Especially with all the chrome bits black.

The wraps are supposed to be a lot cheaper than paint, and if you wanted to at a later date, you could have it removed with no detriment to the original paint (they say).

Nah, if I was ever to have a car in matt black, it'd come professionally painted that way from the factory! Any aftermarket attempts in comparison, would either be a bodge or very expensive to do right! Wraps? No chance:D

Seen a few brand new M3s round here in that finish, with black wheels and red seats, and they look well cool:)

Fucking YEAH....

Yeah. Some motors are just cut out for a matt finish :).

That is the ONLY car that should ever have a Matt finish. The rest just look daft, IMHO!

:eek: You musn't ever call a Land Rover a Jeep! :nono: Land Rover people get very upset! (Not me, because I know my Land Rover history and the original Series 1 Land Rover was actually inspired by/based on the WWII Jeep.)

I wasn't going to bite. :lol:

I think it all depends on the car and the body shape. The first time I saw a matt finish (on I think a BMW) was in Cameroon. One would expect a bit of 'bling' there, but I have to say it looked very stylish and certainly a bit different from the rest. I did wonder at the time how well the matt finish would last and what would be the best way to maintain it.
