I've noticed that all the pictures I've seen of Macan EVs have what appears to be smooth side cladding. However, ours is textured (see pics). I believe this is related to offroad 21" wheels, black roof rails, and offroad front facia. Anyone else got these textured sides?

There is an option to get this either in gloss black or carbon fibre.

@Awaz So likely we just have ye Olde standard side blades then. Looks fine with adventurine and offroad bits though.

I believe the default side blade for non-Turbos has the textured pattern in gray like shown in your picture.

If you choose high gloss black, carbon fiber, or exterior color side blades there should be no texture (same for Turbonite on the Turbo).

@driege Well I like dirt in my music and texture on just about everything, so guess it worked out ok. Hope your fall is going super.
