I thought that it was time to refresh my Midnight PP so I had it detailed, ceramic coated and de-chromed. All black gloss was polished to remove scratches and exterior paint had a correction to bring it back to showroom (or maybe better?). After 2 years it feels like a new car 👍🏽 Let me know what you think.

Work undertaken by Richard at Refined Detail in Henfield, Sussex, UK.

It subtle but definitely brings the look a little bit modern imo, I think it will age better as the facelifts and MY24 become more common

I've done the dechrome too, and now that I've had my black winter wheels on the last few months, I've really liked how the full dechrome looks. Saw someone powder-coated their performance rims black as well on here... thinking about doing that to keep this look year-round.

Seems like I'm on the same schedule with @Arjo. My 27-month-old P*2 just got a fresh detail as well!

Very pretty! I did all the dechrome; PPF; and ceramic coating the day I got the car 5 months ago. But I like all the work they've done on the black body parts. The one thing I noticed that you didn't do was wrap the console. I had it wrapped with matte black so it matches the interior and doesn't get finger prints etc.

Gorgeous! Now I’m thinking about de-chroming! Has anyone done anything interesting with the 20'' 5-V Spoke Black Silver Alloy Wheels?

Sold them and put a different open black spike wheel.

Mine has so much orange peel in the finish that it almost looks like hammered armor.
The shine and blackout on yours looks great!

Where did you get your replacement wheels?
