A friend of mine Stefan, decided to wrap his 1er. He did it one panel at a time. Panel by panel, it took him over 32 hours to finish the entire car. I thought you guys would enjoy this "build". I think it turned out very cool!


What do you guys think?

It is individual, but what I don't understand why he bought the Estoril Blue at extra cost and then wrapped it.

^ I guess the wrap may be seasonal/intermittent plus will protect the paint for a while, and then you still have that sweet blue underneath down the track. Always fun to change it up

It's a sweet colour and a fine job. 'Incredible Hulk' green maybe? Looks great!

Will look even better with the 405 wheels back on?

Nice work, but I think the car looks better in blue than green. Maybe the new colour is simply too flat? I do however like the black roof.

He's done a very good job. I can also understand why as the Estoril Blue has become so popular I can imagine it's nice to have something different.

10 points for the effort and craftsmanship! I have a white F20 and see more and more on the streets so I am also thinking of a color change.

So what to go for? This Ferrari baby blue...? Its does look good in white too though!

Not my color of choice (sometimes that's a good thing?) but definitely A for effort.

Someone please enlighten me... how is this at all special?

Of course wrapping a car is done one panel at a time. This color is hideous

Not keen on the colour, but I'd love to watch someone applying the vinyl wrap, looks fascinating.

I have trouble putting a screen protector on my phone so it's not a job I would want to do!
