Roof wrapping

Thinking of getting the roof wrapped black gloss on my mineral gray 330. Appreciate any thoughts and experience with wrapping?

On a more helpful note, sorry btw

Carbon wrap could look good if your rear spoiler is carbon, couldn't see from the pic? Would go for some eBay mirrors then too. I guess most might say stick a little more OEM but I like some of the matt wraps and at least it can come off after?

Cousin had a white M3 with carbon roof and that looked ok-ish, but I think on non-M cars it may look a little like you're trying too hard. Sorry, just my preference.

Carbon parts on dark grey cars can look brilliant.
I agree with the carbon mirrors and spoiler. Just be careful not to overdo it!

I think the black roof is a bit boy racer, but then maybe i'm a bit old school as my missus is getting a brand new Corsa 1.3 diesel and it comes with a black roof from factory!

There's loads of pics of this done in the main picture forums. I like it on white cars. Not sure on other colours.

@Teaston did she get a good deal on the corsa? I'm currently looking at the same for my misses runaround.

Gloss black looks very nice I recently saw one up close on a merc c class (white car). Carbon has more of a chance of looking cheap so make sure the wrap is of good quality. My only question is what would you do about the fin?

Yeah that's a cracking deal. Was looking at a 5 door in atomic grey (I think that's the name). Looks like a lot of car for that monthly. Might be able to get it a little cheaper too as I really only need 6k miles a year on it. The only thing that is putting me off the PCH at the moment is vauxhall have free insurance for a year and 0%. Not sat down and worked out the monthlies on a pcp yet sadly. Broadspeed have about 2600 off atm.

For £131 PM, I think it looks great. Some cheap motoring out there if you look.

Yes, it really pays to have a look around for decent deals.

I know one thing when I eventually retire, (ages to go yet) i will be leasing, what's the point of buying when you can lease and get amazing deals.
