@Minnesotan Do you mind if I ask - are those "standard" mirrors, i.e. black parts not painted High Gloss Black?
Assuming they're not painted, I just wondered how you find the black plastic. I'm really struggling with ticking the box to have mirrors painted on a car this expensive just out of principle!

Mirrors were standard, and other than the option to have black instead of chrome trim around the windows and for the rear badge, all other black parts are standard (for a Turbo) in U.S.

I thought so. Only reason I ask is that on the 4S the whole lower half of the mirror is black plastic and it looks really cheap so the gloss black paint is almost a must-have on some colours (e.g. white). On the Turbo just a small part is black plastic so I wondered how noticable it was. Looks ok in the photo.

Finally picked her up last week! The wait was painful for me, ha. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the forum to keep me patiently occupied for the past year.

Looks great. Pretty much same spec as I have on order externally. What colour interior you go for?

Thanks @kingy I ended up going with black leather for the interior with dark silver accents. I had wanted to do a light two tone such as the Olea beige but with a little kiddo my wife and I thought it would be a loosing battle with keeping it nice.

Black is probably the easiest to live with, especially with kids! I had black in my Panamera so went bold and ordered red for the Taycan. The wife wasn't happy but hey ho, if she wasn't moaning about this it would no doubt be something else :)

I did the black with the dark silver, too, and love the look. Only issue I had this summer is kids lathered up with sunscreen and that staining the doors And seats. It comes out with some warm water and a little soap but that’s the only downside I’ve had with the black. With a Carrera White exterior, it’s a great combo and look.

I'm curious about what xpel ultimate plus looks like on Carrara White vs. xpel stealth. Anyone have pictures of their car with either? I tried doing a web search but so far have only found links like "no it's not carrara white, it's standard white".

I did the same. Looks great, but I doubt you could discern anything from a picture. It’s more a our protection.
