Planning to do the same to my Alpine White G80 when I take delivery in a few months. Do you mind sharing how much it ran you? Thanks!

Did you get it done in the end?
How did it come out? 😊

I really like the way this looks. All of the cars in this thread look great. The paint on all of the lower edges showing wear is a good point/concern but as mentioned could be avoided with PPF.
I had a random thought the other day that I think is somewhat related to this topic.
Has anyone considered painting the grill slats from this body line down (see arrow on attached photo) body color?
I know the grill is a topic that comes with strong opinions. It (amongst other things) was a selling point for me, I really like it. Wanting others thoughts on the idea. I would be tempted to do this if I find someone that is confident they can color match Dravit. The first two places I asked didn’t seem all that confident. 🫤

Yes, someone has done it before, I recall seeing pics. Portimao car, I believe.

Not my cuppa tea.

Dang. I have searched high and low and can’t seem to find any pictures of it…

KevinGS · 11-28-2023, 03:26 PM

I think these all look mahvelous. Well done, all.

emthreepa · 12-03-2023, 07:58 PM

I am having this done to my mint green M4 once it gets here... I think it looks a lot better than the black IMO.
