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!

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
322

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 dashboard and upper door panel - 343
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.
