If only this option was available in the UK. I think Audi really missed a trick there, I would have picked that option.

She's just been detailed. A couple of shots.
Seeing yours makes mine feel so far away, just want it to hurry up

First adaptor waiting times where a walk in the park....in comparison to what it is now but maybe the longer waiting times are a good thing as slowly but surely owners are beginning to to get problematic gremlins and faults also l think the Hype has dwindled away now honeymoon period overI thought you enjoyed every minute of your stress free wait
yeah it’s been a bit back to front this time round hasn’t it with shorter lead times and ironically lower prices for early adopters.
touch wood quality on mine has been rock solid so far with zero faults or niggles and even the brakes don’t squeal.
My 8v was in & out the shop countless times in the first 6 months of ownership for squeaking brakes and warped discs.
The 8y does feel solidly built even if some of the materials are lower grade.
my brakes squeal now and again when cold - I think they’ve just got an aggressive pad tbh… I’m not too fussed by it though.
Been trying hard to capture all the angles going on down the side of the car - really is my favourite view but so hard to get across in pics.
My latest effort to capture it though shows the distortion to the wife’s 1er - plus mythos black clean again and even dust free (for now )

Now that looks great worth the extra £2k or £2600 over KemoraPorsche Chalk……

i thought you didn’t like that colour mate ?
(crayon)
Or is chalk a different colour ?
first time I saw it on a Porsche I thought it looked good although it is common on Porsche’s now - problem of any nice colour when it becomes too popular

And yet another stonking example, and it's a saloon which is by far the best variant.
really, really nice car chap.
Don't see many Porsche cars around my way if l do their either black or agate grey...YUCK ....l think most colours on a Porsche look great if you option the right exterior packs and the right alloys ie the most expensive ones lol the Macan gts Jordan had was a £100k l think Crayon is even lighter in tone to Chalk both separate colours here's one for ya that Chalk Macan had the coloured key option and it was Miami blue not Chalk and also Miami blue seat belts.....looked awesome just shows how much a Porsche can be configured and to a lesser extent so is the golf gti variants...even the R...model apart from 3 paint colours l mean how F@@KED up is that..only 3 colours? last but not least is most expensive Vag hatchback the RS3 8Y which is the least configurable performance car they make.....too many millenials employed by Vag me thinks...because it does make sense lol
yeah the Porsche configurator is huge isn’t it yet Audi & VW have imposed massive limitations.
Porsche does have some of the nicest shades of blue for sure
Chalk and crayon are the same colour mate I asked the sales guy in Porsche Bolton last month
Do you believe everything a salesman tells ye lol yeah they are
No I don't as most don't know their ar$e from their elbow but to be fair to him he knew his stuff .
I just cant get into this grey primer colour, maybe I have painted far too many cars in my past and seen them all 'primer grey' even thinking at the time they looked quite nice, but now, no, just cant like it, or understand it tbh?
Any other colour I can 'accept' and see why people might want it, I would (and nearly did) have my RS3 in Kyalami, I nearly swapped it to Daytona, the white looks ok, but Kemora/Nardo/Crayon, not for me!! good job we are all different eh?
What where you doing in a Porsche dealership ??????????
Chalk/Crayon...is the best out of a bad bunch ...I like the chalk but I wouldn't choose it for my own car...and l think skoda have used it on some their cars it's very similar or do l need my eyes test...lol

I went in about ordering a Macan S but was quoted next July which dampened my enthusiasm to order .
With nothing readily available I just don't know what to do other than keep my car for the time being .
Its 3 and half year old in September and now has done 29k so I want to get out of it while it still holds decent value .
The Macan gts Jordan had...is their new Demo for his dealership so they won't sell
Even in a £100k Porsche they use faux/plastic leather in the rear seats just like Audi's does shame on them
Shocking that especially from a brand as big as Porsche does it surprise me no .
I thought the Macan cabin was lovely to be honest nothing stood out as looking or feeling cheap .
Solid build quality mate not a fan of microfiber everywhere ....in the gts loved the red on the chrono and on the speedo.....miami blue seat belts they just looked classy not tacky the Porsche just gets away with it for some reason
Very nice. How are you finding the suspension and ride comfort now it's been changed for a bit?
Absolutely fine. I was quite apprehensive about how the car would feel as I don't have the adaptive dampers but with the Eibachs there's almost no difference to ride quality even on our rough roads in Scotland lol
That's really good. So you'd do it again then, and the spacers? What about tyre issues with the lowered set up?
No issues with tyres or rubbing on the pirellis with the springs or spacers.
Nice. Do I remember rightly that you had the geometry set up properly afterwards?
Mate talk about living rent free in someone’s head what the hell are you actually on about? If lowering a car and it needing an alignment is fooking it up then crack on fella absolute mouthpiece.

Guys please try to get along. This is a forum and we have some young members reading with their parents. Life is to short to fall out over a car.
