Bold colour for a stock car! It has potential though

Some Black Concave rims... Something special though!
Deck the car to the ground on some coilovers, otherwise the SE Bodykit will look really plain.
Tint the windows.
Get some front Depo headlights with LED Angel Eyes

But it does match the garage doors in the back ground

Get these wheels!!! Would look hard!

Very bold colour but it's nice to see something different and unique. Personally I think you need some nicely spaced CSL reps or similar on 19's. Should look stunning then.

I don't doubt that at all, and it will no doubt remain unique to the UK and very probably the world!

I have a burning desire for a vinyl wrap, and I've been daydreaming about the frozen blue colour...until I saw this picture:

I think it has great potential. It will be determined by the wheels tho. The ones u are after i dont think will work. I think some deep dish will work better

I strongly would have recommended you fitting M-Sport kit and sorting alloys before vinyl. Looks pretty odd with SE kit and 16s!

But fair play for the bravery of it

Did somebody notice that three fins on the front kidney grills are wrapped in purple as well? I guess new M stripes in purple colour.

Apologies. I think you have a point with your recommendation. Pretty "unique". I guess I'm more of an OEM look deep at heart!

Lol at the comments I do like the Cookie Monster, tbh if I thought everybody would have liked it I probably wouldn't have done it, I like to have something different. All the bits that people have suggested it needs are all in the pipeline to get fitted, I just had an offer I couldn't refuse to wrap it now instead of after everything has been done,

if people would like to donate anything to the project that would be greatly appreciated! As I am only 27 and have other things (kid) to spend my hard earned on, the baby is also the reason why this was done to a saloon instead of a coupe, we all try and do the best with what we have!

I agree about the frozen blue it is an amazing colour and I think was second in line after the purple, I am usually around the Longport area but live in audley so I am usually between the two and everywhere else lol.

I hope when it's finished more people will like it, but until then I will update with what I have done, there is a matte purple M3 if you search matte purple BMW on google (this was also why I chose the colour).

But thanks for the feedback guys

You mean someone paid you to let them practice wrapping on your car?

How do you go about keeping vinyl looking good. It always worry's me that it'll chip, fade. What about cleaning?
