Default My 2016 Porsche Cayenne Diesel I just picked up.....











from Manhattan Motor Cars. 2016 Porsche Cayenne Diesel with 10k miles. I had it it paint corrected, ppf’d, and Coated by Signature Detail in Hillsborough NJ. Greg ar Signature Detail did amazing job getting this Cayenne looking like new since it sat in a lot for 17 months. I had all the emblems removed and replaced with oem matte black ones. I was able to source a set of 20” oem wheels and powder coat them matte black and I mounted Michelin LTX Premiers which make the ride super smooth. Overall, I’m super happy with my Cayenne! Thank You Dan Sene for delivering me another Porsche! You truly are an amazing Porsche Ambassador!

Btw, the paint really pops! The reflection from the body panels are super amazing! Like hard candy finish!

Out of curiosity, how much did it cost to have the paint protection, ppf, and coating done? Just picked up a cayenne diesel with 16k miles and looking to get it looking clean, since it is black. Also, need to get those wheels too.

It looks as if it was done - if not - get it done. PPF on the headlights is a very good idea. It immediately stops the clearcoat breakdown that happens with plastic lenses, plus protects them against sandblasting and rocks. I think I can see the margin of clear coat on one of your photos, so it was probably already done. I had it done on mine when I got it - and the headlights still look like brand new. If they stop looking brand-new, not a huge expense to get the PPF replaced.

Thank You. I had it done in Hillsborough, NJ by Greg of Signature Detail. PM me for cost, but trust me it was well worth it. As far as the wheels, I bought them on eBay and had them powder coated by ACR Wheels in Cream Ridge, NJ. Chip and his team by far are the best at achieving OEM quality work and color. If I decide to go to 21” OEM, I’ll sell you the wheels if your interested.

Yes, the PPF was just done same day as delivery. If you buy any of these Diesel Cayenne’s I recommend you get them Paint Corrected since they have been sitting for awhile. Thank You for the props.

You are correct on the paint correction.
The top surface on ours was very ruff.
Took 3 solid weekends to get to my satisfaction.

Love your Diesel. Looks great!

How much were the LED fog lights? Did you install them yourself?

Easy to install, just need the adapter to fit our Cayenne’s. Dealership did the install on them.

Read that a long time ago and truly never believed in the hype. The guy that powder coats for me has been doing work for me for years plus does a lot of high end cars and never has failed me. I’ll take my chances, plus I don’t think I would ever take a sledgehammer to my wheels... lol!
