Delivery! Cross Turismo 4S in Crayon/Crayon with CT design wheels - Just collected

[ciaranob]

Didn't know they could be lowered even further. Cheers for the link something I'll look into once I get it.

Yeah I was 100% looking into getting the arches colour matched but wasn't too keen on having them removed to be replaced or sprayed. If I can find someone do it whilst on the car then it's something I would explore.

If you get the right shop or dealership setup you'd never know they were off and the benefit of ensuring no paint lines but I can appreciate your angst here One chap made the suggestion that potentially the metal frame under these plastic coverings might be the very same as on the sedan (improbable to me but if these plastic coverings are clipped and taped maybe?) - just for that possibility alone I'd like to see

Stunning!

The wheel colour works perfectly with Crayon!

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Mate I'm assuming you have:
Gloss black windows trim
Gloss black front and rear apron
Tinted tail lights

Would this be correct?

Are your headlights tinted?

Just collected today and a few initial snaps... very pleased indeed with it!

Double pug sized boot!

Stunning spec

looks amazing, great to see cars finally arriving. Did you spec the partition net for the dogs?

This is the spec:
http://www.porsche-code.com/PMP4NAH4

So includes 'Side window trims in Black (high-gloss)' and 'Inlays painted in Black (high-gloss)'... but not tinted tail lights.

Looks amazing.

Are the wheels the standard colour?
Also cheeky i know, any chance of a pic of it in the lowest setting?
I really want to order one of these but its so hard to find a nice one to view here in the UK at present

@ciaranob @Regy53 ... Here are three quick snaps from slightly different angles with the suspension in its lowest position. I'm not sure how well it shows up on a photo as the gloss black side skirts tend to blend into the shadow under the car but it looks squat enough to my eyes, personal taste as with most things I suppose ?

Beautiful car! Definitely the best wheels with the CT. My dealer put me off the mats with the edging but I agree your looks great - can you show us a picture of the front mats?

Sure.... apologies but I forgot to vac it first!

Thanks a mil for taking these pics - most appreciated - and indeed always a personal taste so absolutely no criticism intended I like it at least 1/2 in lower possibly still 1". Whats nice about the FVD links is that you can adjust to anywhere from 0-2" which covers all options for me.

One addl. question - I asked elsewhere but have yet to receive a response - in the "Individual" chassis settings option menu can you basically set up the car as to how you wish it to sit regardless of mode i.e. so basically force the car to always be in lowest suspension? I suspect that is exactly what Individual allows but would be nice to know for certain.

Thx again and the car really does look excellent - I had a similar color combo in a BMW Sport wagon years ago (E46) and still brings back good memories

No, to be honest I didn't know there was a partition net option. Our little pugs are too small to need one though so probably wouldn't have specced it anyway.

Hmmmm.... I haven't tried configuring the 'Individual' mode yet (it's on the list!). I'll report back when I've had a chance to play! ?

Thanks very much for that. Your example is stunning

I too was worried they look a bit high in most pics but In the lowest setting above it looks perfect. Thanks

Well in looking at your build you've actually convinced me to make a change to mine when I thought I was truly 100% done !

I am changing the exterior color inlays to high glass black vs my original choice of the body color, Volcano Grey.

The more I look at the accent matching the wheel color in my build vs that two-tone combo on the skirts the happier I am to change it - thx again for sharing!

PS: Really annoying that the US configurator still shows the metal roof despite all Taycans in the US now having a default panoramic glass roof! Also, why the heck can we not get a 360 viewer?

Beauty - Congrats! I've ordered these wheels in high gloss black, my body color being Volcano Grey. Had not appreciated the level of two-tone color on the std. wheel - may need to look again at this!
Would like to see the referenced lowest setting pic too - TBH every time I see the stock height/stance I cringe a little as it really is crazy high. Planning to install the FVD links to lower by ca. 1" but again need to see more of this car in the Sport Plus/Range Mode lowest setting to get a better feel of how much I will ultimately set the lowering to.

This is what I'd prefer my stance to be:

Hmm seems like you're really after a Taycan Sport Turismo?

Essentially but have zero patience to wait

Better idea of what I plan with tint, paint and lowering:
