I didn't think I'd like this, but the finished product is ..................... well, eye-catching to say the least! The outdoor shots at the end look good, though I'm not fussed on the bonnet strip.

Interesting to see the entire process. As wraps go, it looks to be a very good quality job too (y)

I can't see the pic in work.

I had a look at the orange GTS in Bavarian a couple of weeks ago, so I'm guessing it's along similar lines as that? The GTS was incredible looking in reality, photos don't do the car any justice, it's so menacing looking when you're standing next to it.

I think the GTS is the look he was going for as he's got the black CS wing on the boot lid etc That one in bavarian is a beast, had a good look round it few weeks back!

Generally speaking don't like the E46 above, maybe the bonnet isn't doing it any justice! But as Gaz said have to appreciate the quality of the workmanship with skirts etc off And even door shuts are perfect

Not a fan of the CF vinyl, it never looks right, but the orange looks epic.

The stripe looks terrible but the rest of it looks good, i'd imagine the "paint" finish isnt great though? Looks quite ripply

Impressive it does seem like an E46 trying to be an E92 GTS lookalike, I don't like the black parking sensors and a CSL front end with a clubsport spoiler at the rear is not my cup of tea - surely a CSL boot lid should have been installed....

Agreed on the parking sensors, but I think the CS spoiler actually looks well. The CS spoiler is quite easy to wrap black on its own, perhaps he's felt he would have had to wrap an entire CSL bootlid in black or orange to make it look right, and in either case that may have been too much of that particular colour at the rear.

E46 M3's really are getting messed about with quite a bit these days, not be long to e92's are getting the same treatment!

I actually dont mind the orange one. Wrapping just amazes me, how do they get it so good?! The inside of the door frame there is a perfect example.

I wrapped the chrome grill on the Octavia and the result even embarrassed the rest of my family.

This is why we pay money to those skilled in the art....! Takes a heat gun and a lot of patience, amongst other things.

That orange looks well but I don't like the rest. I'd have an orange E46 M3 complete with it's bright work on silver wheels: absolutely no black roof, bonnet or rear spoiler and no dark window tints!!

hope they paid him to take it rather than him pay them to do it, what an abortion
