I've noticed that all the pictures I've seen of Macan EVs have what appears to be smooth side cladding. However, ours is textured (see pics). I believe this is related to offroad 21" wheels, black roof rails, and offroad front facia. Anyone else got these textured sides?

I got the standard blades you show here but found they collected dirt and were hard to keep clean also I was not a big fan of the look so I got new ones. They came unpainted and I had them wrapped in carbon fiber. You really cannot tell the carbon fiber wrap from real carbon fiber with the product I got. Then I had lettering applied. I think it is an improvement. Nice and smooth now so easy to clean. The lettering is dolomite Silver so it does match the car even though the picture below shows it almost white. In person, it matches.

Nice! I would be tempted to go a bit out of bounds if I added writing on mine. Our car gets nasty no matter what as we live on a rural dirt road. Kind of ok with the side at this point especially with off road wheels and fascia. .

I will put clear PPF over the lettering so that it does not get battered by the elements (peel or collect dirt on the letter edges). The vinyl lettering is pretty sturdy but given its location on the lower part of the door, I will still cover them up.
