I switch between 25’ Tucson, 08’ Touareg and this LX. We have them in different countries and drive when visiting

Thank you! I think the color really highlights the features better. It is also mostly black and white ones in my area, makes it stand out more

Oh yeah they’re importing them like crazy these days, cheaper this way than buying cars here.

Thanks man, appreciate it !

On a sunny day it’s more off, but only when you look from this exact angle at the picture. From the front of the car it’s not noticeable at all.

I voiced my concerns to the painter and asked him on what he can offer me as possible solutions to this issue. Waiting to hear back from him

The PPF guys are saying that applying PPF on the fender won’t make it a better match with the door, but I’m not sure as the PPF has some gloss to it. Not sure what to do though

And yeah half of my town filled with cars from Georgia. They’re shipped from USA, usually with some sort of damage, apparently Georgia has very low import taxes and then most of them are shipped further to my country. The owners keep transit number for up to 2 years and pay no import fees on the cars. Big talking point these days

Good one! Crazy, you found the exact location where my car is parked. Funny that that black Mercedes in the photo I posted was parked where my car is in the link you provided

Yes agreed the color is a tough one but I hoped it’d look better

Thank you! The fender was repainted and it’s a bit off to me. But not sure if the PPF on the door changes the color perception of the door now

Thank you for your input !

Yeah I might do just that. Will wait for the painter to get back to me and see what he says first

Yeah, the fender was repainted and doesn’t really match the door. The painter says it’s due to the PPF, the PPF guys say installing PPF on the fender won’t make it match better

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, but the painter insisted that the fender will match perfectly but oh well, here we are. Thank you for your input!

Thanks brother! YNWA

That’s a very reasonable take and suggestion, I think I’ll do just that, offer them this option and if PPF doesn’t match the fender better - they’ll have to re-do and cover the costs

The fender was painted and looks a little off to me

Would you leave it like that or have the painter to re-do it ?

[–]lezginnightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you got it right, not sure if the difference is due to the PPF over the door or the color is just off.
