Hi everyone. I thought I will show you my baby. I bought it a few weeks ago F reg 325i with factory fitted M-tech 2 and LSD :)

Here are some pictures from the day Ive bought....

Was cheap as body paint wasn't in good condition, little spots of rust here and there, nothing major part from driver side wing so I had 2 option take in to bits and repainted what would take some time or wrapped in black matt as Im doing this in spare time.
In plans I have turbo charge this beast so I start wrapping and collect part to reach 400bhp :x

Was expecting your typical rattle can/roller/paint brush matt black job here but looks smart!

How long do these wraps last?

LOL

Wrap as Im buying loads cost me less ten £100 and rest was my and my mate time.
I tried to wrap fast to cover bad paint then do perfect job as in future car will be painted any way and for this summer this wrap is more then I expected.

This carpet is from a F reg like my car but in immaculate condition, got it from my friend for free coz my is full of hols, stains and God know what else LOL

Mirrors and tailgate I might do in carbon or leave it how it is as this is only temporary rust, dents and scratches cover.
