PlastiDiped front mesh on our Cali D3
We plastidiped the center mesh matt black on my Lady's LA D3 (D4 2014-16 Grille.) We like it better like this. This D3 SE V8 is stock, but for the clear side markers and the Grille. Wheels are 18" 10 spoke. Also Bonatti Grey. Will replace the Rover hood decal next time we are in Cali.

Since we had the Black/Silver & Grey mesh (2014-2016) grille. The grey mesh is not smooth, but a textured plastic.
Here it is after the grey mesh was plastidiped. Once I sprayed the plastidip the textured mesh surface feels like a velvet fabric, kind of odd. I applied about 5 coats maybe too much, 4 might be fine. Wear something over your nose and mouth the spray is awful.
LA D3 with plasitdiped mesh. We are not doing the De-tango on this D3 since we like how it looks with the grille now that the mesh is black also.
My NYC D3 has the Black/Silver/Black grille that came painted from powerful UK. And De-Tango headlights

Thats crazy!
The item itself is extortionate for what it is but it's the only set that is exactly what I want!

Again, if the right flight comes up, I will let you know so that you have enough time to order it so I can receive it in NY and carry it with me to London.
I will touch base with you when I find the flight.
