Thanks! It's an awesome color and i haven't been able to get the whole range in one picture. I keep missing the bronze/gold hue that it takes on. Here is a raptor wrapped in the same vinyl

Looks great and nice to see an M2 in other than the standard 4 colors... if the wrapping was the plan from day one, why didn't you go with AW and save the $700 for the BSM?

White is more difficult to wrap simply due to high contrast. I installed the wrap myself so either way was fine, but most shops will charge more because the paint of the car is white.

Hi all,

I picked up my BSM M2 on April 26th. I've had it for a little over a week now and I hadn't posted any pictures of it because I had planned on wrapping it. I've been hanging out on 2addicts for 3 years now.. maybe a few of you saw my obnoxious 228 floating around..



Well, I planned on wrapping it immediately but work in the shape of an STI wrap superseded my own car



Fast forward to Thursday, May 4th. I rolled the M2 into the garage and tore it down. Fast forward again to Friday night, May 5th and the car is rolling out in 3M Gloss Flip Deep Space.

Here are a few photos of the car at cars and coffee this morning with my bad cell phone camera.







You can't exactly see the full range of the film due to the overcast we had here this morning but it's an awesome color.

Now for what's next: I'm going to coat the car in ceramicPro to give the film more depth and a bit more protection. After that i'll probably do coilovers and a downpipe. That might be the extent of the mods for a while.

On another note: if any photographers in SoCal want to help me get some nice pictures of the wrap please pm me

Edit: Going to place updated pictures down here somewhere




Then i got lost and took some photos..




Then the group found me and we went for a drive





Then we hit a point in the road were it was a bit too wet/foggy to keep going safely. And chunks of mountain were laying all over the road. But here's a picture of where we decided to turn it around





Great job and well done for being bold on the colour I do agree that the gloss finish really brings these colourflow wrap colours out.
Pity that we have the Atlantic between us it would have made a great photo shoot.

I love your wrap. I saw that color in satin on a Nissan leaf and it was dull and unimpressive imo. Gloss suits it so much more. I'm sure with a bit of Photoshop magic our cars could have an awesome shoot together! Lol

No problem. I wanted white initially but after wrapping a few white cars I would rather pay a bit more for a dark paint then deal with the OCD that comes with a color change on a high contrast color like white.

You didn't list what rear spoiler you're running in the mod list. Also is that a euro front bumper? I'm not seeing the lines for the front reflectors.

my bad! Rear spoiler is made by Dinmann. Front bumper is US spec. I just didn't cut the vinyl out around the front reflectors
