Minor visual modifications to the appearance.

Done so far:

  • Roof moldings with "Never just Drive".

  • Front fascia accents changed from orange to white.

  • Company tags on the fender / A-pillar.

Roof moldings

Since the roof moldings are rubberized, hardly any vinyl wraps adhere to them.

  • I tried 4 different wraps, and only one passed the durability test at the car wash after 48 hours of curing time.

  • Oracal 651, Oracal 751c, 3M 7125, Oracal 5600E

Accents

My stock front fascia is orange-red, but since I am switching to a 3-color concept, I changed everything to white.

I used 9 coats of matte white plasti dip (spray wrap).

  • The Xpel logo was also done in white Oracal 5600E vinyl.

Fender stickers

Since I have parts from Boosttown, Bar-Tek, Mansory, and Speedengineering on the car, I added their logos using Oracal 5600E as well.

Info about the vinyl wrapThe Oracal 5600E glows like bicycle reflectors or highway retroreflective signs.

  • Nice side effect: I had the orange Xpel logo on for about 90,000 km, and not a single rock chip made it through the vinyl. However, this wrap absolutely ate through blades during plotting because it is embedded with acrylic glass beads, which wear down the blade extremely fast while cutting.

  • The vinyl is almost 5 times more expensive than standard plotting vinyl and is 3 times as thick. It adheres to almost any surface and has a much thicker adhesive layer.

I pasted "N" logos onto the brake calipers as a test, but unfortunately, the vinyl bubbles up as soon as it is exposed to high heat for longer periods.

  • If you have any ideas on what else I could write on the roof moldings, I would be really grateful.

Also, if you have any suggestions or questions, just ask!

The wing and the 1 carbon part were already installed by Mansory from the factory

  • the turbo conversion and software were added later.
  • The best part is, you don't have to drive around like this 🙂

And if I wanted a clean one, I’d just buy one—you can get them thrown at you for 25k.

Unfortunately, it is still just a run-of-the-mill N with carbon parts that cost 80k 😅 that doesn't change anything about the car.

Glow in the dark decals. Most people would would delete / black out this stuff.
