I think the high gloss optics work on a darker car, not so sure for an Avus.

Cheers. I liked the idea of them when they were wrapped but the execution was poor but I'm over the moon how they turned out. The seats however I'll only be happy with them when the ordeal is done

I wouldn't worry about it, a death threat here or there reminds you that you're still alive.

Its their 4th iteration of black coating so it applies to all black tips from about last year.
So no difference in part numbers.

Coating is a lot more robust, and less prone to pitting than previous versions, but still doesnt last long ;)
