Wrapped my roof

I wrapped my roof with 3M Scotchprint Series 1080 gloss black. It can be removed using heated steam or a heating pistol without damaging the paint. More info here: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...ts/Series1080/

The quality is good and it looks like real paint from a distance, but when you look at it at a close distance you can see that it is vinyl not real paint. I reckon most people wont notice the difference.

Here's some pictures:

Thanks Yes it's short wheel base. Long wheel base is not very common here in Norway.

Looks good. Did you did it yourself? Now just tint the windows and the roof would look even better.

Man love'in it! your car looks great! From a distance, you would think it's the pano roof. It'll be one of my to do's as well.

Did you have the shark fin wrapped too or was that a replacement? thanks

Like the look of iridium S with black roof, that's why I ordered mine with Panoramic roof... 6 months to go.

I woud tint the back window, or close THE sunblinds.

The best or nothing
Looks like the real glass roof! Very good product from 3M, congrats. Only the wheels are enormous, spoiling the ride I bet $100

Too big. They don't fit the car well, esp. when it's SWB. Just look at the wheel arches.
Nothing personal, I think you are a terrific guy. I just prefer stock parts, they work the best IMO.
I had two W221 (V8 SWB and V8 LWB) and I think the best are 19" maximum ride/comfort/practicality/looks/overall..
Go for 20" AMG they are no rude and the looks is balanced well..

OR

I also think 20" is perfect for S-Class. I would go maximum 21", but otherwise - car sure looks hot!

20" is WAY to tiny...Looks so small to that big car...I do agree thigh that 21" is the most perfect but so rare and hard to find.

Thanks. People have different taste. I also think 20" looks to small on that big car. I'm satisfied with my car with 22", I think it looks quite good irl. But as I said, people's taste are different.

And you loose $100, the wheels are not spoiling the ride, the ride comfort is still very good

What is wrong with the wheels arches and the way they fit the car?
