Need opinions on which colour to wrap my R8!!!!

[R8 geeza]

Hey guys.

New member and my first post so i thought i'd start by asking peoples opinions on car wraps.

I've got my audi r8 but i now want to change the colour but im not too sure on what to get. I was thinking gloss pearlescent white or matt black or dark matt grey.

I would be grateful if anyone had any suggestions on colours as i want to get this done soon.

below is the current pic of the r8 as it is in red!

Cheers Guys

Isn't the pic of a TT? /confused.

Im pretty sure it's an r8 unless i've been mistaken and been driving it around for the past 8 months thinking its a r8 lol.

As for the wraps and paintwork i can get a 4 year guarantee on there so im sure the paintwork will be ok as its not been resprayed or anything. Also the wrap will look after the paintwork if i ever do decide to take it off.

Definately thinking bout getting black wheels tho.

Thinking of making it similar to the anderson germany V10 racing addition

I'd go for white.

How much does it cost to get a car wrapped?

The guys that im looking to get the wrap done from told me for 4 year guarantee on r8 i was looking about £1100 upwards depending on choice of vinyl.

Thought it was good price as not many companies offer 4 year guarantee.

How far upwards is "£1100 upwards"?

And have you seen examples of their finished products for a £1100 wrap, a £2000 wrap, etc?

That might sway my decision in your shoes. No point in having it the colour you like if the end result looks like an Arfur Daley special.

I'm never that bothered about colour for my own cars but I'm hoping some of my random thoughts help you out. If the forum can help you then good luck to you, OP!

I appreciate all the help.

well it depends on what colour/type material you use. My mate got his a5 wrapped in gloss white from these guys and the quality and finish was like it was an actual paint job. Gloss/matt wraps tends to be less then the fancy vinyls i.e carbon, brushed. But i dont really want carbon or anything like that.

For something with a full wrap and different material anything from 3-6K

3k - 6k is way too much and i doubt many companies would charge that much. My mate got his audi a5 done for only £1200 (icluding door shuts).

I think 3k price would probably be a chrome wrap which i dont want....not to my taste and apparently will not be allowed by the law soon.

The guys who i spoke to who done my mates A5 where a company called wrap superstar based in north london.

I actually saw them do a wrap whilst i was there and the quality seemed very good which is what im looking for as my r8 needs to be handled with care.

The A5 my friend got wrapped is on their website www.wrapsuperstar.com. i think the website is under construction but you can see his car on their (even though the picture is not up close you can cant tell the difference between a paint job and wrap and up close is the same).

Not sure if i wanna go for white though seeing as it would be too similar to my mates.
