Looking for CLS55 AMG

how does that material hold up in the elements? of course i know the cars here don't really see the elements but is this something that will need to be re-done annually?

This is not gloss, it is the actual DI-NOC wrap there is only one I believe. I can find out exacly which one it is if there is more. The wrap matches really nicely with the spoiler and lip. I'm getting my interior re done in real carbon as we speak so I am only leaving the front grille in the wrap.

Holds up great, when it gets really hot during the summer it wants to come off but if it is done right will stay as long on as you want it to.

Did you get the real carbon complete? How does the look compare to the DI-NOC?

I wrapped my fins. The wrapping was a bit of a pia on the corners. Removing the fins was easy. you can see some pics here:

kamilclk430: how did you do the wrap on the mirrors? Did you have to disassemble them or just trim the material around the led and mirror part?

I wrapped my 4 slat grill. I like the way it turned out but dont know if i would do it again. it was extremely difficult to get the wrap around all those slats and i had to start over a couple of times and wasted quite a bit of material before i got it just right. even at that its still not perfect. The di-noc really doesnt perform well if you have lots of complex curves to try and wrap it around with a single piece.

Are you getting a dry carbon wrap? If so who is doing it? I tried for weeks to find someone that could do it but came up empty so turned to the di-noc stuff instead.

Nice job on the carbon fibre vinyl wraps!

Here is my contribution on a SL500:

This is an AMG SLK55 that was wrapped in Sydney, Australia.
The roof was wrapped in gloss black vinyl.

I can't get over how good the front grille looks. It completely changes the demenor of the car. It's not something that I'm ready to do, but I do like the look...
