Mineral Grey M2 with XPEL Stealth

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Happy 4th, everyone! Here is a little teaser of my MG transformed with XPEL Stealth film. I was initially torn about giving up the gorgeous OEM paint look, but I am thrilled with the results. The roof and mirrors are wrapped in 3M carbon vinyl, and I added the front grill surrounds and side markers are from IND, and rear spoiler by RW Carbon. Look for a professional video and photoshoot, and more info, in the sponsors section in a couple of weeks.


I would like to extend a big 'thank you' to Speed & Tech Motoring for making this happen!

Looks great man - I think that wrap makes the paint look better than OEM

Stunning! You must be thrilled, it looks epic.

Am hoping to do the same to mine when it comes. So much better than a gloss finish.

Looking good. However, the orange reflectors must go.

Thanks, guys. I couldn't be happier with the car overall...what a package. I loved my E46 M3 and my E92 M3 to death, but this car is really special. The wrap is icing on the cake.

They will not, unless you want to pay for all of my illegal lighting tickets. I've been down that road before...I'm too old, busy and grown to deal with the associated hassles. I was counting the time until somebody made this comment.

Something must be wrong with me. I can't bring myself to be offended by the orange reflectors on this car.

Beautiful... I really like it.

Regarding the orange reflectors, that's what happens when you drive in VA..

Northern Virginia, even with all its wealth, has no appreciation for the car enthusiast. Careful with that missing front plate..
Good you went stealth!

No, we didn't. Taillights, emblems, door handles, side markers. We were able to wrap and tuck everything else without removing the bumpers.

Exactly. Thanks--trust me, front plate is going on with a Skene mount before when the 30-day tags come off!

My eyes must be deceiving me, the stealth makes it look almost Space Gray...somehow lighter than Mineral Gray? Looks great!

Thanks - it only appears lighter in well-lighted environments. In low light, it is actually darker, like a dark graphite. I prefer it when it's giving off the lighter shades.
