Well these things are a personal choice - it sort of reminds me of the Renault Clio Williams :-)

I do like that!

It’s your car / your choice. Don’t buy for others or their opinions!

Do it, it's brilliant! Can always get the alloys re-finished at a later date if the appeal wears off.

I had this combination on my short list. I like it.
But I swapped out the red calipers though, i think they look too prominent on a real car

I'll never own one but if my lottery numbers come up... it'll be a navy blue turbo s with the same colour combination.

(although the GT3 rims don't fit the turbo...I'll find a way)

I’d lose the chrome trim and red callipers other than looks fantastic

Can black callipers be added to non ceramic brakes?

Yes, I have chosen them on my new Macan that arrives next month, they cost £581

"chased by subaru owners?!" ... good job it's not a 2.0 Macan you're ordering because subaru owners would be overtaking you!

Thumbs up from me.

Don't think I've ever seen one in the flesh that wasn't silver or black.

I quite like that. If you want to see what it looks like in the flesh, there was a press car in this colour scheme: https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/porsche/5dr-pd...

I spotted that very car for sale as an approved used car a week or two ago but it's gone already, so it clearly appealed to somebody else too.

At risk of getting into too much detail with your spec, I'd probably replace the chrome window trim with black so it doesn't clash with the wheels.

I think it looks pretty terrible, if I'm honest. Silver trims and tailpipes don't help; at least needs the exterior monochrome pack otherwise its the clash of Aurum and Silver.

Mine is boring Jet Black Metallic. If I was doing it again I would get a much braver colour. Saw one Orange (Papaya?) today and with the black contrast elements it looked fantastic - in my opinion!

As others have said it's your car!!
Blue and gold work.
BRG and gold is class and classic.
Black and gold JPS if you remember the Lotus of the time?

Lovely PTS Nogaro Blue car in my OPC is very nice.

Ta for that link!

Yeah I've had a few replies about black trim (and I won't be going for the full extended leather like the TG one, just normal full leather). Definitely looks more modern than chrome, though I'm old before my years so I'll take that.
