Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() This car already on sale within 3 months after all that was done to it....kinda strange to me. I wish a potential owner was given a clean unmolested and or unmoded car to consider. With all that has been done to it, some good, and some awe full makes it difficult to consider. I prefer original aesthetics and work done on it frankly is meaningless to the purist. Perhaps there many boy hearted racers who may consider it. I like the original owners philosophy in the way he either keeps cars original or does modifies them with subtle and model specific aesthetically more appealing mods |

I mean the wrap can just be pulled off with no damage to the paint. | |

Regarding wrap being pulled out etc. I am no expert but certain trim parts don't go back the same way once removed without complete replacement. Also when strong adhesives based applicants when needed to be separated, there is no 100% guarantee that paint remains intact every where added to which cleaning and restoring paint with detailing may result in minor paint damage. Not really seen any wrap removing been down so far locally to really be sure it is being done well.

As for certain parts, which are painted like the grille for example, would need to be redone/repainted if the original look is wanted. | |

Hey rMan have you seen any unwrapped (not wrap replacement) car in india?...for that matter witnessed unwrapping process? I believe wrapping itself is fairly new in india. Last edited by canonball : 7th November 2013 at 22:36. |

Red R8 V10 from TN had done red chrome wrapping which was later removed. From what I have heard from a person who has seen the car, there is absolutely no damage to the original paint. |

Even insideman's previous ride - the M3 was wrapped in matte black for a short duration but was removed soon. Last edited by S2!!! : 7th November 2013 at 22:47. |

For example Insidemans M3, as mentioned above, which was done from the same place where the E55 was done up. Have seen the M3 wrapped and post wrap removal too and nothing looked amiss atleast to the naked eye. Know the wrap guy too who did it and the original paints have absolutly no aftereffects due to the adhesives or wraps per se,except, as I mentioned earlier the painted parts which need to be redone ![]() Last edited by ///RMan : 8th November 2013 at 00:24. | |

The original paint is desirable no doubt but if you are bored and wrap your car for a few months, I don't think it affects the value of a car. Just out of curiosity, have you seen any car which had its paintjob spoilt after being unwrapped ? And if so,were the wraps used of a reputed brand/make or Chinese ripoffs ? | |

| ![]() Well this has gone wayy too ![]() And canonball, I dont know what made you think that wrapping cars damages the paint, unless you had your car wrapped/saw a car wrapped, with cheap chinese wraps. It absolutely does no harm to the paint, standing examples being insideman's M3 and even AM's M3 and also as Unknownsatan mentioned, the R8V10. Post wrap a detailing job or even a good wash does its job to get back the paint's sheen. It doesnt damage the paint, and if it did, I am sure we wouldnt have so many supercars wrapped. ![]() |
