Was debating on posting pics while in progress or waiting until 100% complete. But since I had some time on my hands, decided to post progress and "nearly finished" pics. Will be wrapped up tomorrow (ya see what I did there?) and picked up Saturday!
I decided on this color shortly after ordering the car back in October. The thread showing the other BMW Performance Center car wrapped in orange made me reconsider a different, unique color, but I decided to stick with the original plan since I love the Lime Rock theme: Can't wait to get her back all done and move on to the next round of mods!

Thanks! I will have the M Performance rear spoiler on once the wrap is done. I haven't bought a lip yet but leaning toward the Mode Carbon one.

Picked her up today and looks great! A couple small touches to be adjusted tomorrow (like some white showing behind the front grilles), so more proper pics to come later
Also added the following since the wrap is on: * M Performance Spoiler * M Performance black side markers * Acexxon rear reflector deletes * IND black grille surrounds More to come soon!

The car looks fantastic! I love the gloss black roof.
1. What's the ballpark cost for a full wrap like this? 2. I don't mean to be that guy, but I noticed some AW sticking out on the rear deflector. Is that spot too hard to wrap? |

Cost varies greatly. Can't quote here as my friend runs the operation and is the foremost place to go in my area

Thanks! I'm loving it. Really want to put it next to a Lime Rock M3 to see how closely they compare. One more for now:

Probably will in the future. I don't mind them since it's all orange right now

Ha ha yep, it's still stock. I have springs to go in but might be a couple weeks. Going to send it to the shop to do the springs, ssk, and exhaust

For whatever reason, the pics aren't showing up for me.
I love orange cars - I bet this looks awesome!

Love threads like this. I've done a bunch of mods myself, although not a wrap (I'm an MG kind of guy), but of all the mods I've done, including a Dinan P2, the best two for daily driving enjoyment are the Evo SSK and the UCP. They completely transform the shifting experience in an M2. Seven thousand miles + in, and everything is tight and notchy still--wonderful stuff.
I've gone back and forth deciding between the Race and the Sport setting on the UCC. For now, I've settled on Sport. Still light, but stiffer than stock, and the pedal feels more progressive. The bump stop is a must, either way, in my opinion...Might go with Race this summer, we'll see... |

Thanks! I love the orange. I second guessed a bit as I really wanted something like TechoViolet (like my last e36). But couldn't find a purple wrap that I liked. Quote:

I have the clutch stop in as well, but do find that my shifts aren't quite as smooth. I may take the height down a bit to see if it helps Not in my immediate plans. I might after a year or two. I'm happy with the car power as is, for now

Wheel wax and 10mm spacers added all around today. Tiny poke on the front, but that will go away soon after I add the springs and camber plates along with alignment
