Just picked up an 11' CTT and the "Porsche" emblem appears to be painted silver, which is flaking off and needs to be replaced.

Question - was the original Porsche emblem painted silver as opposed to the "Cayenne Turbo" emblem below which is chromed plastic, or did someone modify mine at some point?

Anyone have the correct part number for the correct "Porsche" emblem? I can't seem to find the correct one as almost all my search results come up with the Cayenne Turbo emblem instead.

The porsche wording will flake off with time. They all do it.

Any Porsche emblem will work as the one I used was from a Panamera.

PORSCHE Cayenne Turbo Emblem

Mine appears to be painted silver, not chrome. Do you know if the 11's originally came with painted silver or chrome? Going for the original stock look.

Both my Porsche wording and my Cayenne Turbo wording are or were painted silver.

Both have started to chip away. Happens when you take a DA to the paint and hit that emblem.

If your Cayenne Turbo is chrome looking, it may be a replacement. Mine wasn't chrome. Chrome don't get you home.

I say de-badge.

I'm thinking of debadging myself.

Before I got my Cayenne someone had lifted the tailgate into something solid, and the impact was right on the lettering. I didn't notice until I had the car for about a week.

At the bottom of each letter of PORSCHE there is a slight dent from where the impact pushed the letter into the body panel. The Cayenne was dented right on the 'C', so it didn't stick correctly and kept breaking the letter... As a quick fix I added a "turbo" so I could move the Cayenne logo over and off the dent.

I noticed the other day that some of the chrome on the letters is starting to chip-off, and I've been wanting to take the turbo badge back off as well, so I'm going to de-badge the whole thing and have a painless dent repair guy come and smooth things out before I reapply the lettering. Might leave it de-badged if the paint repair is good enough...

$450 - ouch, clearly Ptax added here for the all black version

note to self, cover logos when polishing paint

i might debadge just the "Cayenne" logo from my trunk of my CD
IMHO, it does nothing to the over look and just a pain to clean.
if i do it, most likely will be using fishing line

PORSCHE emblem in all chrome or Matte Silver only $65 USD

I was told by a tech at a body shop that fishing line can scratch paint, so he recommended dental floss.

thanks for the tip.

Dental floss is better. Sometimes you need to use fishing line because the floss isn't strong enough but the lettering on the rear gate isn't stuck on hard.

Maybe a little heat from a hair dryer too?
