I like it. But even without the badges it's not a sleeper
You're right it's less of a sleeper now but I've had it over four years and I wasn't able to get over on too many people anymore anyway. It's a small town in that respect .
Just out of curiosity... Any reason why you decided to paint the car instead of just wrap the car?
Is a paint job less expensive than a wrap job or vice versa?
This kind of paint work will cost you much more than a wrap. The wrap is decent if you want a cheaper option . I would not consider wrap if you want a gloss finish . The matte looks good but the gloss wrap material will never give the same look a paint . I did the car myself so it's just materials and time for me . Having a to pay a shop to do what i did would be extremely pricey.

So you painted the jams, and 1/4 panels and wrapped the rest of the outside??
Nice work, It does look like nogaro blue on the B5 S4.
Nice work, but some higher resolution photos would be nice.
No, it's all paint. Like I said ,if your going for a gloss finish, the wrap just isn't good enough for my taste. You can see the pattern of the material . I cut and buffed the car after paint . There is no difference in gloss from where the black paint buts up to the sunroof for example. You will never get that with wrap. Also the gloss wrap material scratches easy . After several times washing the car the wrap shows wear .
The Laguna Seca blue has a bit more of a green tone than mine . The color is French Racing Blue it's a current factory OEM Jaguar color . I'd have to look at the can as I forgot the code . I appreciate all of the compliments guys.
Nice - The black accents are the way to go with that blue, and I agree the color is very similar to the Audi, Nogaro blue. It was the right time to go with the E63 bumper too.
