Personally, I don’t like the Papaya callipers, and think black would look better.

They are certainly an acquired taste, but if painting calipers to match the car’s body colour catches on, you can certainly see Porsche offering the option for ‘only’ £581. ;)

I think Papaya and Carmine are why the black calipers are an option…

Really wouldn’t bother me to have a Carmine Macan (or 911) with red brake calipers! ;)

No not the end of the world for sure, but they are a different shade of red and if you are like me, once you see it you can’t unsee it!
I would have thought Papaya with red calipers would be virtually undriveable… 😂

Easy removed inside and no grit to concern you when wiping them: unlike external finishes :mrgreen:

Fingerprints were classified as being in the dirty category and disappeared when the car was clean. Like everything in life even car washing has now got complicated.
Agree. But not having oily prints on unnecessary gloss black handles means less cleaning required. No complications with my washing method, either: too much bull around that job, and I do like a clean car so washing isn't against my religion. Good materials used, and a spray of detailer to keep the muck loose all done in under an hour: fair.

Nice. May just do that, and go for the undersize wheels to save on tyre costs :lol:

Oh. And I thought I'd find it undriveable if I didn't. Stuck for choice, now

May be on there too, but took that from macanforum. Pity the owner had a cheap job done, and now days later is paying again for them to be done properly off the car

Buy cheaply, pay twice. ;)
Absolutely !
