hey guys got the car back!
unfortunatelt 3m dont make the di noc carbon fibre in rolls bigger than 1.2 metres so i couldnt do the bonnet in a whole spread so at the moment it has a v shape until i get the new vinyl!

very very happy with the quality of finish on it and have no regrets!










will get interior pics to show the blending etc soon!
looks pearl during the day but overcast it looks metallic then night time it looks matt!
very chuffed!

I agree. I wouldn't use the word rice though. Thrown around too much now a days.

I would have wrapped the door handles and side mirror. Also, I would have wrapped the rear bumper part as well since its a luxury model with no diffuser as well as the front bumper.

That's my opinion though. Whatever floats your boat

I'm looking forward to when you finish wrapping the hood. Are you going to keep the front bumper black?

i've thought about doing this myself, but don't know if i can get myself to make the commitment...about how long did you spend doing this and did you have help or go about it yourself?

the blue m5 is my mates it was pure black and we thought we would try out plastidipping!! worked a treat and easy to do all for £200!!
the black satin 5 series was originally silver done at the local wrap company...
i did not wrap my own car it was a local advertising firm

if you have the AMG grill, you should definitely get rid of the hood ornament and get the flat badge.
