Full body PPF - what can't be done

[sergiop]

Hey all


Just had a convo with the installer (Alset auto) and they said they likely cannot cover the rear diffuser at all, concerned about melting

Anyone get full body PPF on a 2025 G80 Base.

Any advise/info would be greatly appreciated!

I had full Xpel PPF on my 23 M340i including diffuser. No problem in 2 years.
Did a full diffuser on my 25 MB CLE53 AMG as well.

Melting how?
I can see PPF melting on tail pipes, but plastic diffuser?

I can see the complex diffuser shape being a PITA to cover with film (nor all that necessary, to be honest), but melting is a pitiful excuse.

That was my thought as well. “This is hard, what excuse can we make up”

They ended up calling me back passing on the job because they didn’t feel comfortable doing it

No worries, plenty of other companies that will do it. Keep shopping around. Wrapping a diffuser isn't challenging, and unless you're spitting flames from those exhaust pipes, it won't melt anything.

I wrapped everything in PPF on the exterior. Every piece

The diffuser absolutely was done with PPF and will not melt. This guy is full of crap and if they cant wrap that I would not hire them anyways.

Find a real installer that is not full of $h!t

Is your diffuser carbon or “stock” (plastic?)?

I have my whole car and rear bumper done and even the place near the exhaust.... it's not melted so far lol. This is with Llumar Platinum and it's like over 6 years old.

Thanks for the encouragement. I finally got it done at Tinterz in Orlando. What a great company and ownership. Loved my experience there. Finally picked it up today.

Its carbon but my other gloss black pieces are PPF'd as well.

it makes no difference PPF is a plastic coating and won't melt.

The installer is not confident in their skills which is why they won't do it.

Any pro will easily wrap your entire car..including headlights and tails.

I have my interior carbon trim getting wrapped in PPF along with my Idrive screen for free.

I've had my G80 nearly two years now with the diffuser wrapped and absolutely zero issues with heat.
