NEW NEW (7/25/2019)

I haven't posted pictures of my car on here in a while.. here's the most recent version of it












(April 27th 2018)

(April 6, 2018)

So I got rear ended back in september 2017 (minor accident but the wrap had to come off the back bumper) and i didn't do much to the car after that. But with bimmerfest coming up I decided to have some fun while also promoting my vinyl wrap/ceramic coating shop here in SoCal.

*excuse the pictures.. I don't really know what i'm doing. Going to get some professional photos taken soon







Latest Look:



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Well, I planned on wrapping it immediately but work in the shape of an STI wrap superseded my own car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







Still waiting for wheels... but here are a few pictures of the car cleaned up a bit and dropped

Are you purple or are you blue? Make up your mind





I love this angle.. you get all of the colors at once



And another one of the pup on the car.. either the car is huge or he's small.

Now there's two of you, sort of. I think your gloss wrap looks better though. And the other one is in London (Paul from Supercars of London), so don't worry about bumping in to it on the street.

Neat! I don't mind the satin and matte finishes on these color changing films.. but the gloss really makes each color in the range pop. I think there's a tesla x with the same wrap too. but it's a tesla so...

The original blue/yellow 228 reminds me of Rizla Suzuki livery from British Superbikes and a stint in MotoGP early on.

Most standard wraps run from $2,500 to $3,000 usd. This usually doesn't include full door jambs. So from the outside it will look like a different color but once you open the doors the oem paint would be visible.

If you've seen denso's green/yellow colorshift with a gloss laminate and with full door jamb/door wrap, that would be around the 5k-6k price range.
