    My R8 has finally been tangoed!

    Hi Guys

    I have finally had my car wrapped! Below are some pics taken by the wrapping company. I get the car back on Friday so will take some better pics.







    Black badges will be going on tomorrow and then red brake callipers!

    Best Regards
    Mark

    Looks like a quality job from the pics - looks good with the contrasting black. Like the door handles too - nice touch that.

    Are you thinking about losing the chrome on the grille?

    Wow! Totally transformed the car. I like this better than a matte finish. Looks great!

    Looks awesome, mark. However I don't think red, as much as that is a nice color for calipers, would work well with your "new" car

    Thanks for the comments guys! What color would you say would work better for the callipers then mate? Nothing has been confirmed yet regarding those so plenty of time to change. Having rear taillights smoked as well and having a guy come and cleanup the leather. Cant wait to see the car in person

    I think leaving them black is good, or body color orange matching... red definitely would clash IMO

    Thumbs up Re: My R8 has finally been tangoed!

    Same orange color on calipers should look nice. Will the emblems be applied OVER the film? What was the original color? Is that the makes your mouth water-citrus orange?...!!...

    Thanks man I love my carbon fibre door handles. Having those done and the spoiler being painted black means the rest of the body is easy to wrap so should have nothing pealing off or making the wrap obvious.

    I dont hate the chrome like a lot of members on here but I may ask them to try and wrap it in black if its possible! Good idea!
