My 1M in Candy Grey Metallic!

Vienna///M · 08-18-2012, 03:53 PM

Sweet! The bulge on the hood looks much more pronounced than mine.....is it the fact that my glasses need changing or is it a different hood?

evolution80 · 08-18-2012, 04:03 PM

i believe it is the active e hood - the same MrMetak2you has http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=661547

btw. congrats to the OP - that wrap was very nicely done - cool color!

///BYU · 08-18-2012, 10:21 PM

Awesome job. I love the color and the Active E hood. Nicely done!!

Have fun on your Europe trip. I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures of your 1M in the Alps. :)

frankcos · 08-19-2012, 09:06 AM

Is there a color code for this type of grey? Is it a BMW color?

UNO///M · 08-19-2012, 11:17 AM

And when you think you have seen the most beautiful 1M somebody will surprise me, now that's just gorgeous!

Good question! I'm not sure if FibraFoil created the color without a reference or matched it to an existing color code, however since this is a two layered wrap I think they created the color by themselves. it's not exactly any existing BMW color btw.

Yes it does give a sporty plus look to the front

buckeyegirl · 08-20-2012, 11:04 AM

I think it looks crazy good in the trunk, it seems like there is some depth to the wrap.

I am forming an idea, that when my bsm is all chipped up I'm going for a laguna seca blue wrap.

You should do it BEFORE it gets all chipped up, keep the paint protected while you enjoy the LSB!

Excactly ! the depth is due to the double layered wrap which gives this effect.

totally agree with Metak

If planning on visiting the Alps with your 1M, consider the Davos to Stelvio road. According to Top Gear it's "the greatest driving road in the world".

Hey Artemis, you should join me and Evolution80 (Andreas) for our Stelvio take two - tour. I think we will go sometime in Sept. We don't have any firm dates bc I want to see what everyone else thinks is best time wise. But I know Andreas and me will be going what ever days we decide!

hopefully end of this month, might be around Munich area by beginning of September if the car gets cleared quickly.

evolution80 · 08-23-2012, 02:21 PM

^ cool

if you like - maybe we could arrange a meet/drive

ilikebmxbikes · 08-23-2012, 03:32 PM

looks really good. thanks for the photos and write up.

snowmants · 08-24-2012, 01:36 PM

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. And I love the hood.

buckeyegirl · 08-28-2012, 01:31 PM

ANYONE know who could do this in Denver? A LSB wrap? Also what's the upkeep on a wrap, is it harder to clean. I am just about at my wits end keeping the BSM looking nice.

M_BYEEE · 08-28-2012, 01:39 PM

holy crap thats an awesome color! Love it

MikeinAlexandria · 08-29-2012, 08:13 AM

--------------------------------------------------------

So i guess I wont be updating this thread with pix for a while...

I always wanted to do an ED when getting such a unique car, but my dealer couldn't do it coz he got the 1M very late (Nov) so it was useless to do an ED, so i was determined to do it myself, now

The car is being shipped to Germany for a 3 weeks Euro trip, including a drive in Switzerland and France! I hope i have a chance to meet most of the 1M members in these countries

Temperatures in Dubai are currently around 90-110 F so im not missing the car at all till the end of October when the weather starts to cool down and freshens up !

Tell us about the process of doing this! Cost, insurance, what did you need to do for registration and stuff in the EU? I would love to ship my new Boxster, or maybe the 128i over to Germany and do a three week drive around the alps. The question is if it would be cheaper to use one of my own cars or rent a similar car. Renting a Boxster is very expensive over there, but Imhave no idea how to go about shipping my own car to be used on a temporary basis and then shiping it back.
