arktis-grau Brillanteffekt 40i (Arctic Gray)

KLCC · 11-04-2021, 09:32 PM

It starts as just a gloss factory Arctic Gray 40i

Now it has morphed into a winterized frozen Arctic Gray with black grille, carbon m side mirrors (all cosmetic so far)

Soon it will have m performance exhaust, down pipe, air intake and engine tune. I can't wait until that day comes.

I have AG too with extended shadow, etc. and love it. I have been wondering what it would look like with stealth film. More pics?

I had mine wrapped but did clear PPF as I'm now in Seattle...and there is no such thing as a clean car. lol

Congratulations. Did you or had someone paint the black grille?

I got it off from ebay. (https://www.ebay.ca/itm/193311264479...cAAOSwq15eKFJQ) from Latvia. It is much more affordable than dealer and it is genuine.

KLCC this is the product recommended by my detailer to maintain ceramic coating that's applied on top of stealth ppf. i haven't been able to use it yet because my vehicle is being held at the dealer until it passes the high voltage battery tests during the recall.

2021?

Interesting on your experience with tuning with the mild hybrid. Engine is obviously pretty detuned in the X5 compared to some of its variants. But with the electric integration I wonder how well turning will work.
