2012 to 2014 conversion suggestions please
Hi brothers... I've a 2012 Panamera S Hybrid which I'm deciding to do a conversion to 2014 Panamera Turbo S. Any help and suggestions? I've a person that can do the coding, but he's not going to tell me the things that I need to use for the conversion because he's going to charge a lot for that... haha.. Can anyone list of the single thing that I need to use for the conversion please? Thanks a lot

Why don't you just buy a 2014 Turbo? I think you will spend more on parts & labor then it would cost to just sell your current car and buy what you want. I think the fenders are different as well from Gen1 to Gen2 because the headlights are different. So now you're going to buy an entire front end and an entire rear end then you have to install, paint, code and deal with any issues that arise I can't see how you'll come out ahead. When it's all done the bottom line is you still have a 2012 hybrid for resale value.

Personally, and speaking from experience as a previous 2012 Panamera hybrid owner, I would rather have a Panamera that looks like a hybrid but has a Turbo engine, than having a Turbo body with a hybrid engine.
I replaced my 2012 Panamera Hybrid for a 2013 GTS and my life has changed !
The last time I truly appreciated and loved a car like I do my current GTS, was 25 years ago when I was in college and driving an Alfasud 1.5ti Q.
Forget the looks, what matters is under the hood

I checked on the forum and realized there was no option to upgrade the taillights on the Panamera 2010-2013 to the newer taillights of the 2014-2016...
One of the options was to smoke out the taillights, or apply a red vinyl... but I had one of my friends who got stopped by the cops (i have to admit his tail lights were too dark)
I looked online and check those pictures :
left side 2010-2013 tail light, right side 2014-2016 tail light...
how is it possible, I thought wiring and shape were different
Panamera experts can you let me know if this is possible
