Following on from my back to black mods:

I've had the car wrapped. The wrap is by Avery in Light Blue.
It finishes off the transformation and gives a fresh look without spoiling the traditional lines.

I like it - a lot. Nice Job.
Is the roof in black? Is it also warped, or is it the cars original colour?

Place just outside of Munich did the wrap (I guess a long way for most to travel)

The roof and rear (similar to the V12S) have been done in black gloss along with the window surrounds.

Looks good ,
What were you told about how long a wrap lasts and how easy ( and costly ) it is to remove it if you fancy something different in years to come ?

Its an 8 year warranty on the wrap and the cost to remove gradually increases each year.

Looks good from a distance. Always wondered how it all looks up close and with doors and boots etc open, can you see the original colour when they're open?

Up close you really can't tell it's wrap.

There's two ways to have it done, an 'outside' wrap and 'full' wrap to do the door insides etc, the latter involves removing doors etc and costs considerably more.

Cheers, in full sun the colour appears lighter it's difficult to fully capture on camera but here's another picture I took over the weekend (also on another thread, apologises if you've already seen it but it's a good comparison)

Ah thanks, so I take it you've gone down that route then? The blue does suit the shape and makes the whole car look fresh.
