Exclamation CTTS Wheel Arch Design

I was not a fan of the Sport package on the Cayenne, so I opted to have the unpainted wheel arches which come with the 21" wheels. Once the New CTTS came out, I started to like the look of the painted arches and decided to paint mine just like the new CTTS.

I have seen the new CTTS at a local Motor Show here, and it looks like the rear arches have a 2-piece design, unlike the unpainted or the painted/sport package arches. You can see it clearly by selecting this new option in the configurator.

So, I guess I have to change the rear arches first, I will confirm it with my Porsche service.

I see what you mean. It looks like the the rear door has part of the wheel arch attached to it. And the front arch looks like 2 parts also.
And the picture of the sports design package also looks like 2 pieces.

What you just described is the Sport Package design, but I'm referring to a different version of these arches.

Turns out there is a new (paintable) version which is the same as the CTTS ones. I will post some pics once I have them installed.

With Side skirts option you mean the Sport Package? Then you are right, there is no difference. I'm talking about the standard arches on the new CTTS. See the pic attached.

This new option is now available in the configurator for the CTT. "Wheel arch extension in exterior color".

Isn't that the standard wheel arch design in the GTS?

They are both color matched but the GTS has bigger wheel arch, same as the sport design package.

CTT-QTR is reffering to the wheel arch extensions with painted option.

Hope that explains

Imo they both look really good, I just don't get why Porsche can't make the painted wheel arch standard on ctt, but the sport design package being standard on GTS.

m currently thinking about getting the sport design package but it is
a little pricey at almost 6,000. How much does the whole techart package cost if you don't mind me asking? Thanks.

CTT-QTR,

Is the new paintable version actually the same as the CTTS? It looks like the two little pieces on the lower part of the arches in the CTTS are matte black (match the lower trims) and the main part of the arch is primed/paintable. Did the arch you get have those two little pieces also primed?
