Gallardo wrapping opinions please
Discussion
I'm getting my 05 Gallardo wrapped next week, it's going to be white with Mat black vents over the engine bay.
Like this,
I was also thinking of having the wing mirrors in mat black, and possibly the vents over the wheel arch's and rear spoiler.
Or do I do something like this, but without the front bonnet being black:
Or this:
I am really, really not very creative and so all opinions would be gratefully recieved!

I think the roof matt or shiny black would be perfect against the white. It gives the "bicolore" look and shows the lines of the Gallardo off really well. You are right I would not have the bonnet done as it makes it look like a race car so roof plus engine cover in black would look great in my opinion.Like this,

(thinking out loud)
I saw a elise recently that had the air scope down the side in black like a swoosh, if you followed that onto the lines of the car it would really stand them out.
Bit like this. couldnt find a side on view of a white 05 model though.

I think the scheme with the black roof looks better, otherwise there's too much white (IMHO).
However, being totally honest, and having seen your car a number of times, that blue is utterly gorgeous (especially when it's in the sun). I just don't get the current fad for white cars, maybe because I'm old enough to remember when just about all company cars were white. It became such a common colour, and so associated with boring cars and sales reps, that it eventually became very unpopular.
And worse still, Diablo Pete will think you're just trying to emulate him!

I'm not changing my cars colour because I dislike it's current colour, I love it. But I'm getting bored. It was either a colour change or a new car. As there are no cars practicle enough or within my budget that I prefer over the Gallardo, and being such a reliable car (touch wood) I will keep it for the foreseeable future. I'm choosing White as that along with lime green are my favourite colours, I'm not copying anyone, Diablo pete's is a different White to what I'm getting for starters.However, being totally honest, and having seen your car a number of times, that blue is utterly gorgeous (especially when it's in the sun).

Also I don't really think many people are gonna confuse a Lamborghini with a boring company car, well I hope not anyway!

I don't blame you for keeping the Gallardo, especially as there are so many of us that would love one but realistically will never get one (without selling vital organs). I wasn't suggesting anyone would confuse your car with a repmobile either, just saying that at one time white had that stigma attached. And as for the Diablo Pete comment, sorry, it was just a wind-up. Also I don't really think many people are gonna confuse a Lamborghini with a boring company car, well I hope not anyway!
Have you got any closer to deciding the actual scheme yet (i.e. which bits you want black)?

Yes all decisions have been made. I have had it done how I want it. I am sure there will be a few haters as well as lovers, but I am doing it for me. Dont worry about the diabloPete comment, I have had several similar comments already. Pete's looks great, but mine wont look anything like his. Mines a Gallardo apart from anything else! I had a repmobile several years ago, a vectra SRi, I chose white funnily for that, but when I had that there wernt many white cars around, that I noticed anyway.Have you got any closer to deciding the actual scheme yet (i.e. which bits you want black)?
