Does anyone know if it is possible swapping out the Rear Bumper plastic diffuser of the Turbo Model with the GTS model ?
I think the GTS look better than the "normal" one from the other models.

i hope so. i wanted to do the same.
They do look to be the exact same fit...and iirc, they said that style of apron will start to come on non GTS models too?

That’s great news but could I just swap the parts myself would they fit ?

I’d be surprised if they don’t fit. I’m not sure how straightforward the swap is though, and as the bumper sensors are disturbed they will need calibrating afterwards.

Asked to my dealer to know:
1) if it's possible without any modification to the sub-frame
2) if it's a DIY operation (I think I already know the answer for this....)
3) cost of the swap
My car is Vulcano Grey so the two accent in the new bumper will be less visible, but the overall look is way better than the stock Macan4 MY2024.

Agreed. The parts are a little over 1k . Not sure if re calibration comes back in to play when swapping the plastic portion only. They have some sensors. Luckily not all over them are on there. But I was told the old license plate holder will not fit to the new version. Not sure about it myself. Just going by the dealer.

My car is also Volcano grey, and the sports design has the colour accents and also the high gloss surround as well, so I think you need that one or it wont match the rest of the high gloss parts on your car

Could you take a photo of the diffuser from the rear? I’ve not seen one with the accent before

Mine is a 4 not a Turbo so I don’t have gloss accents.
