Sports design - Paint cladding/ plastic
Guys,
Actually besides the front bumpers, isn't the sportsdesign front apron option just paining the cladding/ plastic parts on the rear bumper and also sides?
if so should we just paint the plastic parts ourselves? of course im intending to use a professional to do this.

What he said. Plus, we asked about painting at our dealer (they have their own body shop). They do not paint the cladding. It's a textured, ruggedized surface to which it's apparently difficult to get primer to adhere. Paint will stick... for a time.
SportDesign looks great. Love the aggressiveness of it, especially at the rear (the front I'm not as wild on). But we were advised to skip it were we planning to take our Cayenne off-road. Which we will -- occasionally, on vacation. Shiny painted, slightly lower-hanging bits are not the friend of gravel, rocks, mud, etc. on the trail.

Had a look at a white one today - looks superb in the light colours (cannot justify the price) but on a black/MB/grey I think it i a waste of money as you will not appreciate it anywhere near as much

Thanks for your inputs.
the thing is that I prefer the sport design (front apron) which only include the front bumper and also the sides painted (not side skirts) and also part of the rear cladding painted.
i think the sports design which includes the side skirts and rear bumper is too aggressive for my liking

Absolutely. As long as you’re happy with the car you’re purchasing with your own hard-earned money, nothing else matters.
I don’t think I’ve seen owner photos of just the SD front end, and how it integrates with the rest of the car. I’d love to see your car when you’ve got it.

I don’t know how to attach pictures but here’s the link. I think car looks cleaner. Very similar to turbo.

I start seeing 2019 Cayenne on the road. When I admire the overall design, that rear bumper with a huge portion of cladding looks like an unfinished product. Turbo's rear bumper is acceptable. Sport design is great!

While the cladding may not be as aesthetically pleasing to the eye, it serves the practical purpose of taking a beating from rocks and debris that might ding the car's paint. I wish they had an option to just remove the cladding and then you would have everything painted by default and not have to pay extra.

That option seems a good compromise on looks versus cost and performance compared with the full-on SportDesign body kit. The front end is still a little puffy and fish-faced for my taste, but that's just my own personal view.

I think the consensus is if you choose any of the metallic paints it will be difficult to match. If you go with the standard white or black then it will be easier to match. My guess is it is hit or miss (dependent on the skill level of the third party doing the painting) and it's always better to go with the original manufacturer than outside on these things. Same goes for the black trim around the window. You could go third party and save some money but it probably won't look as clean as Porsche would do it.
