BMW i5 eDrive 40 Frunk
As BMW continues to not offer front trunks (Frunks) for its new electric cars, we are stepping in once again to develop a Frunk for the BMW i5. We will follow the concept of our existing Frunks and strive to provide significant added value with an elegant design. You can expect the usual quality and straightforward installation from us.

Charge Port Flap Typ 2 DC-Port VW-MEB
Due to recurring requests, we have decided to equip vehicles from other manufacturers with charging port covers. The first non-BWM project will be for VW’s MEB platform. We plan to replace the shabby plug with a stylish charging hatch for the DC port. According to the current status, the loading flap fits all VW ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, as well as Skoda ENYAQ and Cupra Born.
