Was there a big difference in the cost of the clear and the matte PPF?

And tbf if I ever do want to go matte I can do it later when I’m replacing the ppf if it has problems. I’d rather spend that 1k on an intake or put it towards an exhaust

The odds are you will never have to replace all of the PPF to a matte finish.

Just be careful with these modifications and verify an advance whether they will affect your warranty.

Just an info, on the topic mods/warranty, Yesterday i sent an email to my official dealer/service for the whole country of Croatia, if i only install midpipe on my M4, will it affect the warranty, and today they replied:
"Your mod would be unoriginal equipment on a car, and therefore you would lose warranty on the whole engine /drivetrain part of the vehicle."
I hate those bad news, it means i wont be able to ugrade my exhaust, or I can but i risk a lot if anything gets wrong with the car... Sad
