Spoiler Colour

[911fjs]

(Still) playing about with colours on the configurator prior to freezing my CT next month.
Has anyone else noticed that the spolier colour has been changed this week from black to body coloured?
I'm not sure I like this.
Anyone know if this is a change for 2022 or a glitch in the configurator?

Next change will be black spoiler like option for 650

Which version do you mean - new body color or as was in black?

Body colour - just looks wrong especially on the lighter colours - can see it looks better with darker colours - but for me the contrast with the black spoiler makes the rear end of the car - I’ll be really annoyed if ours arrives with the painted spoiler.
The dealer will be asked to make it right based on what we ordered


Appreciate it’s all subjective and many will love body coloured arches and spoilers so I won’t rant too much )

Makes some sense to paint it body color if there's no pano roof. With the roof, the body color band breaks the continuity of roof to hatch. Don't like it on my Ice Grey build at all. Hoping this is a glitch in the configurator since it appears the color/shadow rendering has changed a bit too. Rails don't appear as glossy black either.

I hadn't noticed until your post, I am delighted it looks much better to me on my choice of Mamba!

I think this is very much a marmite change and seems to pivot on whether or not one has a) a lighter colour and/or b) a panoramic roof.

For myself, with the pano roof coming, I find this an aesthetically retrograde change. I’m hoping it’ll arrive black still. I liked the continuity of it on the roof.

I just checked my build code and it looks like the spoiler on my build has been changed to crayon.

I'm not sure how I feel about this lol.

Heard back from my dealer...
He checked their internal system listed spec and its still showing "roof spoiler in gloss black".
Fingers crossed this really is the case as I'm planning a light colour and pano roof and the more I look, the more I don't like the body coloured spoiler...
Must say the configurator really is a poor effort from Porsche

My fingers are firmly crossed!

So,

If you configure a car on the UK configurator and then go to summary, print and then download the PDF it still lists the roof spoiler as gloss black. Not that this is definitive proof of what will actually arrive when the car does.

The previous US configurator did show the pano roof when the roof rails were selected.

This is a really good point - can't believe I just reviewed my build with the STILL out of date US configurator that does not show the pano-roof but only shows the metal roof!! And you're right with the same color metal roof it makes design sense but with the essentially black pano-roof the all black spoiler much more seamless - dammit!

Yes but my point is that you cannot view your build as selected w/o roof rails whereas for example on the UK site it is seamless. Don't get me started with the endless list of additional dysfunction in the US site, just no excuse for a premium brand to have such a lame implementation imo.

Interesting as asked my SA here in the US and he confirmed the opposite i.e. that my build now has a body color spoiler!

this should be able to be optioned in carbon fiber to match the side-view mirrors.

I was told the same today by my US Dealer.

Also noticed that 4S no longer have red calipers.

In my configuration (22" Cross Turismo Design wheels) it doesn't show the standard calipers (Red or Black) The grey and yellow are shown. With any other wheel the red calipers are shown again.

I just found out that the spoiler is in body collor. Don't know what i like more...?
For the rest, the privacy glass is more dark, and the roof rails more grey (less black) on the new configurator...
