Just wanted to show off. Matte purple F55 w/white carbon fiber.

I'm just really happy with how my fiance's F55 turned out. She chose a matte purple metallic and the shop suggested a white on the front and rear grill since the vinyl would have some overlays in those areas. I was concerned it would look a little like the pink chrome Mercedes I see driving around town. I think it turned out much more mature looking and not nearly as flashy.

Most important thing is that she loves it.

Looks great. Is that paint or a wrap?

Looks amazing. I am so into wrapping, but have been hesitant to pull the trigger. Plus I like my lapislux paint too much.

Yea it's a wrap. We specifically chose to get the car in black because of the plan to wrap it, that way the door sills, hood, and truck trim didn't stick out like a sore thumb.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Looks really cool, how much was it to wrap it?

The wrap ran 1,500. It's garage kept so hoping for 3-5 years out of it.

Some of the pictures were taken by the shop and some taken by me. I think the shop guy used his iphone and the image is flipped? Hence no fuel cap.

I'd have to double check the brand of vinyl. I know it wasn't 3M because they didn't have any decent purple choices. I'll check and get back to you.

The wrap material is Avery and it was done locally by inked vinyl, they do some cool stuff inkedvinyl.com . If you are looking for a specific color you don't end up with a choice of suppliers. At least Avery is one of the better companies out there.
