Just had my E85 Roadie wrapped

From Carbon Schwarz to 3M Satin Bitter Yellow. The wrap was done by a company just down the road to me in Newbury KJWraps.co.uk, took him 5 days. The interior I swapped myself with the interior from a PY 3.0si which the engine went pop on. Came with the 2 yellow/black Sport heated/electric/memory seats, door cards and leather two tone dash panels. Also had the nasty brushed ally centre console panel and door handle covers wrapped in satin black.

It's a marmite colour for sure, and it's different shade in different lighting conditions. The pics don't do it proper justice.

Looks awesome!

Did you post these on insta a few days ago?

Yeah, been posting them on Insta as well. Just catching up posting it around other places now - works been mad recently. I know there has been some chat on here recently about wrapping so thought a real life example would go down well!

Oh wow that looks fantastic! Great job. I've been toying with getting mine wrapped too! A braver man than I and it looks excellent!

Do like! How much did that end up costing and what else was involved? New v5 with colour change? What did you declare to insurance?

Whilst not required, the DVLA recommend getting the log book changed. Certainly a lot easier than trying to explain to a policeman when he pulls over what should be a black Z4. I've also let my insurance company know, don't know how much it's loaded my policy as I added an induction kit and changed the reg number on the same phone call.

All I had to do was give them a clean car, and they thoroughly wash each panel before wrapping. Door mirrors were the worst bit, and had to be done in sections due to the tight angles.

As for cost, pricing varies. I'd budget up to £1500 depending on the quality of the wrap manufacturer.

That looks incredible

I have the same seats and doorcards in my garage, keep meaning to advertise them for sale on here. They make the interior look really nice.

The yellow/black don't seem to sell. At the time I was looking for literally any other colour to replace the Dream Red ones there were two sets of yellow/black available and nothing else. One set was on it's second 30 day listing, but the set I got edged it because of the leather dash panels for the same price.
