I'm getting wrapped. Which colour????????? Pics????

[shane@mbtech]

As title. I'm getting my car wrapped, but I don't know what colour to go for.


1. Full carbon fibre
2. Matt black
3. Ice White
4. Bright orange
5. Bright green
6. Other options

I'm torn between White or matt black, more pulled to White.

Any pics of all the above colours on the csl?

I've seen a green, an orange, and the White one, any more detailed pics?

[mattCSLnut]

FULL CARBON FIBER !!!:drool:

[s.mac]

matt black :smokin:

[Spokey]

White! :thumbs:

How about matt white, you get the best of both worlds.

[Mark CSL]

This looked good at the ring

[shane@mbtech]

The matt White is very expensive. Twice the price per sheet I was told. White is still pulling me!

[Bealo]

I'm planning on getting matt black this winter :thumbs:

[windy]

Not sure if you're doing the CSL or the M mate, but if it's the CSL... click here (http://www.americancarzone.com/forums/european-cars/14490-rare-alphine-white-m3-csls.html) with a box of tissues by your side...

Even an M looks pretty good white though...

Or how about an M with a CSL bumper...

Think white is great colour for csl full stop

Matt black for some and could be more of last years fashion also.

[SIEN]

Either white or black, either is great.

Is this for the CSL? You not selling up now?

[shane@mbtech]

No! I could not bring myself to sell it. I drove it you see. They are simply awesome and I don't think it is replaceable this side of 70k for me anyway! I'm gonna do either matte black or White 100%. Just need to see some more matte black csl's now!

can any good photoshoppers post a pic of White csl and matte black csl with black csl alloys and carbon vents, grilles and mirrors. Big ask but I've never done Photoshop sopointless even trying! Hmm decisions decisions.

One question is steves White one wrapped or painted. I'd search but I'm on I phone 3g because router is playing up. Bt grrrr !

[glendog74]

Deffo white mate - never tire of looking at those cars in white, the E46 M series really suits it imho.

Matt black is quite cool but i think the novelty would wear off and end up looking a tad chav!

:whistle:

[northernjim]

http://i401.photobucket.com/albums/pp97/shimmylasco/CSL/mattm3.jpg


I do like this one, with all the matching yellow kit on it

great as a track car, maybe a tad over the top for an everyday-er

[SIEN]

Don't think it works in matt black, not enough solid creases to the bodywork. Maybe if you had a vorsteiner bonnet or something. Matte/gloss White is the way to go.

I think Steve had his CSL re sprayed in White :drool: after he removed some of the original SG off at the Ring ... :whistle: Best he answers this question really :hahaha:

[Andyk]

The Matt black looks stunning but it seems everyone is doing that colour....Not sure about carbon fibre though, think that would be a bit naff...Now it's also been done before but the Orange or Green I've seen looks stunning.

Chav.... says the man with pink wheels :gayfight:

TBH i thought the same until i saw a couple of cars in the flesh with the matt black wrap. have a look at this Aston and tell me it looks chavvy.

http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u54/Bealo1/MattblackAston.jpg

[mattCSLnut]

It looks like a Prototype. The Aston Martin shape suits the Matt Black finish, especially with Black wheels... but it screams LOTTERY winner, NEW Money.:whistle:

[shane@mbtech]

My csl is definitely not a daily driver, so the matte black would still look fresh everytime I drive it. I'm now torn. Ahhh. Matte black with carbon mirrors, roof, vents and grilles and rear diffuser with black wheels. Or White with all the above. :banghead:

[mattCSLnut]

How about... Carbon Fibre front bumper, bonnet (to match the roof) boot lid and rear bumper :drool:. Leave the rest SG and get the wheels painted Anthracite. :thumbs:

[phat///M3]

I say go for white, as I think the matt black isnt the perfect match or the e46 shape.

