I like these. Maybe not with so much chrome though, is that an option?

These were nice too, and now they’re gone...

Thats relatively little chrome... wanna see a mess of chrome? please do direct yourself to the Jeep grand cherokee summit.

Its a fantastic looking car, if I remember well, german cars tend to have long options lists that contain within them the “black appearence package” that replaces some of the crome with really dark plastic or shiny black chrome.


Dem Germans and their schenanigans....

Don’t think it was an option. My E92 has “shadowline” window trim (just a nice gloss black) and I love it. My W204 has a pano roof (so the whole roof is black) and on the red car it looks great. But the chrome window trim just doesn’t do it for me. Might take it to a shop and get it wrapped.

Yup, just found the “Night package” in the build options. Certainly cleans it up a bit, would look killer on the red one above but I’m partial to red/black.

The grill on that Jeep is...something.

I think this is the pano roof as well. Didn’t have a chance to stop and oogle. Definitely agree about the black on red and window trim!

Everyone is partial to red and black. But sometimes chrome looks good, like on the S65 coupe, I like that mess of chrome up front!

Some say there’s so much chrome on that jeep that if taken off, it would yield a weight saving of 2.25 SMU

SMU=Sergio Marcheronee Units , not that these are recognized by the scientific community because SMUs always want to merge into other units.

SMUs, that’s brilliant. Oppo units of measurement. My next car can’t be red, I’ve already have two. But damn they look so good.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > BeaterGT 01/31/2018 at 19:48

I much prefer the AMG. If only for the looks. The performance is just a bonus

I really liked the blue for the Kia but I was shamed into painting it black by my friends and family.

I like the black colour but I also find it boring and a pain in the ass to keep clean, if I could find some a wrap that can emulate BMW’s San Marino Blue or Mondstein metallic i’d give it a serious thought.

Most MBs have the “night package” now which changes some of the chrome to black. Don’t know if that specific one does.

Yep, best solution now is to wrap your chrome.

I say go for it. I think it would only help protect the underlying paint. The paint on my Z is shot so I’ll probably wrap it, haven’t decided on what color yet.

Oh me too. That’s a beautiful example.

I suspect its very expensive.

But I still ought to ask...

I haven’t reached out to any shops yet, but it doesn’t hurt to ask!

The professionals here in Mexico are NCA wraps, they win awards all the time and I have seen some of their cars and they look great!

But its probably a 30 or 50,000 peso job for what is basically (specially to me because deep down I only care about the interior) a small complaint.

I’d do it, but only if I have more than enough cash to do it properly (doubtful)

This is a “luxury” trim car so likely doesn’t have the night package.

I’m not the biggest fan of chrome on cars. I replaced the kidney grills on my 335i as that was the only piece of chrome on the car. I think I may have to spend some of the tax return getting the Benz dechromed now haha.
