CF roof wrap opinions?

Looking to see if anyone has done it and if they could post pictures?

I have a 2011 red 135 and I was thinking of getting the roof CF wrapped as well as the side mirrors. Thoughts suggestions pictures? I know its removable if I did it but im not trying to waste the money to find out.

All opinions welcome and encouraged!!!

I took these pics last year at a BMW car show near Würzburg. This car had 3M's DiNoc wrap installed on the roof. It looked pretty good. The installer did get it kind of wavy in a few places. But I think as long as you use a pro you should be ok. I really liked this look!

That looks great! Mine is red so it should stick out pretty good like that. I think it will give it a nice touch, reminds me of the e46 CSL European version since it comes with CF roof.

Next thing I have to figure out is what wrap specifically is best and which to use and whether it should be shiny or flat??

Anyone have suggestions?
