Car Wrap

jcardenasmzl · 07-13-2016, 08:40 AM

Although I'm not new to the forum I rarely post any threads. I was looking for a BMW M2 but given the ridiculous residuals right now on the M2 and me needing a car I've decided to go for an M235i used. The car is MG, I really like a dark blue kind of azurite blue or black carbon, given those colors are not available I was thinking of wrapping the car with a 3M wrap (Midnight Blue GP272) I saw a short video on the wrap for an M4.

Any advise? Thank you!

You asking advice on a DIY wrap? One word. Don't.

My advice, find a professional to do it.

Take care of that M2 and leave it to the PRO's

A wrap is a cool idea, just leave it to a professional. It's a very tedious and time consuming task.

Now to ignore my advice, anyone think that wrapping the stock diffuser would be pretty straightforward?

Anything smaller, relatively flat and easy to remove from the car is easier. It's also not in a high visibility area or requires a ton of expensive material. Give it a shot, worst case you're out $50 and a few hours of your time.
