Color and Paint Matching

The element is factory painted in the Arktis Arctic Metallic - A34 shade, characteristic of selected BMW paint configurations. This allows the vehicle owner to reduce or completely omit additional painting work, shortening repair time and lowering costs. The original color also makes it easier to maintain visual consistency with the other body panels.
