Retrofits; side blades, interior and logo's!

[Pepppie]

Update December 6, 2025:
Updates 3 & 4: Turbonite logo and painted PORSCHE-letters
Update 2: Side blades painted in exterior color
Update 1: New cognac nappa interior


Original first post:
I ordered my Macan as a demo from the dealer and for that reason I wasn't able to choose the side blades in the exterior color. The blades on my Macan (see attached picture) are the basic plastic side blades (with the 'bumps' on it) and, what I think, unable to paint. Also I'm considering to replace / paint the wheelarches in exterior color.

Did someone already did these mod(s) and what is a good site to finds partnumbers? For example, for BMW I always use realoem.com.

What you're looking for is the lower door molding (95B-898-561-F, 562-F, etc.). But they're not cheap.

Thanks for the reply, but isn't the 95B the previous model Macan?

It is indeed, but that's what's coming up when you select the Macan electric. Might be a catalog error!

Those parts are not painted, they are just primed - you not then finish them in black gloss or your exterior paint color.

Those parts can be delivered on short notice. It is recommended to order the adhesive tape along: V04015800A.

About the wheel arches: This is on another level, because it seems you need more parts in the lower section - where the painted turbo arches connect to the cladding.

Got some info from the dealer here (Netherlands) for all the parts to get the car completely in body color!

1. The first 4 lines are the wheel arches (FL, FR, RL and RR).
2. Line 5 until 8 are the panels on the doors (FL, FR, RL and RR) as @xkrblr already wrote.
3. Line 9 until 12 are the lower parts under the doors.

I can get 15% discount on the parts at the dealer, but I'm searching online for better prices! If someone has a good supplier (in Europe), please let me know

Little update; since I didn't received any better deal than the one from my dealer, I decided to order the parts there. I receive them next week, then to the painter!

If anyone is interested in the base black panels; let me know!

Post some pictures when you are done. Are you are doing it yourself? Seems like a bigger job.

 

[Pepppie]

I will!

Not a big job. The parts are mounted with some clips (included on the parts) and some tape. Only thing I need to do is to get the parts painted.

I thought wheel arches are more complicated. Please post how you get along.

I did the side blades a month ago - there is nothing special about it; except you really need the tape to install it.

How did it go?

Are the wheel arches and list trim you ordered in HGB from the Turbo that you're going to paint body color?

 

[Pepppie]

Apologies for my delayed response! I have decided to start with the door strips and perhaps later the edges near the wheel arches.

However, the interior will be thoroughly redone! The vehicle is currently at an upholsterer who is installing an Exclusive interior. In terms of color and style, it will be similar to this Cayenne: https://www.coolsbekledingen.nl/automotive/alle-modellen-cayenne/porsche-cayenne-turbo-s/.

I have the extensive black leather package, and my dashboard will remain as it is. The center console will be done, though. Expecting the car back in 2 weeks!

Little sneak preview about what is coming

(looks a little orange on a photo, more brown in reality)
