Nardo Grey 135i

Hey guys,

Currently in progress of getting my 135i vinyl wrapped in Nardo Grey.
Just wanted to post some pics for those that are wondering about what it would look like.

My buddy at Midnight Tint & Vinyl is doing the wrap for me.

Looks great!!! That one of my favorite colors as of the moment.

So there's no need for soapy water solution when wrapping the car?

Thanks! Mine as well.

So far, he's been doing pretty well. I don't entirely know his style, but I've been coming by on some days to lend a helping hand

Yeah, due to the lighting, it's a little tough to really see how it is, but on some pictures where you see the light really shine on it, you can easily see the grey.

Made some more progress today, wrapping driver's side rear quarter, hopefully going to finish up driver's side, front bumper, and rear tonight?

Haha, thanks!

Going back tonight after work to get more progress done.

Should we wrap the door handles? Or leave them Jet Black?...

Just have to finish up the rear bumper, tailgate, rocker panels, front bumper and then we just lego it back together!

I can't wait to drive the car again...Been stuck with a B8 A4, and I'm longing for the N54 again...

I've been looking to wrap my E92 M3 in Nardo, did you go with the Avery SW 900 Gloss Dark Gray?

Can't wait to see it! Sounds funny enough but that grey they put on Scions now is awesome... it looks sort of like that.

Haha, I saw a couple Scions with them, kind of got a little bit jealous, but it's still a Scion in the end.







Nearly complete!! Thanks for the positive feedback! Going back tonight to help with the rear bumper, and hopefully mounting the front on.

The door handles are wrapped already, as well as the mirror covers. Just need to piece it all back together, and get some photos!

We are expecting it to be complete today!! It's starting to come together. I'm super excited to see how the car is going to look with the new color.

carbon fiber diffuser, remus axleback coming soon (when I can re-coupe from spending so much money)




Chad from Midnight Tint and Vinyl doing some great work. He's a perfectionist for sure...rewrapped a few panels he was not satisfied with.

She's 95% done.... We ended up getting a bit distracted...and slowed down progress significantly

But she'll be 100% tonight!

Sorry for the wait guys. A friend of mine took photos, was just waiting for the finished result. Here they are! I'm very pleased with the overall outcome. The wrap is looking perfect, and looking like a paint job.
