My 1M in Candy Grey Metallic!

[uae247]

what was the cost of the foiling?

[Jacko]

Very nice! Would love to get my car done in a flat Black. Very expensive! Cheaper than paint though.

[Rob@StrasseWheels]

Wow that looks good!!

the boxing for the 1M seems less troublesome than for the 650i

You bet we'll meet around here! At least I looking forwards to!

It can be harder to clean since a wrap is not as smooth as real paint, so it can get dirty faster, and you need to be delicate while washing/cleaning/drying it in order not to develop swirls, however this can also be eliminated through polish every 6 months or so.

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.

a good shipping company can do it for you if they know the process of Temporary car import (Tourist). Also your local FIA car club would also clarify the process.

[Brian_VACsales]

Wow that looks amazing. Can it pass for paint in person?

[SoCali E36]

I love the color. It looks amazing. I'm also blown away at the quality of vinyl wrapping those guys do.

[Dackelone]

Stratus650 - Enjoy your ED tour. I look forward to seeing some euro pics of your 1M posted soon.

[almuhairi]

Am concern about opening the car part and replaced it again i had bad experience before with my old car they break the fenders and bumper brackets .


Can you pm me about the cost

[McKenna Performance]

Looks great!

[twerle]

By far this is the best 1 series i ever saw.

[Diver]

I had no idea what was involved in doing a wrap before seeing this set of images. The 1M is a great car, too bad they made so few of them.

[SamS]

Looks great, love the color you picked.

[mpm3]

thats amazing

complete agree... Luckly I got the last 1M in my country I didn't even had the chance to pick the color of it. I wish BMW would have had the mamba green and monte carlo blue as other factory options for the 1M

[CurbBender'90]

Love that color

[fusion01]

With a wrap I'd gain 100's of hours in a year I'd otherwise lose to detailing, but I'll have it no other way. A wrap is a lazy excercise! Think of all the elbow work you can put into making that paint bling. Your call however and it's a very cool colour and shade. Whole package is mindblowing. Be happy.

[fusion01]

How long will that wrap survive in Dubai heat?!

[Jadar]

looks really good

[1230vani]

Very nice looking 1M, now leave it as it is. Nice touch with the hood

[Ivan Ho]

we have never seen such a color before. It is unique. Plus it looks awesome and stunning. It is so special that it is really a "space grey metallic" as if it comes from outer space-)

[yamazaho]

Damn sexy color...
