Wrapping.

Sterling silver /Matt Dark grey metallic wrap, bonnet and sides only. Sides to protect from whip lash from hedges whilst driving down narrow English lanes. Bonnet (hood) because it looks good with the benefit of reducing sun glare and stone chips.

This looks good. Reminds me of old Rolls-Royces.
I've been deliberately driving small English byways for a few weeks now. The hedges have been vigorously scratching the doors and roof. You can hardly see it though because of the MM color. Yesterday I was at my place in the woods. There the branches have hit more forcefully on the sides.

Will do, hopefully the back end of next week. I have a loaner at the moment, trucks in for a few issues.
The picture posted doesn't do the truck justice!

looks fine. I will wrap the bonnet and smaller rear door on mine in black as close to the inky black roof colour.

what issues is it in for?

Steering, brakes, engine and gearbox interaction and lots of software issues so awaiting a factory upload next week.

Hi rovie, trucks finally back, pictures as promised.
Note: the addition of the side rails, I'm surprised how much easier access and exiting has become. I only made the investment to keep the wife happy but a an added bonus will be a lot less abrasion damage long term to the seat edges.

Sterling silver, matt dark grey wrap.

Hi unimog 406. Is this the new Daimler off-road vehicle?
Have you sold the Grenadier?

So I received some pictures permitted to share with you by the wrapping company. It seems I can pickup my partially wrapped Grenadier later this afternoon if the wrapper approves it. - She is a detail lover.
Indeed wrapping a Grenadier seems a specific task. The protective elements on door pick up dust.. as well as the lamp covers.. So a wrapping should be done as soon as possible after hand over. - When doing the wrap and the wrap material draws the dust from covers by capillar effect.

My Grenadier was wrapped using a fully gloss /high transparent material - self healing - so mainly protective.
It was not fully wrapped only front and side..

The stickers you see here are review markers and not part of the wrapping. Red A (Lambda) of course in bonnet and rear door

So my Grenadier is with me again.. not being able to drive it ..
another picture from the rear
The place seem to be a mixture between car repair shop, surgical theatre, hairdressers and a photo studio, 3 crystal chandeliers hanging from roof, spots, etc .. this that she can see the effects of wrapping or detecting bubbles and faults.
So side effect is next two weeks on road only, no pressure washer, then Ole need to present himself to the surgeon for review after plastic surgery..
