G05 Black grill
That's not made by BMW so the grill could've been painted by them. a shop or IND. BMW hasn't released the black one yet

Definitely air suspension; look how low it is. Unless they dropped some new springs in that's not the stock ride height.

I didn't look that closely but could tell it wasn't stock steel springs therefore air or lowered

I asked a body shop to paint it and that's what he suggested cause he'll have to sand away the chrome to apply the paint. What is wrong with the factories in China, they usually have a selection of new iPhone cases for sale before the new iPhones are even released. They're really slacking on this one.

The biggest challenge with the G05 grill is that majority of it is chrome. That makes it hard for paint to adhere to and doesn't chip or crack off. I tried the spray paint route, and it didn't turn out well. I then had a local shop paint it but they had to strip everything down and re-sand all the chrome pieces. It still doesn't look 100%, but it's pretty good, good enough for me. And just give the Chinese market a few months. They'll soon flood ebay with painted aftermarket grills for the g05. |

My painter guy said the same thing about the process. I watched a vid about the glossifier sprayed on top of the plastidip and the glossifier makes the plastidip very hard and not rubbery anymore and very difficult to remove afterwards leaving tiny bits of plastidip behind. And ya it doesn't really look that glossy either. It would need something like a few layers of clear coat. I'm thinking of covering it with electric tape until aftermarket ones come out. Can you post some close up pics if your grill. Thanks. |

Also, my opinion of plastidip is that it is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist - just either do it right and paint something or don't.
