Remove matte black wrap from lambo or not?

[Tyrion]

What's the general opinion on the Matte black wrap on cars?

I wouldn't go out my way to have a car wrapped, I just don't think it's worth the money. But given I already have the car and it was delivered wrapped already it cost me nothing. I think I want to take it off... Thoughts?

If I do take it off, is this something I can(or should) do myself?

Looks better in matt to me.

Difficult one, it looks good in both matte and original.
I reckon the matte colour looks just a little bit better though.

What's the rush? Why don't you leave the wrap on (it looks good BTW) and then if you get fed up with it then remove it. At least it will protect your paintwork in the meantime and looks good. Its not like it is pink or chrome or something else you can't live with.

I think it will look better off but that niggling doubt is there. I'm going to be pretty pissed off if I take it all off and then think it looks worse, not like it can just be put back on

Better off.

Leave it on, it looks fantastic.

My vote is on, as long as its a good quality wrap

remove it. i'd be interested to see what, if any, effect it had on the paint

I guess that's the other issue - I could pay to take it off, realise the paint is a mess underneath then have to have it rewrapped.

love it in the wrap

How long has the wrap been on the car?

[SonnyM]

It makes the car look ugly... Though you could keep it on for a while to reduce stone chip marks, then take it off when you are truly over it.

[VinceFox]

Remove. Cars this expensive shouldnt be wrapped.

The car is a November 2008. I believe it was wrapped around 2.5 years ago.

[VinceFox]

Perhaps leave it on until after winter?

[Tyrion]

There pretty much is no winter on the southern coast of Portugal so time of year isn't much of a concern, I don't think.

Depending how well it's been treated its either mid way or towards the end of its lifespan. Give it a few months then loose it.
