a sticker on brand new AMG GTR - to hide something ?

Hello

I just bought a brand new AMG GTR , and yesterday was the first time I wash the car , then I realize there are 2 stickers on both sides with the same mat color of the car !!

My question are those stickers was applied by the manufacturer to hide a scratch or its normal to find them on the AMG GTR ?

Thanks

Those are stone guards. Every car has them there to protect against stones and rocks being slung up from the tires.

If you are going to have the car wrapped with Xcel have the installer remove those pieces and replace them with XCEL. It’s far more durable.

Enjoy your new ride.

At least these stone guards aren't too noticeable on the AMG. The clear stone guards on White 911's have always been a sore spot. After 3 to 5 years, they can really start to yellow and need to be redone. I keep thinking Porsche can do a better job in this area.
