I would not spec them again. You can hardly see them. No one has commented on them since you never see them when you get in.

I liked them when I had mine, and everyone who saw the car commented on how good they looked. I had black leather, and I'd spec them again, not a huge cost.
I know some on here who say they are pointless though, each to their own.

I liked mine and they were relatively :roll: cheap

The average person on the street would probably think that most of the options were a waste of money :oops: :oops:

Worth it? I doubt it. Does it really cost £161 extra to emboss the leather an pick them up from a different bin?

Do they look good? that's subjective and only really matters to the owner.

My wife has specced them as she liked them.

I have to agree with @Rarecolour when he (apologies if that was an assumption) says each to their own

You have to be careful with "worth". You've bought a Porsche - there are plenty of people who'd tell you you've already spent 5 times more than you needed to :)

If I was doing it again I would bin the headrest version and put the crest on the console armrest. At least I get to see it every drive 😂

Don’t you have one on your steering wheel? Well a badge anyway 🤣

Good point but who doesn’t love a bit of embossed leather to look at? 😂😂

The only person who mentioned mine missing was the SE when I placed the order - I guess he thought it was worth it ... to him. I will admit they look nice if you have them.

Another good money spinner for Porsche, at virtually no cost to them. Just as many other extras already built in the car and just need turning on/programing, a route that many manufacturers are going down now especially with EV cars.
But everyone specs and has what they want, if you like and want to pay, have, if you don't like and want to save a few quid, don't have. My first Macan never had and my current Macan has FOC, GTS embroidered. :D
