Just got done putting in a few more hours. What you guys think, matte side marker housing or carbon fiber? Still got the roof to do. But I'm waiting on my carbon fiber shipment to come in. And still have side mirrors and driver side door handles to do.

Hey I'm looking around on aliexpress but how much vinyl is needed to do an entire car?? Also, in the first pic those are magnets sitting on your trunk right? Did you get those from aliexpress as well?

Did you finish the bumper? You've convinced me to try and tackle this myself. I have an M5 style bumper too and not sure how to wrap the fog light area and front opening, any tips on how you did yours? Did you cut a hole and stretch? Did you use primer to hold it down?

Are you able to do the rear bumper in one piece?

So I'm about to tackle this and I'm confident that majority of the car can be wrapped with cold pre-stretch besides the bumpers and trunk (besides post heat on the corners and complex curves). I plan on doing the front bumper in 2 pieces as I don't want the vinyl to stretch more than the recommended 10%. For the rear bumper, did you stretch the top where the trunk meets the top of the rear bumper (U-shape area)?

I have a spoiler so I plan on doing the trunk in 3 pieces. Seam at the edge of the trunk, seam where the crease is near the lights, and 3rd seam under the trunk release handle area (I don't feel comfortable mounting the spoiler to vinyl). The rear bumper u-shaped area I might attempt with the one piece and if it fails, do it with 2.
I also have a lot of rock chips on my front bumper, so I'm planning on filling it and sanding them smooth so the vinyl has a nice finish in the front. If everything goes smooth, this vinyl wrap should cost me less than $200. Which would have been cheaper than repainting my front bumper. Thanks for the informative post and motivation! |

Here's this tape you can get called wrap cut tape. Get the thinnest one they have. You can do certain areas in two pieces much easier. I think that's what I'm gonna go with for the front bumper and trunk when I wrap it again here soon. And I'm gonna take the front bumper off once I'm finished with the the frontal area. So it'll be easier for me to get around and tuck the headlights area in.

Yup! That wrap cut tape makes the cut lines seamless from the way I've seen it used

Soooooo after several attempts at trying to do the front m5 rep bumper and trunk in one piece. I failed. It's dam near impossible. I ended up doing the trunk in 3 pieces just because of the curves and lines of the trunk. As for the front bumper, I ended up doing all the inlays first and the area around the headlight because of how much it dipped in. Then laid wrap cut tape on the edges and then wrapped the whole bumper. Those inlays are a pain in the ass. Still got one more door handle to do and the roof and then I'll be completely done. Will post up pics soon!
