Progress updates of my M6 GC being wrapped

parm · 02-10-2014, 12:57 PM

Hi Guys,

I know this may not be to evryones taste but i decided to have my silverstone II wrapped in matte aluminum blue. I love silverstone II so wanted to stay close to the original colour (wrap is darker) but wanted to see the lines of the car better and provide some protection.

Here's a couple of pics as the car was started today and I'll post update pics as I get them from the detailer.

3rd pic in is a sample of the wrap that my son pealed away from the backing hence the bubbles!! (hoping they wont be on the car!!)

cheers Parm

Ok so Paul at PW Pro is being a bit shady with sending me pics, but here's a picture of the rear quarter and the parking sensors wrapped...more to follow!!

LSM · 02-11-2014, 06:56 PM

That looks white I thought you were going with a blue? Am I blind?

I guess it's like a silver with a blueish hue the OP is going for here.

positiveions · 02-11-2014, 08:30 PM

Wow, that's gonna be interesting.

uhn2000 · 02-11-2014, 09:49 PM

I am also thinking of wrapping - loving my SSII but want to go frozen silver or frozen grey. Will have to see what the options are come summer. Can't wait to see yours.

Twitch Massacre · 02-11-2014, 10:54 PM

OP, if you don't mind me asking, how much does this kind of job usually go for?

Good morning from the UK, it costs approx £2000 as the roof isn't being wrapped (I'd assume more if it was?) Paul at PW Pro is amazing and he's had customers ship cars from Europe to wrap their cars as well as BMW UK using him to re do a couple of frozen F10 M5's.

The colour is blue promise!! And the job should be complete in 4 days, I collect it tomorrow evening

I'll post up comprehensive pics when I get it as Paul wants to surprise me!!

parm · 02-12-2014, 10:12 AM

Quick update, car will be ready Thursday pm and Paul at PW Pro has sent over a couple of pics.
First one is the door coming off for the wrap (insane attension to detail) where you can make out the sill has been wrapped and the second is a test wrap on the rear bumper where you can make out the difference in coulour between siverstone II and the wrap colour

parm · 02-12-2014, 11:50 AM

The finish is looking awesome!!!!!

Laguna Beach · 02-12-2014, 02:27 PM

other than being able to pull it off when you're bored with it why wrap and not paint the car? It doesn't last that long does it? Rock marks, tears, wear etc? Plus doesn't have the shine paint does?

I've double wrapped the bonnet and wings for thickness, I've had a similar wrap on my 911turbo and after thrashing that around the film still looked pretty good (12months). I just had the film replaced on the worn bits. Not to fussed about the shine as the wrap is matt. Honestly this guys work is so good you have to try pretty hard to work out its a wrap.

The main advantage with a wrap is just that you can take it off and that it also protects the paint. Kind of like killing two birds with one stone.
