I am in the process of ordering a Panamera Turbo. There is an option to have the rear apron painted the same color as the car (in my case Carbon Grey). The standard apron is sort of a flat black. Anyone have any thoughts on how this trim part woulod look painted. Does it make the rear end more pronounced. Also, the Turbo comes with a titanium colored "diffuser" in the middle of the rear apron. What are the thoughts on painting it the body color or leaving it titanium.

I like the look when the apron is painted, but diffuser remains standard. It doesn't make the biggest difference on darker cars (such as yours), but it is a small detail that is definitely noticed.

 

Not a big difference to me. The center diffuser dominates the look of the lower rear.

 

My 4S is Dark Blue. I had the apron painted body color and the diffuser left black. Looks good, a bit distinctive IMO. Makes it my car vs. something from a dealer order.

 

finnishes off the rear end imo - leave the diffuser though

 

Thanks everyone....I ordered the car with the rear apron painted and left the diffuser alone.

 

I had both painted to match the rest of the car (Basalt Black Turbo) as I didn't want the color difference to highlight the rear of the car.

 

I ordered mine with painted rear apron and left the diffuser black. IMHO, having it painted makes less difference on darker colored cars as compared to lighter colors such as my aqua blue metallic.

 

Good call on getting the apron painted Howardrobin!

LR everytime I see picture of your Panny it makes me want one!
Looks great!

 

I agree, no diff
