Had a look at the sportsdesign kit. Pretty disappointing IMO
I quite like the front spoiler, in fact I think I like it better then the Turbo front (this is based on the configurator). But I think the main attraction is getting rid of all the black plastic trim, in which case I could get it wrapped instead. Leaning towards leaving it for now, once I've seen it in the flesh I can always get it done after market.
My previous 3 cayennes have been white, just fancied a change!
I’ve actually put my order on hold as there seems to be quite a few options which are unavailable right now, I really want the Turbo s hybrid so I am going to wait for that to arrive although I know it’s going to be a fair jump in price.

Going in the opposite direction, black -> white. Reading your spec just reminded me of the ship in the book I’ve actually put my order on hold as there seems to be quite a few options which are unavailable right now, I really want the Turbo s hybrid so I am going to wait for that to arrive although I know it’s going to be a fair jump in price.
Presume it'll be a bit of a wait as well. Although if you are going Cayenne -> Cayenne not such a big deal.
No! Keep to your choice, I'm just not in the market for a Cayenne. I'd go for 60th anniversary Defender if I wanted a big 4x4. For the job you want it to do, there is no better. If it was 70k I wouldn't be batting an eye but at that value its in the reach of something a little more special (but wouldn't do the job!)

I’m not a fan of Range Rovers, I’ve had a couple of Q7s some time ago and also don’t like the new one, Bentaga? not for me either.
Enquirered about the Lambo Urus but realistically that’s going to be close to 200k with options.
I’m open to other suggestions...

G63amg (G wagen) have you sat in one? Give it a go!
One more question, I've ticked the 21" Turbo Design wheels in satin. Really like them on the show cars and think they will set off a white car nicely. Bit steep @ £2800, are there any aftermarket equivalents I should consider? My instinct is once I add tyres, after markets won't be far off unless I can sell the standard alloys/tyres.

This may sound stupid, but you may have warranty issues if you change to non OEM wheels, apparently there are some OPCs who get twitchy if you have a non OEM battery or even wipers!!!
It has occurred to me. Heard of similar issues with BMW being less amenable about suspension related issues when people have big aftermarket wheels installed. Also a little apprehensive about large aftermarkets on a big heavy SUV. OEM wheels are having issues on our roads these days :/Still going back and forth on sport design. £6k on wheels and getting rid of black trim under car seems silly, but I prefer it body coloured
(on the configurator atleast).

Simple answer - go for black or dark blue with 21" wheels, so you at least get the coloured wheel arch extensions. I'm going for dark metallic blue and keeping the chrome for some contrast.
You get the matching extensions with the white as well, unless I've misunderstood what you mean. I like the blue, but the black trim would still bother me. So its between black and white. Also contemplating black with black interior or go with beige. Currently got Ivory White in my BMW, which has held up surprisingly well, so not as averse to light interiors as i used to be.I've just put my final spec in with Reading. They have a number of new Cayennes in the workshop and out the back, all LHD, but a mixture of S's and Turbos. I gather they're being used as the UK press fleet, training, type approval, etc.
Interestingly a lot of them are in the new Biscay Blue launch colour, which looks surprisingly good in the metal, especially with the black trim and grey Turbo alloys, but it's too similar in tone to my current Meteor Grey car for me. The black plastic trim obviously stands out a lot on white cars, especially the S, but the contrast wasn't so bad for blue and almost invisible for black.
I settled on Moonlight Blue, with 21" RS Spyder wheels, and am keeping the chrome/aluminium brightwork to match the wheels and provide a bit of contrast. The interior will be very practical black!

Coincidentally also saw a Biscay Blue with Turbo Design alloys in the Reading workshop Interestingly a lot of them are in the new Biscay Blue launch colour, which looks surprisingly good in the metal, especially with the black trim and grey Turbo alloys, but it's too similar in tone to my current Meteor Grey car for me.

I didn't really like the colour, I would call it a whimpy blue Prefer my blues with a little more depth/zing/punch. I do like the meteor grey btw, so guess its a case of everyone seeing colours completely differently.It was actually that viewing thats freshest in my mine and reinforced my prejudice against the black trim under the car.
Giving some serious thought to your suggestion of swapping to black. If I do, trying to decide wether to stick with black pack and black interior or drop one/both.
