well im still stuck between, magno grey, sliver or the WHITE, this is tough choice but my gut tells me silver magno. Im just curious why the silver get so much hurt...

Bolaber

I got white

You have to follow your heart . Go sign on the dotted line for magno silver. I had a CLS in that color and there is a pic of a GTS here and it looks gorgeous.

Anyone know what color this is? this looks like OEM paint job

muhri

No idea - but it does look painted - not wrapped. Perhaps a paint to sample.

What is this Suntec you speak of? Is there a link?

emericr

Suntec is a PPF (paint protection film) that covers the paint.
I am having mine done with a matte version next week.

its one of the first generation magno silvers, probably search for the names or look at cars on ebay

okbarnett

You can put matte clear bra on any paint and it will turn it to a matte color

JSwan724

Many thanks for the link.

Do you have any experience with Xpel or 3M?

Also, what areas would you cover? This will be a teachable moment for me.

Best regards

okbarnett

xpel is better than 3m

I have the entire front end covered in Xpel, along with the rockers and front bottom of the rear quarters. Do it the day the car leaves the dealers lot. My GTS paint got several chips on the front, paint seems quite soft. Xpel is great, but I've never tried any other brand. It looks great.

I've had both numerous times and as I said suntec lays flatter. Do the whole front clip to top of A pillar and under front rockers behind front wheels.

Do you just wash the car and do you end up with a dirt/sun line where the covering stops?

What's the spit ball cost??

Is there something to protect these soft but expensive german glass windshields?

AMG 17GT

Wash as usual. You can't tell car has been done.

Cost me a little over a dime.

okbarnett

you do the whole panel, to the edges , there is no lines

Hi All.....New to the forum....excited to have recently received my vin for a 2018 GTR to arrive in Toronto,Canada end of Sept.


Look forward to sharing some photo's once the beast has landed.

AMG 17GT

Welcome!

Let's see your specs.

AMG Canadian

775- Iridium Silver Metallic
RXC -Performance Rims
6511- Performance Seats with Yellow Stitching
H77- AMG Matte Carbon Trim
Y06- Yellow Seatbelts


Understated ? Yes I guess so; but I like that classic Silver Arrow Spec as I think it's timeless and looks wicked at night!

AMG 17GT

Classic!

AMG Canadian

Thought this might be of interest

Yellow stitching and seatbelts are nice.

Can your order the brake calipers in yellow?

I have the Matte Carbon Trim on interior, very nice.

I also have the Matte Carbon crossbar. Unsure if it's worth $1600 but I bought the GTS off the floor and it's nice to look at when I open the rear hatch.

AMG Canadian

Yes .....in Canada the Yellow Calipers are equipped as standard on all GTR's unless you choose to option the Red Calipers or go to the Carbon Ceramics.
Mine is with Yellow Calipers.....so I think the overall look will be gorgeous!
I didn't spec any carbon outside because I feel like the iridium Silver metallic and the Carbon don't look as nice together as the Piano black Trims against the Iridium do (just my opinion), but I love the matte Carbon interior trims.

surfah

I have never ordered exterior CF trim. It gets beat up without PPF, provides minimal to no functional benefit and since it's on the outside of the car, the driver doesn't appreciate the visual appeal as much as interior CF trim.

The Night Styling package balances well against my Brilliant Blue metallic paint. Might work with Silver too.
