Ice White wrapped CSL

[shane@mbtech]

My car is complete, and all I can say is wow, it looks stunning. Carbon and black sets off the white so well.:smt055

Heres a few pics I took this morning of her all finished:thumbs:


The pics do not do it justice

not for me but what do I know, I would go for orange :whistle:

Looks like a really good finish :thumbs:

[bromers]

Nice.

Funnily enough just been past yours and was wondering if it was ready, had just been out to go and see a guy about getting mine wrapped too - thinking I might go for Orange.

Mirrors look good - is it the same weave as the roof.

The inner " CHAV " says I like the C.F. finish to the mirrors. Would look V.Cool :thumbs: on a SG CSL :whistle: For the White to look great you'll need better weather and not the Northern Pish :hahaha: U currently experiencing. Interesting but not for me (at the moment) as I still like Silver Grey:thumbs:. This time next year, who knows :whistle:

Not quite the same weave but still look good,

I was thinking orange tbh, but went for white, orange next year me thinks.

Who were you seeing for the wrap?

[TMAQ]

looks really good, like the carbon fiber detail and the colour.

I would not have contemplated a wrap but that raf trackday meant stonechip city, so... respray front end or wrap complete car. No brainer for me. I'm chuffed with it tbh, not to everyones tastes, but I love it.

Yeap, agreed. That's what it's all about. Individuality rules :thumbs: as long as U're happy, it's win win :thumbs: I'm thinking of Carbon Fibre wrapping my bonnet, boot lid & mirrors to match the roof, front splitters, kidney grills and the rear diffuser when I've collected enough stone chip on my bonnet :hahaha: Do U think C.F.ing the whole car would be too much ?

[3wheels3]

Looks ace and makes you think it could have been the other colour to SG

[s.mac]

not to everyones tastes, but I love it

enough said :thumbs:

[_Nathan_]

Just buy a carbon bonnet, boot lid & mirrors as they are available then you have the real thing? I can kind off see the attraction in wrapping if the parts aren't easy to get hold of though.

In fact, I might get a wood veneer wrap on my bonnet :D

[_Nathan_]

PS. Car looks good.

[SpineOnABap]

It's allwhite is that :thumbs:

[derek]

Car looks great Shane !!!!! :thumbs::thumbs:

I bet those real CF bits cost a small fortune. Got a link to the web site selling some ? Wood veneer bonnet wrap sounds LORVELY :hahaha: Pine or Teak ? :whistle:

I'm glad I was sitting on a comfy sofa when I logged on to have a look at these real CF mirrors :shock: Don't get me wrong, they're very nice but, Fook !!! me £1200 !!! I thought that price was a typo :hahaha: I reckon U can get the whole CSL wrapped in CF for that. :whistle:

[Lee13]

Who wrapped the car and what sort of money was it if you dont mind me asking? It looks well in white I must admit!:thumbs:

[phat///M3]

Looks great, love white, but I think you should get some real CF mirrors and door handles as this doesnt quite match for me.

[shane@mbtech]

Im not arsed about the matching carbon tbh, they look good enough in the flesh for me:thumbs: but I get your point, its a track slag now, cage and seats going in in next few weeks, so not a show and shine. As I stated earlier the front was stone chip city so thought Id get it wrapped rather than paint it, glad I did now, just came home and pulled down the drive, lit up in the headlights it looked sweet as, it will change colour next year no doubt.

Thanks for the views guys, good or bad all opinions welcome:beer:



Wrap costs are £1000 for straight colour with no carbon additions, I am going to start advertising these costs on my website, when the new one is up and running. We will be offering wrap services.

There are a few different types of carbon, the carbon on my mirrors is very expensive, you can physically feel the weave in it, a full wrap in this would be very, very expensive. There is a cheaper option of carbon but it is not as good.

Mattcsl........... carbon boot, bonnet would be about £400-500 ish due to cost of the vinyl we get, cheaper carbon would be £250

[azrael]

Looks like an escort now :hahaha:

Only joking love it. I'd like to go for a wrap in cream colour

[shane@mbtech]

Me too, that was my train of thought and it has come out in the flesh better than expected:thumbs:

[Paul Eggleton]

Love it. Really like the contrast esp with the wheels.

YOu've got me thinking now as I'm planning a front end respray in the new year when a small dent gets fixed. Hmmmmmmmmnn.

[shimmy]

No I think the stripe is ott, :blalalala:

Gave me a little bit of inspiration, just loving the clean white look at the moment, ordering a merc very soon and the misses wants it in white, even more so now after seeing the csl.

I might try a subtle stripe somewhere, going to photoshop a few ideas.

BTW my csl will never look as good as your cs, it looks the absolute dogs danglies in the white, makes the red seem plain:supz:

your car looks fantastic in white mate, and i bet it looks even better on the road. When i first got the pic's of Adams cs i thought it looked good, but when i saw it on the road it looked unreal!!

[Rags]

That looks nice!

:thumbs:Those lights I sold you look mint!

Cheers Mark, it does look better in the flesh, everyone who looks at it, is baffled and cant quite understand how its done.

[spanner]

Looks great- I may be coming to see you in the new year!

Cheers

[MichCSL]

Very nice look and great choice

[Forelli]

Very nice! You are giving me ideas, but I'm thinking matte white instead (and its and M3 not CSL) I have a fair mount of stonechips in the front, and was thinking of painting the front end but maybe a wrap instead. Do you have any ideas how the rockchips will show thru the wrap? yes, no, alittle? Also do you know if unpainted panels (thinking of getting some CSL goodies)can be wrapped?

Stone chips dont show through, and yes you can wrap bare panels:thumbs:

Thank you! Nice, this is getting more and more tempting!

[englebert]

Love it in white. I personally think the vinyl carbon bits and poorly spaced numberplate cheapens the overall look though. I think it takes a way part of the exclusivity of a CSL, i'd expect those bits to be a £10k M3 featured in modified car mag.
