Silver was my #1 choice, White was the better half's #1 choice. I lost, but I didn't lose since I get to do all the driving.

Continuing my search for a P GTS. I have sights on a 2016, CPO low mileage but Carfax states rear end damage. Planning on looking at it but on resale I'm the one who has to explain off damage. CPO clears any issues for now I suppose but not for me on resale. Will see what selling dealer says and what it looks like. Any particulars I should look for?

Mine has the GTS decal and I like it.

Either way you end up going, congrats and enjoy!

I'm a noob when it comes to Porsche, I would want documents showing what was repaired so that you would have it for when you eventually sell the car. And take into account diminished value. As long as the price reflects this you should be ok.

Anyone know what these black pieces (just in front of the wheels) are called? I would like to replace them but it's hard to find if you don't know what they are called. Both sides have scratches from careless parking

the parts PDF I have doesn't show them, shows the center piece for your car (970 504 117 09) but not the part just in front of the wheels and they simply call it the under-body trim or under cover

think I found it - could it be this https://www.porscheburlingameparts.c...on-97050412418

or is part of the bumper?

Sand them smooth and cover them in a matt vinyl. That way when you scratch them again you can just replace the vinyl. You will scrape them again. Trust me.

Where's a good source for matt vinyl? Not something that I've ever looked for.

eBay, Amazon

anything 3M brand would be fine. You can try doing it yourself or have someone at a wrap/sign place do it.

I used dry carbon 3m di noc for some bits in mine.

It's a beauty - congratulations! After six months of ownership of my CPO'd 2015 Panamera GTS, I couldn't be more pleased with it. I'm sure you'll feel the same way!

I've loved my first year of the Panamera too. I really don't have any complaints.
