As seen from my point of view, there is too much black with fake grill triangles next to the LED daylights. - 232 |
rear end w/o any modification - 231 |
Part 2: I made a photo shooting at bright sunlight (the result is not fully satisfactory - too much contrast) |
Sorry to tell, but I made by far too many photos from every angle. But as a "crazy" car enthusiast, it is never enough! |

The details of the main grill can be seen quite well. - 181 |

A new star is born with some customized additions
Part 3: A special car needs a special touch to become a one-of-a-kind vehicle |
Special design with car wrapping by iNDi Graphics, Winterthur: www.indi-graphics.ch |
Lots of photos show some design modifications as
compared to the photos above. Sorry to tell, but once again I made by far too many photos from every angle. |
White accents have been added to the 2 side grills as it was by far too much black. - 308 |
Both sides got a medium gray stripe with a red pin stripe from headlight to taillight. - 301 |
309 |
BTW: The gray stripe is the same color as on the wheels (painted parts). - 302 |
303 |
311 |
"Cadillac" name was added just below "XT6" lettering - 313 |
"Cadillac Logo" was mounted on the D-pillar (both sides) and "Cadillac" lettering below "XT6" - 314 |
We broke the rules with the gray stripe as it went over a the edge coming from the rear door handle. But we wanted to follow the rear side window edging going up and ending at the side tail light. Of course, it changes the effect of the gray color, but it is fully acceptable to me. I wanted to connect from headlight to taillight and it looks great. - 315 |
Very well visible is the change of the color at this angle. Anyway, the curved stripe fits the window line. - 316 |
In this picture we can see the whole stripe which is following to the windows line. - 317 |

325 |
326 |
As seen from the side, it is the perfect match from headlight to taillight. - 327 |
337 |
The side stripe is not overloaded but elegant and fits to "the standard of the world" (a Cadillac slogan). - 328 |
330 |
336 |
On this close up picture we can see the perfect match of the window line. - 331 |
We followed the edge line of the fender from the headlight to the rear. - 332 |
333 |
Also here, we can see the matching curved line with the window line ending at the taillight. - 334 |

New wooden foil applied on dashboard - it looks much
better compared to black. To be honest, I made the wrapping of the dahsboard and the upper door panels on my own. It is not 100 % perfect but still looks nice. I wonder how long it may stay the way it is. (black is a terrible color for me) - 345 |

new wooden foil applied on upper door panel (driver's side) - 344 |

Conclusion: To create a special design it is a passion
for me. I do not want to have a car which looks factory stock. I am aware
not everybody likes my own design which I realized on this Cadillac XT6.
Everybody is having a different taste, but for me it is the special touch to
give a "one of a kind" look which is still decent. Even the white accents
added to the front grills are giving a special touch and eliminating some
black along the vertical LED daylights. A special thank you goes to Dani Friedli my car wrapping specialist. He did a fantastic job. |
