Black was getting harder to maintain and polish every time, so i decided to go with red. Wrap is from 3m (hotrod red gloss) which looks reddish orange in certain lights and bright red in sunlight.

I may plastidip wheels to anthracite gray to go with red, but i had taken personal opinions from everyone and they liked the gold. What do you think?

Looks fabulous. I'd leave the wheels gold as they really work with the red. I know you have mentioned this before but remind me what brand of spacers you have and their width pls. Also what suspension mods have u carried out and are u happy with them?

I think I would like it better if the wheels didn't contrast so much. Can you snap a pic of it outside when it looks more red?
The wrap itself looks great

Looks great, very professionally done! I'm curious, do wraps have a "lifespan" (i.e., do they need to be replaced after a certain amount of time)? Does local weather (temperature, humidity, rain etc) play a factor in longevity?

On the wheels, gold looks nice, IMHO anthracite grey would look better with that tangy red exterior! Nice.

Thanks!!! I got rid of the spacers as i got these vorsteiners with offsets +50F and +35R. Running KW V3's and happy with it so far, no issues except a tiny squeaking sound on front passenger side strut due to chassis flex.

Thankyou, it was a pain to take care of the car and now with this wrap, even dings and small paint damage due to rock chips may protect the paint underneath. I got this done in Dubai for USD 2500/- with headlight, foglight and turn signals wrapped with LLumar protection. The 3m ceramic tints costed an additional USD 650/-

I will take some more pics tomorrow, the contrast causes the wrap to look more orange that usual. The anthracite colour wheels will make the car look more red and i may do it next week with plastidip.

Thanks akunob! This wrap has got a 5 year warranty for fading, bubbles etc. Any issues, they will replace the panel where the issue is. Apparently 3m and avery are the best for wraps, i went with 3m because avery did not have colours in stock.

I agree, i am considering anthracite plastidip next week to make the car look more red.

I think these wheels in gold fit real nice with the redish orange of the body. Great combo!
