Now that the car has the turbine alloys, what are peoples thoughts on putting the Atlas side vents back on?

Make the vents black, the stripes black, and get those wheels painted black as well Thumbs Up Then it will look awesome to me Cool

My advice is exactly the opposite! Laughing

It would look better with the Atlas side vents and painting those style wheels black will really spoil them. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

Dark atlas.

Would be my preference, full job sides front and rear. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

The side vents, in my opinion would look great body coloured but have the chrome strips on the vents. But I would be a bit biased Shocked Shocked

Already got a pair genuine LR Santorini black and also a pair of genuine Atlas silver ones Stan (the car came out of the factory with Atlas ones... changed them to Santorini the other year)... just wondering if should swap back to Atlas now that the wheels are diamond cut turbines...

Nah, not rattle can them. Do a proper job. Before you know it the diamond cut will need another refurbishment anyway, little stone chip, and water underneath the lacquer and they'll drip like a leaking milk float Rolling with laughter But I'm biased and definitely not a fan of shaving metal of a wheel to make it look shiny...

Anyway, back on topic... if using the vents I have already, am I leaving the black ones on... or putting the Atlas silver ones back on? Laughing

Atlas silver....Shiny wheels === shiny bits on the car in my opinion. That will then all tie it back together...
