My weeklong quest for a White Turbo S Cab has not yielded any "perfect" cars just yet. I just started considering the idea of buying another color (the 2 most prevalent colors seem to be black and gray) and wrapping it with white vinyl, which I have seen done on a handful of other exotics.

Just wondering if anyone else has done this, and if you have any feedback. I would especially love to do a satin / matte wrap, but I hear they are a B**CH to take care of.

 

I've seen photos of one around here. Not white, but another wrap.

 

Saw this pop up today:

He's looking for a cabriolet

 

Oops... I was drinking cabernet while searching for cabriolet!

 

Our customers build we recently finished did exactly what you are thinking of doing. Black cap to satin white

You have the same problem I had. I was driving a 2009 turbo cabriolet that I found on the CPO site. Bought it at Paul Miller in New Jersey. I had it shipped back to Chicago. When the new 991 came out I waited a year to make sure all the issues were worked out then I looked for a used turbo s cabriolet with no luck for months. I ended up ordering a new custom turbo s cariolet from the factory with all the stuff I wanted but I lost 20K the first year and another 20K this year. I thought about wrapping a grey or black with the white but I was afraid of not getting what I wantd and spending over 150K. Whenever Im out in my car I get people always wanting to check out my car because of the white with tan inetrior and the fact that it is a turbo s. Good luck on your search!

 

I personally think it's wise to wrap the car anyways (transparent in my case).

The strange and different car care that's necessary with matte paint is probably *at least* whats required for a matte wrap. I don't have the time or appetite for it. That eggshell white V10 plus R8 I've seen maaaaaaay be worth it, but I can't even keep my car clean in the first place. Dirty matte paint probably looks like sh*t.
