This lovely white 2011 Panamera S with the factory aerokit was almost perfect from the factory. Almost perfect because the upgraded steering wheel and multi-function does not allow for paddles to change gears from the factory. Hence the TechArt conversion is required:

In she comes:


Great wheel but cumbersome/confusing buttons:


Off comes the wheel/hub:


In goes the TechArt kit:


That's better! One side for upshifting and the other for down-shifting:


The factory front aerokit bumper (just like the GTS):


Ready for home:

 

I have this kit on my panamera turbo and it really is more intuitive, my only complaint is that I wish techart would have painted the buttons that filled the oem shifter spots black to match the steering wheel - it looks stupid with the silver buttons and the silver paddles - nitpicking for sure but on a kit of this price the little details make all the difference and they missed the boat on it.

 

She is a beauty! Paddle shifters are definitely a touch of improvement over MF wheel's. On the side note, please drop that beast!

 

nice!!

 

Roger that and on the complaint I know they have a "black" version cover to help blend but I know what you mean
For sure it just makes more sense this way I don't "palm" the button bracing going in for a turn anymore
Cheers!
