If you want help with the design, let me know. It’s pretty easy to upload and their team will edit shit. Like you could even make it the outline of your car, or a pic of your car.

Edit: I admire you for presenting the tempting fruit of elite Eurotrash like this though. It's a terrible idea, but never change bro.
It's Dan's dream.

I saw that when I was ogling the M5. The miles are too high, but it is otherwise a rare gem for obvious reasons.

It's also a Northeast winter driver. Rusty undercarriage.

I was causally searching a few gts V8 Cayennes. But imo that’s an autotragic vehicle. :wrong:

Funny story about my Touareg (aka neutered Cayenne for the poors)

My wife ordered us and the kids some breakfast sandwiches from good ol' Tim Hortons, aka Timmies, a Canadian iconic fast food coffee place. Anyhoo... She downloaded this Timmies phone app which allows you to place your whole order it, customizations et all, and when you get to the drive-thru screen/speaker, you can just say order for Nicole, or whatever, and they will prepare it once they know you're at the spot. To make the app even more enticing, they have a second drive-thru line just for online/mobile orders. She loves using it, and I must say, that it's pretty quick and efficient.

About the car, right. So, one doe-eyed morning, she placed a mobile order, but when she got to the fast lane, she encountered some unusually high traffic, and had to take a different entry apex, causing her to graze the separating bollard with her rear quarter panel and back passenger size door. The repair was going to be astronomical if run through insurance, so I called around and found Boris. A Russian metal fabrication genius who focused his talents on pulling dents. And since the bollard was plastic enshrouded, no paint was actually peeled off. Boris came highly recommended, so I flexed my work day to suit his schedule, and chilled at and around his shop for the better part of five hours. His place was just far enough out of my way, that I justified my visit by doing some edibles and walking the land, exploring two prominently known music stores, then burned the last of the wait off with "WFH" tasks that I could bill. Boris was unwavering, his attention to the dents were, in my mind, near perfect. He would have disagreed, and when we were done, he charged me $400 and told me to come back for a little more fine tuning for another hour or two. Thank you Boris! I didn't even bother coming back, short of a slant angled mag lamp designed to pick out unevenness in this type of work, the white paint worked well to cover anything the naked eye could ever catch in the wild.

Back to the Cayenne post above. There's a small trim piece atop the rear wheel arch that's shared on the Touareg. I was going to order a new one because the original got scuffed, but after having it priced out (black unpainted, $615), I opted to reused the scuffed piece. Put that in your windpipe and smoke it, :lolol: $615 for a 1" piece or curved plastic fantastic! :gag:

Car replacement parts are insanely expensive and are a vehicle for oems to make money. It is notoriously bad in some … like bmw parts are terrible, as are JLR and surprisingly Toyota
