I’m a bit torn on this - I like it but I’m worried it’s a bit showy / crass for such a beautiful car.

Have many here gone for this option or is it a bit of a no?

My order has gone in based on the below config but I’m a way off the freeze date:

I don’t like it. But you can always remove it. It’s a low risk situation.

Maybe on a lighter car (dolomite, ice grey, white), but not on dark. Will hold water and create spots. Ruins the cleanness of it.

I like it.....

Debadged the back for a cleaner look, and wazzed it on the side instead.
Personalises it a bit for me.

love that colour… I’m trying to keep it a bit low key as it’s a daily driver and I’ll be meeting clients etc. Played a part in choosing black on black. If I didn’t have to worry about the green eyed monster I’d have gone dolomite or ice grey I think.

I'm not against it but I don't like it on a Sedan body. I think it's a better choice on a 911 or 718.

I use it as a daily driver and have to visit clients etc also.

I am telling them that I can afford it as thankfully our fees are based on the profits we make for them, and we have been doing so well! ?

I also tell them its costing about the same as my last car at its so cheap to run.

I don't think the colour would be an issue tbh.
Black would be as much an issue as Silver or grey if someone were of that frame of mind. Maybe even more so if its shiny and gleaming imo.

In fact, I have had a number of clients say they love the colour.

Kinda hard to tone down these cars. It gets more attention than my exotic weekender car. Embrace it and just park towards the back of the parking lot when you meet with clients!

I went an entirely different route all together...more of an homage to days gone by.

Love this combo! Very unique and looks like a racer. Nice job!

Just to break up all the white I added the electric and Taycan 4S badges to the front doors. Also wrapped the roof and door handles in gloss black.

I refuse to have the word "Turbo" emblazoned on an EV - so I did model delete and that would include nothing on the doors - 4S is less embarrassing so that might be acceptable.
