Default Gloss black on metallic black?

On a black metallic Macan 4 do you recommend gloss black for the side skirts, window trim and mirrors (bottom part) or leave them standard?

I don't have a strong opinion about gloss back, but there at least a couple more options you're going to need to add if you're going the high glass route. (door handles, model designations etc). I'd try to be consistent (all or none)

One more vote for consistency, mix and match of the blacks won't look amazing.

I think sideblades, windows trim + mirrors are all that is needed?

The door handles are already in body color?

I don't know how different metallic black is from high gloss black. The side blades, door handles and mirrors can be gloss black or body color, so I don't think you can go wrong with either. If you're going high gloss black with the window trim, I think keeping the standard (silver?) model designation is a missed opportunity to choose high gloss to match the window trim.

I don't find the base trim black to be appealing. High gloss or body color on window/mirror/body trim. Easy call IMO.

Completely agree on the base black.
I’m sure the high gloss black at the front will be a pain to keep clean and could be more fragile… but looking at the picture below, the base black (especially on a light color) feels very underwhelming.

Going gloss black trim on my turbo. Plan to have full PPF and ceramic which will help keep it looking nice and easy to clean.

Something to consider on the Macan 4. The wheel trim and side trim is textured plastic. Turbo wheel trim and side trim is gloss black painted unless you opt for the off-road package then it changes to textured like the Macan 4.

Might be good to keep base black as a nice contrast to the black metallic.
