I had it removed because I don’t like writing on the car, who is it helping? I would have binned the “Porsche” across the light bar if it were possible too!
So just personal preference then.
I wondered if there was something more to it, security reasons maybe, but then it’s so easy to search a reg number and get the vehicle details.
I'm not sure somebody stealing the car is going to be that fussed if it is an S or GTS - they will just ignore the boring dark grey one anyway !

After four years of ownership, I recently had the “911 Carrera T” badging removed from the rear of my car. Three-fold reasoning:

* Makes a change to the look of a car that I’ve owned for four years (along with some other cosmetic changes)
* Gives the car a “cleaner” look
* Makes the car marginally easier to clean

Cheers,
Simon

You're right with the cleaning.
The lettering is great at pulling out threads from drying cloths.

..... and it's meaningless to anyone other than the nerds on here! However, if removed it'll activate the little grey cells of other Macan owners, scanning for clues and figuring out "what it is"! Get some 18" Macan wheels on yer turbo, that'll freak them all out :lol: :lol: :lol:

Also, a lot of people remove the rear model logos because the back of a Macan is a real dirt magnet, which makes cleaning around the logos a real pain!! 😁

I'm just a bit of a chav :lol: no other reason than I like the way it looks. Although, no more running water drops coming from the rear badge was a bonus after thought.

Your GTS looks awesome! Great photos, but I’m guessing you’re a professional photographer? :geek:

The PCCB calipers look stunning. Some people may think they’re overkill on an SUV, but they really add to the look of the car. :D

Enjoy many happy miles in Jolene! ;)

Cheers,
Thank you. I do like getting the camera out when an opportunity presents itself but sadly not a full time profession.

Great minds on the PCCB! Also very little brake dust.