[Bealo]

I say go for white as we don't want to many matt black CSL's around now do we ;)

LOL, i can't wait to find out what you've chosen :whistle:

Seriously if you do go for Matt Black i can't wait to see the pictures of it..

I did have another colour in mind but it's a bit out there but i think a CSL with the black bits and wheels we have would look top drawer....

BMW Santorini Blue.... it's like a pastel bluey purple, never seen it in the flesh but have seen it on a couple of E30 M3's in mags and it looked :smt055

[danr55]

out of those choices, definitely white for me!

Whats a wrapped car like for cleaning etc?

What you want is white. No more needs to be said.:thumbs:

Ive been looking now all morning, think matte black is edging it for me.

The white looks stunning, but im drawn towards matte black at the minute. Ill run with that for 12months then try the white next year I think. :smt055

I always wanted to get an art car design done. Obviously the artwork cost will be huge compared to a plain vinyl.

Wrapped my NSX in satin black, because it doesn't mark quite as easily as matt. Although, i'm not sure how much is in it because it marks with the slightest touch! Alcohol cleans it...

Here she is fresh...(done by racoon btw).

Kind of agree there with Andy. I see all these cars a little lowered, or with brightly coloured wheels, carbon trinkets etc. Then i see a completely standard CSL and am more impressed by its 'purity.' In an ideal i'd have one for keeps, and one for play!

It is a '95 3.0 with the '02 facelift body and NSX-R lights, spoilers etc. Currently the engine is pretty much stock but has had a rebuild (circa 320bhp). The electronics cost more than the car itself, but that's because over winter its getting 450bhp and a Hewland 'box:thumbs:

Think the police might have something to say about the lights;)

I have decided on a colour now, but it will not be 100% plain, may throw in a personal touch here and there;)

[bromers]

Porsche cobalt blue, dark wheels. Really tempted to have it done - do you know someone locally who can do it for a decent price ? Any issues with insurance / dvla ?

Are you sure you dont have to mention it to the insurance atleast?

Also will be funny when the police run a check on your car whilst following you and it comes up as silver or grey and its matt black or white.

My Strad was covered in some new stuff, its film, but painted with real paint (it smells like fresh paint) It can be detailed, cut back, mopped to a high shine just like proper paint, and there are some unreal finishes, metalflake, pearlescants etc etc Its called Paintfilm, my car was the first car in the UK to be done, if you speak to Tom there and mention my name, he might do you a good deal being one of the first cars. The colours are definately in another league.

My car is ultraflake ice white with a carbon stripe. In anything other that direct bright light its a flat, very crisp white, in sunlight, it sparkles and shimmers, it looks awesome.The wheels were done black chrome by Sportscar Protection and set the white off a treat.. TBH I have been ripped relentlessly by the Ferrari community for doing it, ruining the originality, but at the end of the day its reversible, so I see no problem at all, in fact, I may be going bright yellow soon :thumbs:

I had some genuine NSX-R seats for sale last year ... posted them up on NSXPRIME and within a day I had over 80 messages of people wanting to buy it - full set with rails !! Ended up shipping them over to Canada to a fella with a NA2 3.2 (Orange of all colours haha ... )

Sounds like it'll be a beast - PLEASE post up some photos and even videos of it if you can when it's all done!!

Dont do yellow, its absolutley stunning the way you have it right now, if you change it go for something different that you dont see many 360's in, yellow is too common IMHO.

That might be so, but there are plenty of yellow 360's, I would just go outside of what is available normally, how about orange, green or battle ship grey? Now that will get the Ferrari community going :thumbs:

Id stick with white though :smokin:

[Hazy]

How much approx for a plain wrap??

not a clue mate, it will be more than a vinyl wrap, but having said that its FAR superior and more resilient than a vinyl wrap, he wrapped my Rarri and told me to "try to destroy it", after two runs across Europe with other supercars, no normal protection film on it, the wrap was hardly touched, very impressive. Give Tom a bell tell him I sent you mate:thumbs:
