post photos when it arrives and updates on the planned changes as they happen

Welcome.

Not to many here have or rather will admit to having their Macan chipped, most in fact will point out that the Porsche Extended Warranty may be invalidated on the cavaet that non Porsche parts are being fitted.

As for the spoiler, the front end have active and passive elements in the various slats and spoilers and fitting non Porsche components could screw up the airflow.
