Still waiting on the other visuals, but grey is looking more likely

Shall have visuals on frozen grey later.

Better than expected, or much worse?

Going to do a few more colours including the grey.

Never thought I could detest Sakhir interior. You win !

Damn, why didn't I ever think of Frozen Singapore Grey before. That would look gooooood!

Love the Orange wrap...Love the Sakhir interior.

But not together

bronch · 12-17-2014, 05:41 PM

Does the wrap do anything bad to the paint? Anyway, I agree with the above post and what others have said. The orange and sakhir clash, bad. The 2 colors you chose are just such different statements too. If you're set on the orange perhaps you could just get your whole interior wrapped.

Otherwise, take a look at RPiM5's car that would look pretty good with sakhir interior or almost any other darker blue, grey, black, silver, etc... Ultimately though, it's what floats your boat.

ozbmwnut · 12-17-2014, 11:37 PM

IMHO..........

GRAY........ wins hands-down.................

better than expected, but my expectations were extremely low. Matte Battleship Gray.

darkz · 12-18-2014, 04:55 PM

ever thought about plasti-dip? they are much more durable IMO, and very light as well! since you want matt finish, I think plasti-dip is a much better option, plus the cost should be cheaper as well!

mrainv23 · 12-18-2014, 09:37 PM

Why wrap it? You have in my opinion one of the best combos white on red. Beautiful car!

I agree too... This combo is very nice

M5essex · 12-19-2014, 04:06 AM

I think I know why you are going down the wrap route Mat. I considered this too, before finally selling it. you are bored of the colour and just want a change. imho, the grey would be just another samey colour that you will soon be bored of too.

I like the orange in your photo shopped pics above. with the Carbon spoiler, lip, side decals and Akra/MPE exhaust it contracts so well with the orange. way better that the grey in my view.

you will not be bored of the orange as quickly as the grey.

My vote is therefore to standout and be bold and go for frozen orange

I agree with M5essex. You are probably bored with white. Nothing wrong with that. My car was originally black, I never really got bored with it, but it was a detrimental and almost dangerous color to own where I live now. So those are a couple reasons why I wrapped mine.

I'd go for the Orange too if it'll keep you from being bored with your car.

matx1982 · 12-20-2014, 02:19 PM

Thanks for the replies. I am not bored with white the colour as such (it is my favourite combo with red leather)... my other cars are also white... I jusy fancied a matt finish.

And seeing that wrapping is the best way to achieve that in terms of real world practicality I thought I might try a matt finish on the M5.

Orange would make it stand out. I don't think the interior clashes as badly as some people think but then it is subjective.

Grey looks awesome... but is less unusual I guess.

Got till Feb 10th to decide!

Thanks

Mat

M5essex · 12-22-2014, 04:17 AM

my friend has had his white GTR for a couple of months now and already is bored with the colour.... he has gone all out though and opted for a camo look.

I hated it to begin with but it's grown on me and looks great in person..

Orange for me....something different
