1er Vinyl Wraps

I wasn't able to find a compilation of wrapped 1ers, so I just created a thread!
If there is, please reply with the link, and mods can close this thread!

I'm also looking for some ideas, and what your preference of vinyl wrap. 3M, Hexis, etc.

Nice... how hard would you say it is to keep the matte vinyl clean? Is it a pain in the rear? I ask because I want to wrap my 1er matte red... or matte chrome red.

Keeping the wrap clean is a lot easier the BMWs jet black paint. I spray the car down every night(if I take it out)with shinning monkey matte vinyl quick detailer, usually takes 10-15 mins. Matte finishes are great because they'll never show a swirl mark which is awesome. I'm lucky I have a garage to help keep the elements off the wrap. If you don't have a garage buy a car cover so your car isn't sitting in the sun getting beat on all day. Always make sure wrap is cool to the touch when detailing it or you'll leave streaks behind. Only color I would stay away from is matte white as that is super hard to keep crystal clear.
