I had my z coupe wrapped in gloss black. I loved it. You just have to make sure it's installed properly so it doesn't peel or bubble. I think it'll look awesome on MG.

Congrats man. it's been a long journey.
Thanks! Yeah it's been about 2 years of following this car daily. Haha.

and I agree, it's not carbon fiber, and like I've said in other threads, I don't care about the carbon fiber prestige. But it would go with the spoiler. But idk. I'm like 95% set on gloss black.

It looks so much better in black than chrome.
But you won't see that when sitting behind the wheel anyways
Check the 4th page!! Got a few m performance parts. One of them being the grills!

As it will be a perfect combo with those carbon parts...
I know, I know, but I've decided not to for now. 5k is just too much for a wrap right now for me. I'm younger than most people on here, and while I landed a good job I don't have the cash to just blow on something that unnecessary. But in the future, who knows. Hell some might say the M2 is unecessary. Well to them I'd say you're wrong

Best OEM prices by far.

I hear you - but for me, the CF roof on the F80 was all about the look - it isn't so much that you are reducing weight or faking it on the M2 or whatever. I just think the contrast (as with the gloss black) looks sick.

The main reason I finally decided on MG instead of BSM is because the rear fenders look bigger on MG. Your car looks awesome Alex!
Did you finally get an order in??? I hope so.
I'm still #2 on the list and firmly on the fence.

Congrats. My AW car just came in today. The truck ruined the front bumper, underneath. So now I have to wait another week. And now I can't x-pel the bumper for months. This blows.

I was still very happy to see the car. $500 bucks off and a free bumper.

Congrats!

But shit, you're scaring me! Mine is getting on a truck Saturday... Should I warn them that it's low? How'd it scratch?

Also what was the shipping company you used?

I would warn them. I assume from a departure angle. Maybe it was loaded with some x3's and they didn't take that into account. It was pretty awful.

WOW wtf that is not cool... Obviously the truck driver didn't follow procedure. Mine get's delivered Thursday. Time to tell the dealer to make sure this doesn't happen.

I think I edited my first response before you responded, what company did you use?

Also cole, would you want to meet up at a car meet sometime? I think there's a nice cars and coffee in Lafayette. I'm south of Denver but we can pick somewhere mid way if you're down. Otherwise I'll probably just run into you.

We probably make up like 50% of the M2's in Denver lol. Would be cool to park them next to each other at a meet.
