Arctic Grey X7 with Stealth PPF Wrap
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Has anyone gone down this path? Would love to see some pics - or alternatively a convincing argument that clear PPF is the way to go as AG on its own is amazing... :-) Updated with photos: |

This is the closet thing I can find online. I have my name down for a 2023 X7 and am planning on doing stealth PPF as well.

I'd agree that makes more sense - however there were only 2 x 2022 models left with the bench seat - mineral white and Artic Grey. There next batch coming out for the rest of the year is all 6 seaters which doesn't work for me.

Well, the deed is done, and my 50d is history and now I have a 40d replacement.
Pics below to show the colour. Having seen it in the flesh, the colour is definitely better than I expected. I'm now on the fence regarding the clear vs stealth wrap. As to the car itself, the additional extras of B&W sound system, ventilated massage seats, rear seat entertainment really make a difference. (No wireless charging weirdly, but I can live without that). I'm still going to miss my M50D though, it was a beast. |

Comparing these pics to the earlier ones, here it seems to look more like Artic Grey. Hope I like it when I pick it up. Some photos in sunlight will probably help. Next up I'll be swapping the rear silver strip and the exhaust tips for gloss black. Then (if they ever arrive) will replace the sliver badges with black. |

Now, I'm wondering whether to remove the roof rails and whether I should paint the wheels gloss black?

Dechrome the exhaust tips and rear mid bar, remove the side steps and spray the wheels matt black or gun metal grey.
I love the matt wrap but wonder how it will hold up over time from swirls and scratches. Good job so far though

The wrap is self-healing so any scratches or swirls shouldn't be a problems (famous last words).. |
