I voted "neutral" - simply because I love the shape / finish of the car as it is delivered (with a gloss finish). However, this is very lovely.

Could take it if I was buying it 2nd hand, but would never do this to my own car.

Love it as you have taken the pic in the shade. I would like to see what it's like in the bright sun, is it too shiny? If so, a bright shine would lose the lines as you have mentioned and make it very chrome like.

I prefer the gloss wraps myself but . . . WOW . . . that looks great. I love how the color gradient reveals the car's lines. I'd definitely consider this for my V12V (though I'm committed to gloss red metallic for the foreseeable future).

Removal

How difficult is it to remove the wrap? Should you factor in the cost of removal or is this easily done by a rookie?

Removing is quite easy, especially when compared to application.

Normally I'm not a fan of the wraps. But I admit this looks amazing!

Its a plan?

Somehow Karl, I get the feeling you are planning a matte chrome wrap for your soon to be delivered Vantage GT.

Yeah, I really like it but I don't think it's for me, at least not on the GT.

I love it.

I'm a huge fan of matte wraps that don't look like primer. This looks fantastic.

Marketing tool

Seen several bright chrome wraps online, including the Vantage on the hill at AM's Gaydon HQ.

The only one I've seen in the flesh, however, is at the import dealer (Mitsubischi, I think) next to Orlando Aston/Lotus/Jag. They had wrapped the SUV they use to shuffle service customers, etc., around town.

Looked like a good, attention grabbing, marketing tool.
