My new Velvet Blue G80

Laoschris · 07-26-2022, 07:31 PM

What's up everyone! So I finally took delivery of my VB G80 a few days ago. I haven't had much seat time in it because as soon as I picked it up, it pretty much went in for PPF and Ceramic. It's currently still in that process, but figured I'd post now and update the thread with pictures later.

I traded in my F90 (which I loved), but wanted to try something new. I was getting "bored" of the M5 in terms of just being human and I like new things. The M5 was a great car, but I will say, I'm quite excited for the G80 platform, especially with the numbers some guys are doing.

If you guys want to follow me on IG, my name on there now is Velvet_G80!

I have some photos of the F90 and the Daytona Violet F80 I traded in for the F90

Cool color, very unique!

Looks really good, and I really like the anniversary emblems on this color. Well done.

Gorgeous color! Congrats.

M4ord · 07-27-2022, 10:22 AM

I have not seen a color with so much range. The purple that shows up under different lighting is wild. Congrats on the car and the amazing color! Safe travels.

Sean@PSI · 07-27-2022, 02:43 PM

Awesome color, looks amazing!

Laoschris · 07-28-2022, 05:08 PM

Just got the car back today, and the paint is looking crispy!
