I previously never thought gloss black handles would look better than paint-matched, but on this spec specifically, I’m thinking it might look better. So I thought I’d ask for the wisdom of the crowd!

Mamba green, paint matched wheels, carbon fiber mirrors, black headlights+taillights.

Can’t go wrong either way, but I’m partial to the gloss black, which is how I specd my mamba CT. Just attention to details—makes a subtle design statement using the often-overlooked handles. ?

I'll go for black handles. I made similar spec in mamba for CT and black handles imho looked great.

My Mamba CT in a less than favourable light with black handles. I’m very glad indeed I specced them, I think with the other black accents they help to shape the waistline of the car nicely.

green handles as will look odd against carbon mirrors ( or change mirrors and save a lot of money)
ditch the colour wheel option to all black.Maybe add side skirts colour matched. but its your car so go with your heart. Love green was so close to taking that option.

Normally I’d say paint-matched door handles. However, on this spec the black looks quite good and matches a number of the other components.

I love your build so much that I made a thread with this same exact pic, asking if those wheels will fit the Taycan sedan ?
Cheers my friend. Biggest compliment! ??????

Disagree! That said, I might have specced the black handles if available on MY21 sedan.

You can certainly add high gloss black vinyl wrap for the handles. If you tire of it, rip it off and you're back to where you started.
