I thought about trying Porsche's Aurum Gold center caps but that color seemed a much stronger Gold than the Apex Motorsport Gold, which is a very bright, almost Silver Gold color. I then saw Doug Demuro's review of the 992 GT3 Touring which was GB with gold wheels and it had the black with silver center locks on it, and thought it looked great. The black also ties into my black calipers and wheel lugs. Could have went with colored crests but, again, the gold in the crests is much stronger than the gold wheels and didn't want it to clash.
I went with the dark bronze and like you I have been running the black center caps. My wheel guys are coming by Monday to see if they can try to match the stock gold center caps to the wheels. However, my guess is that it will be easier to darken than to lighten as they can add a darker clearcoat.
Soooo happy I chose this colour! I love how much depth it has and how it changes hues in different lighting condition. I’m biased but this might be the best non-PTS colour in a long time.
I saw a Taycan in this color the other day and was impressed by the depth, which generally does not photograph. Above poster captured it well. Been afraid my car would show up the color of those boring blue Teslas. This is a darker, richer version of Lemans Blue on my M5.

Beautiful car, love the interior. My only criticism would be the red calipers, they just don't seem to go with the rest of your spec.
I didn’t black them out as I plan to do them in Shark Blue to match the interior accents or Chalk (but then good luck ever keeping them clean lol) over the winter.

It really hits close to a lot of BMW blues; kind of in between LeMans and San Marino with the purple tones.

I think having them done in Gentian blue would look cleaner, but chalk could definitely work, but as you've pointed out, keeping them clean won't be fun... though you have silver wheels, so you'll be cleaning them plenty anyway

I’ve had sliver, platinum and black wheels and silver by a good margin IMO hides the dirt the best. I’d do the callipers in black on that one.
Another thing is, after 3000KM and very spirited driving, mine didn’t dust nor squeal nearly as much as I expected or compared to my brothers’ either. Wonder if the pad formulation has changed yet again…

Can you post some interior shots please? Did you do alcantara/race-tex delete? Or just did CXX seats only?

Sure! I did CXX:
Seats in chalk leather, Graphite Blue/Chalk/Black pepita inserts (was denied Speed Blue/Chalk/Pepita color way ala Sally Carrera), Speed Blue piping and embroidery
Armrest, dash and console trim in Chalk leather
Personalized illuminated door sills
Personalized floor mats in Chalk lining with Speed Blue stitching
Remaining items I couldn’t do but will do through Exclusive Option:
Door grab handles in Chalk with deviated stitching in Speed Blue
Door pull straps in Shark Blue (yet these are available as an option for GT4RS/SRS!)
Thank you, sir. Some more pics/videos on my Instagram @6ixspeedonly
I can’t wait to it back in my hands and take some proper photos. I intended on taking much more during my time with Euro Delivery but I couldn’t stop enjoying the driving.
