Hi guys,
Finally took delivery of a blk/blk panamera 4s with sport design bodykit, turbo 2s, premium plus, carbon interior, vent seats front and back. Was going to get a lighter color car but got a good deal on this black one, plus i love the sport design kit. Black berry pix below, will take some better ones later. Thinking doing red brake calipers, 7mm spacers, gold wheel center cap, v1 hardwire, and maybe techart paddles and awe exhausts. I kinda like the quite right now, my cayenne sounded awesome but can be tiresome after while. It will be missed but i'm very impressed with the panamera so far.

The car is pretty quick for my need, but i'm still experiencing the same "uncertainty" in acceleration just like when i first test drove these cars. What i mean by this is i never know if i will get a smooth, linear acceleration or a shaky, not so powerful one, when pressing the pedal to the metal. Perhaps manual mode will help for better control? If so i'm definitely getting the techart paddle shifter mod.

Congratulations! Having had mine for just under 2 weeks, I can totally relate to your feelings! I'm intending to do some light detailing this weekend and put a coat of SwissWax on her, assuming Hurricane Irene doesn't mess up my plans.

Regarding the driving characteristics, you'll get used to it or get it figured out quickly. I have about 600 miles on mine now and I'm much more comfortable driving the car than I initially was. And my prior DD was an '06 M5!

Congrats on your new car ! I got mine 2 months ago too. Love your body kit !!

I am new to making changes to the car Where could I get the caliper replaced to RED ? This will look HOT ! Is it OEM caliper ?

Also what is a V1 hardwire ?

Thanks

Thanks. The caliper will be painted RED, replacement will cost thousands, not worth in IMO. Valentine one radar wiring direct to fuse box...

The black + turbo II combo looks really good! Congrats on the choices. The sport design pack is surprisingly hard to spot in a black car. Anyway, enjoy! Remember your car should be driven moderately at first, if driven hard right away, might add to the jerky feeling. Also gearbox adapts to driving style.
