- 2015 Mercedes E-Class Coupe (Prior Design Body Kit, KW V3 Coilovers,
- 2015 VW Scirocco R - (KW V3 Coilovers, many carbon parts, Stage 2+ 380 HP)

Now with an X6M and already ordered the following parts:

- KW Springs;
- Vossen HF-5 wheels: https://vossenwheels.com/wheel/hf-5/
- Akrapovic full titanium exhaust;
- Akrapovic rear carbon diffuser;
- Larte design carbon hood which will be partially wrapped because I don't like the full contrast that will have with the wrap that will be fitted on the car
- Larte design carbon front lip
- Larte design side wheel inserts
- Larte design low spoiler
https://larte-design.com/tuning-kits...m-competition/
- Platinum wrapping film: https://platinum-wrapping-film.de/en...ture-military/
- Custom forged carbon steering wheel which is already on the car

For the moment, tuning mods that don't void the warranty

I am excited for you man. Definitely record a sound clip when you have your AK on. I am debating whether to go AK or FI. AK is slightly more expensive here.

Will post updates as the project goes further. Between Fi and AK it is debatebale. The difference in price is of course the material. Making a titanium exhaust is costly and not very easy. I think both of them give good sound but if you look for premium and to strip some Kg/Lb from your car than titanium should be the way. You can easily hold the whole Akrapovic exhaust system in one hand.

Doesn’t AK require some cutting of the original exhaust to fit? I believe FI is strictly bolt on.

What's the price on the steering wheel can you forward me to where you got it from?

https://www.facebook.com/centruldevolane This guy from Romania. I think there was another user from here that made a steering wheel there. The price depends if you send a replacement and on the type of material used (normal carbon or forged, alcantara, type of leather). Between 2000 and 4000 EUR. Check their facebook page and see what they made already.

For 2021 is completely new exhaust so at the moment don't know if there is the need to cut something. At least for the versions here in EU. Almost made a mistake to buy the 2020 version but they asked me to verify some things underneath the car.

The problem now comes that I need a tool to delete the opf sensors and at the moment I don't think a stable one is available on the market and for the moment will install just the slip on tail pipes. I can do it from the software but the warranty will be lost.

Larte Design hood is here. Also put a picture to see how it looks fitted on a car. Will fit mine when I receive all the other components.

I really like those wheels. It would be crazy awesome if you can actually get it with that much of a concave fitment

Look how 21" look on an X3M of a friend of mine.

[Mr.blue]

Very nice! I can only imagine how good it's going to look on your ride.

A little update. Installed the following:

- Larte carbon hood;
- Larte front carbon lip;
- Akrapovic exhaust without the link pipe, which is still in production for 2021 cars;
- Akrapovic carbon diffuser;
- Vossen HF-5 wheels;
- PWF Matt Future Military wrap

Left just the parts in the middle of the hood without a wrap to showcase the carbon. I was not particularly eager to leave the hood in carbon black because the contrast with the wrap would have been too much. The car would have screamed on the road, and I didn't want that.

Akrapovic Exhaust on the European version without link pipe doesn't do much for the sound. I can't wait for the link pipe to be ready.

Still have to receive the KW springs. The look should be complete after it is lowered.

That front lip is fire

The crazy thing about this wrap is that with different lightning you might think it is another colour.

Great choice, I can say that I have seen many body kits and tuning parts but Larte are quite top-notch and premium made. For example, had bought a hood for my E Class Coupe from PriorDesign and it doesn't even come close to this one from Larte. The attention to detail is exquisite. Even the back of the hood looks perfect.

Did ceramic treatment with Krytex products: https://krytexgroup.com/

Truly amazing how the dirt is falling when the car is washed. Not to mention the bugs that are a pain in the summer just fall easy when washed. Also, there is a hydrophobic coating. When it rains and I go over 60 mph I don't need wipers anymore.

Very sick! Congrats on the beast! Looking forward to a sound clip.
