Pictures of my M5 wrapped in "Dark Grey"

Mr_M5Guy · 05-11-2015, 01:23 PM

My M5 was originally Sapphire Black. When clean sapphire black is hard to beat. However i found myself going crazy trying to keep it clean. I was going to have an expensive (to me) glass coating job to help it be easier to clean and keep the paint shining. However, after comparing the cost, I decided to wrap it. I went with a dark gray wrap. i will try and post more pictures later this week.

Please let me know your thoughts.

The first time I saw this color on RS5 I really hated. The same thing when I saw RS7 in this color, but for some reasons on M5 it's beautiful. Those 601 rims make the color appearance even much better. Nice job.

Love this color! The one thing I like about Audi is this grey! I don't know what M6 Coupe is thinking this is the best color I've seen on a RS7

ThisFlyGuy · 05-11-2015, 02:48 PM

perfect color for our M5's- looks great Fred!!

I don't know much about wraps, can they be undone easily or is it expensive to reverse?

Looks good. Looks even better in person. Good to meet you at the GMP open house.

Yeah maybe you are right. I might subjectively hate that color on RS5, RS7. Maybe it's because I don't like Audi at all (except R8 V10+)

that looks fantastic!

My installer charges $400 to remove, wash, and wax the car.

There's always the pissed off wife/gf/fling that's always in the passenger seat when we take these photos. Their cool with it the first time, maybe the second time. But then they get mad, and then I break up with them

LMAO. I Know exactly what you mean

gmfive · 05-11-2015, 07:58 PM

Wow, looking amazing, love the color!

Do you intend to align the look of the black door handles, side mirrors with the silver 601 wheels? Looks like you also wrapped the roof in black. Please definitely post more pictures from different angles.
