It's actually "telegrey". The color is kind of hard to photograph, at least until I can grab my REAL gear.

However, here's some iPhone shots...just got her home!

jinuwin · 04-22-2015, 05:00 PM

azndrunk74 · 04-22-2015, 05:21 PM

Conzyo · 04-22-2015, 06:06 PM

Wow looks amazing
Also specs on the wheels again?
Thanks

BobS · 04-22-2015, 06:43 PM

Haha, no...it's a wrap. The door jams and bay are still Jerez, but is ok. The interior is black, so it all kind of blends.

I wouldn't do a full respray because the paint in only 10k miles old. With Jerez being Jerez, I had to do something to keep me sane in the OCD department. Plus, for resale reasons, I can peel the vinyl if the person wants the original car.

Efini · 04-22-2015, 08:50 PM

i like the new color! lip, diffuser, and suspension would be nice!!!

That makes sense....i agree, you can always go back with a wrap. Looks good man! Jerez would drive me nuts too!

thetastelingers · 04-23-2015, 01:37 PM

Looks better than white! Digging it!

I've got Jerez and a 1000' gravel driveway.
Good thing I am not too bad OCD.
It does suck though.

blast1st · 04-23-2015, 06:30 PM

How much did it cost you on the wrap?!

Raek · 04-24-2015, 11:52 AM

$2200 and it took three days to finish. All little things like mirrors, door handles, gills were removed...really quality job!

PARTS@STBMW · 04-24-2015, 12:34 PM

Fantastic photos! Thanks for sharing!

w0ady · 04-24-2015, 07:31 PM

Nice pics. Cracks me up about the window.

Raek · 04-25-2015, 08:56 AM

One more before suspension and lip! Sorry for the iPhone photos

Flying Ace · 04-25-2015, 09:28 AM

Pretty similar. A bit darker, though. I'm having a really tough time capturing it, haha.

People at the local Cars & Coffee were pretty confused as well

BibleOnTheDash · 04-27-2015, 10:46 PM

Wow this color is awesome! Mind if I ask who did the job?

Sign Factory on Long Island. Good friend is a co-owner and they did my TT a couple of years ago, which is still holding up quite nicely

MRG Race Co · 04-28-2015, 10:51 AM

Looks pretty good for a wrap. The color is hard to capture in photos. I have a similar dificulty with my car. In some conditions it looks very cement colored and other times it looks almost space grey.
