Any details on brand/color name for wrap match?

Hexis Mouse Grey S5430B

It's not exact but extremely close and using it on the sensores because theres a tiny black line around the edge its totally indistinguishable

the vinyl has no effect on the sensors, works perfectly

wow! is it painted or a wrap? if its a wrap - what brand and color???

[cannockwolf]

For anyone wanting to do this but arent sure, i reckon go for it, i cant imagine mine without it colour coded anymore, I'm positive they did this just to make the M2 more premium looking, the back looks sooo much nicer and coherent now.

Like I said i'm speaking to the people on the fence, i understand there are plenty (most) who prefer the black gloss.

the question is - what material (wrap film) can match Thundernight Metallic

[cannockwolf]

You'll have to bite the bullet and paint I think

Haven’t done this sort of thing before, but tempted to now. I think you said you removed the parts prior to painting. Can the paint work not be done without disassembling?

And are the sensors not paintable?

a proper job mean removing them but it your using a rattle can im not sure if that would be good enough for me, im sure the sensors are paintable but my painter chickened out in case they didnt

I like it a lot I have tossed around wrapping the black with carbon fiber, think it could look pretty cool if even just the rear wrapped in carbon.

[nype]

Is there not a colour wrap in BG? Or does it not match the paint well enough?

Stumbled on a white one on insta

Had mine painted by my body shop. They painted the sensors. Never had a problem with their operation. Thanks go to Cannockwolf for the idea.

Holy fuck LMAO. That's what I just paid for my exhaust plus a spoiler. BRB wrapping instead of painting.

Definitely the way to go, the car looks way more aggressive.
