Hello ALL,
Need some help. Just received a photo of the "flags" on my "G". Showing UK:Germany. This is a NA build. What's up?
Plus the panel to me is very clearly gray and not black. Photo optical illusion?? Photo was taken with an Android phone.
Anyone know what's up ? Have ideas? I've reached out to the sales agent to send more photos. If the exterior parts are not black as advertised - this sale is in serious trouble.
Thank you all!
Cheers!

British company, ergo a British vehicle. German engineering. But built in France, albeit in a former Mercedes factory. QED. :)

Just got confirmation that all the panels are black - the panic is off.
I'm perfectly happy with the flag combination :love:
Thank you for the quick response especially given the time difference!!
Cheers!

The british / german flag is standard. You could option the merican flag in the configurator.

All of the plastics are black, but there is some variation based on the materials & lighting.

Thank you Adam! Confirmation from sales the panel is black - not so sure the Android phones are that great at capturing true color. The "gray" not so great looking.
When order was placed I did order the US flag - that said I'm perfectly happy with flag combo - makes great sense to me Coullabus stated .
For a moment thought I had a build intended for the Continent across the Pond put on the wrong ship ☺️

I ordered the raised air intake to avoid the flags ;)

Oh - did not realize that. I thought they all had the UK/GER flag on the left side. One of these days I'll actually get this thing!

I'm into my 2nd week of ownership and absolutely love this thing. I drove it back to back with my lifted 200 series on Sunday. Such a good combo to have. Normally I get in the 200 and remark how good it is compared to whatever else I was driving. Not this time. I was just as happy, if not more to get back into the Grenadier.
