C63 Coupe panoramic roof panel

Just wondering if anyone with a C63 Coupe, fitted with a panoramic roof has had the small painted panel at the back of the roof wrapped in gloss black?

If anyone has any pictures I'd be interested to see the results.

Cheers!

Me too was interested to see if it looked any better than the way it does.

I was going to have it done when I had the PPF installed on my coupe, but I let the installer talk me out of it. I still think it would look good, but he said it's almost impossible to keep a gross black wrap looking great and scratch free. I also have a black car which looks great to me (most of the time) and almost perfect to most people who comment on it. I couldn't live with that area not being the same.

If my car wasn't already black, this would have been the first thing on my list.

This is the way the car should have came- looks much better. The side silhouette is much nicer without the hump and has a lower presence from view of the rear.

We have our's wrapped currently, but I'm not entirely happy with the finish as the gloss wrap shows up marks very easily.

Did you have all the trims removed in prep. for the paint?

Wrap was only a temporary fix so I can determine if I like it before painting. Yes, I removed the trim. The roof trim is very easy to take off.

Thanks BLAM.

Looks great! It just makes it seem like one single glass panel, which I agree is how it should look.

My car doesn't arrive for a week or so yet but will be definitely considering this as one of my first jobs.

Car looks so much better with the black panel. That was probably the only element which kept me from considering a light color. Might even do that on my selenite (which is rolling off the ship as we speak). Going slowly crazy waiting.

Black paint used?

Thanks.

Can't you wrap it and then put a clear bra on top of it?
