Not long owned my Macan T and just couldn't help myself ... not to everyone's taste but I personally am enjoying making it my own

Quick before ...

and how it is currently ..

4 - Copy.jpg

Mods so far have been tinted windows to the front, Black Porsche 21" alloy wheels, a few LED bulb upgrades and a set of 10mm front spacers and 12mm rear spacers ..... Due to have a res-delete next week just for a little more sound from the sports exhaust rather then going completely asbo!

I am alos in the process of upgrading and retro fitting from PCM3.1 into PCM4 using all OEM parts ...

Also in the future I'm looking to upgrade the headlights to the black style xenon or if I can source a Genuine set of Porsche LED's I'll take the plunge ... also I'm looking to lower the car around 25/30mm MAX just to give it more of a GTS stance .. again not to everyone's likes but is to mine :D

Wheels will be easier to clean for sure.

Have you told your insurers about the spacers and front tinted windows?

The spacers also invalidate any Porsche warranty, but I'm guessing it's not in warranty.
Do the tints comply with legislation?

Yours sincerely, The Porsche Police. ;)

No, I think it's probably a base 2.0 litre.

It's not a T. It's a 2015 car; the T version wasn't introduced until 2022.

Sorry but your cash would have been spent better on buying an SD, S or Turbo rather than adding bling.

Just to reiterate what others have said, it is not a “T”, it just has a Base 2.0 litre turbocharged engine and a piss poor one at that when it is trying to haul around a near on two tonne car. The new “T” has the suspension setup the same as a GTS and this setup is the same in all Porsche models, the GTS setup is very different from standard.

The newer Base Macans have more power than the one the Op has, it is this version that when I drove one was out accelerated by a BMW 118D and a VW Passat Blue Motion such is its utter and total lack of any get up and go.
