Macan in Volcano Grey or Papaya
Discussion
I know, I know, I know,
Don't spec the car for the next owner or 're-sale BUT as prices have increased I could not help myself but to review my original order and do some fine tuning and in the last six months my order has been in I have had a wobble and now unsure of a Macan in Papaya as its, well, it's a bit orange.
I have retreated to Volano Grey as being a more sober choice.
Would like to hear people's views on:
a) Papaya with black accents
b) Volcano Grey with silver accents
c) other colour options but I'm not keen on black, white or silver.
Hopefully I will shortly be asked to lock my spec.down and need to be sure as it's a lot of money to get it wrong.
Cheers

Well thanks everyone for chipping in with your thoughts.
I do like the carmine red but can't justify the extra cost on premium paint considering my price has gone up £4,500!
You know what? I'm going with my original choice of Papaya with Papaya stitching and belts to give the interior some zing.
I saw one at the OPC when I ordered mine and there must have been something that impressed me to go.for it. It's such a long time ago is six months when you are waiting for a car and the memories fade and if i'm honest I've lost a bit of the enthusiasm for the car in general in waiting so long - and I've got potentially another six months to go yet before I see my car!
Cheers everyone

Papaya looks great and really stands out IRL
I do like a bit of understated grey though. My Macan is Volcano and my GT3 is Agate, and I think it suits them pretty well
Specced them both myself, and very definitely didn't think about resale at any point eg went for comforts in the GT3 so it's worthless!
Worthless! Haha. I do like a bit of understated grey though. My Macan is Volcano and my GT3 is Agate, and I think it suits them pretty well

Yes that's just me - understated! You'll have me on that fence again.
The Gentian GTS does look great especially with those wheels.
Papaya with chalk interior brave option - it's called pebble in the madam range. My local OPC had a Gentian Macan with extended leather in pebble and it looked very special indeed but not sure how serviceable it is in everyday life.
Must get a look at a Macan in Papaya.

Oops, I've not been servicing my own thread. Sorry, but I've lost interest due to the following:-
When Porsche increased their prices it meant a hike of £4,500 and so was not happy having waited over six months and not even got an allocation slot. So I de-specced my order back down to the not inconsiderable original price to hopefully secure an allocation sooner than later. However, the promise of an allocation was put back a little further than an earlier ballpark date and changed a few times during the price conversations I was having with the OPC.
Weeks later I just reflected on the fact I was not getting the car that I originally wanted and there had been too many compromises made on my part to a car I no longer wanted so I cancelled my order and that was that!
I am not destined to be a Porsche owner after all.
Sorry for any disappoint as you've all been very helpful. Cheers.
