This topic will be about my enhancements/customisation/face-lift on my Taycan Turbo S.
I'll update this first post so all things stay together.

First thing:

What I've done is the anti-glare screen for the console, no more fingerprints!
And it feels less slippery:

Second thing: the sticker.
Adds 5hp, nice.

Third thing:
I don't like the line on the lower front door/sill.
The upper line doesn't follow the one below, looks wierd (it comes from the design of the Mission E).

So I added some matt black film, now it has much more "flow":

On the back, the black film goes down "into" the black sill, making even a bit wider rear fender:

Fourth thing:
Smaller licence plate, a sticker.
Looks so much better.
I put "parking sensors" in the holes.
I need the holes for putting back the original plate in case the police wants me to.
It'll cover de sticker:

Fifth thing:
When looking at the back lid of a 911, I came up with the idea to make the Taycan more "mechanical/spaceship-ish/fighterjet" etc.

I put stripes (cut from gloss black film) on the lower "window" to mimick a vent/intake like on a 911.
I think it looks rather nice:

Sixth thing:
Making the rims white.
I thought the outer rims where white when I ordered them but unfortunately the Mission E wheels are silver.

So, I tried to make them white with gloss white film.
I'm not satisfied with the result, the finish is not that good and it doesn't stick very well.
I'll have to buy better film (or paint them, not sure yet).
Anyway, here's how that wrapping looks like:

Template and the wheel.

At least it looks better than silver, don't you think?
But it's not going to stay on.

Ok, that was it for now.
I'll update when I make some progression with the wheels...

Grtz Dee.
Amazing.. I'll implement some of those ideas! Thank you!
What item was your finger print protector? Amazon item?
What about the tape on the back window where can I order that?

The Matt black film on the sides looks fantastic !
Maybe I can get someone to quote that here in Michigan because I definitely do not have that golf club in my bag. It will look like a 5th grader did it
I would start with Yelp "auto wrap" in your area. Look at 5 star ratings with over 100 reviews if available. Then look at the pictures and see what level of vehicles they work with. I think if you then showed them the photos of what you want they could give you a decent estimate.

It all looks great, I must say - nice touch indeed. Thanks for sharing!

I also have been thinking of an workaround to the large license plates we are forced to use here in Europe. It is a somewhat violent against the gorgeous Porsche front.

I’ve attached screenshots from YouTube, of a smaller physical plate holder which is less prominent than the original, and to me looks interesting. The thing is if the police will mind the ‘minor detail’ of a smaller sign in the front of the vehicle.

I might take that chance, and I will definitely consider a sticker also like you did. No you got my head spinning about it again ;)

Nice to see your wheels. I’m having mine painted white on the 27th.

Great idea on the anti-glare film - I will definitely do that. I also like the black strip by the rocker panels. I'm getting a full wrap, so I could do that - just need to make up my mind...

@Dee Very nicely done. I agree with your black stripes below the doors. Improves the look a lot.

Can I ask where you got your sticker from. My Grand Kids that are into Star Wars would love them!

The StarWars-fan grand kids must be on another planet, you taking them for a ride in the Porsche and switching over to the spaceship sound from the Taycan ‘motor’ simultaneous taking off with launch controls - huh? ;) Guess you must be a popular grandad!

Came to think about something regarding the StarWars stormtrooper from the Porsche comercial: Those white helmet soldiers are the elite shock troops, or space marines if you like, of the Galactic Empire under leadership of Emeperor Palapatine herunder Darth Vader & co (equal to the bad guys). But aren´t we supposed to be the good guys: Jedi´s - as Luke Skywalker? I´d like to think so, but no I´m all confused . . . hmmm :bandit: Either way, I admit Porsche Taycan is a bad ass car though :captain:

Good job with your mods.

I am going to paint my silver painted Mission E’s with body matching Carrera White Metallic automotive urethane base coat/clear coat. My labor is zero cost, might have $150 in the paint. Planning on buying a set of Mission E’s with summer tires from Suncoast while they are on sale and will paint them and then mount those first before I tackle the wheels that came on the car. Will post a ‘how to’ when I do it.
