What about matte red or matte white? I'm trying to get two members on here to wrap their cars matte white or red. After that we will get license plates that say "U", "S", and "A" ....and then have a photoshoot to make M3Posters jealous.

I really wanted to do matte LSB or matte mcb. Matte fire orange might be the route, we'll see. Great choice, you beat me to it. I wanted to do it in November prior the winter...

Delivered. Still trying to figure out what wheels to get. I'm really thinking about black GTS wheels.

Looks pretty good but I think serious drivers need alot better suspension set up by the looks of it, then a set of wheels and your golden. Good work on the wrap btw

These are the most important things when vinyl wrapping in my experience: Use a felt squegee Use a heat gun, not a hair dryer Heat up the vinyl to strech but before stretching you'll want to wait 2-3 seconds for it to cool down to avoid discoloration Stretch it slowly Buy extra vinyl in case you mess up. (I was driving around in a half wrapped car during my last wrap because I had to wait for the vinyl to come) And most importantly TAKE YOUR TIME. If you rush, you will get wrinkles in the vinyl. |

I have been considering getting this done to my E90 (same color) so I'm glad someone else went for it first. Now, show your lady some respect, and get her some proper photos.. |

Great choice in color OP... you'll see how much more attention you'll get now (if you haven't already started)... I can't keep people off my car out here... it almost gets annoying at times cuz everyone wants to touch it and leave finger prints P.S. bet you almost cried wrapping the bumpers. Most frustrating part of the process! (considering you did this on your own) P.P.S.... how much did you spend? if you DIY... should have been under a grand...
