To wrap an RRE then you're looking at £1,500 upwards with a reputable company such as http://www.colourmycar.net or http://www.raccoon.co.uk anything less then your asking for trouble. Price is dependant on the type of finish you want (plain colours cheapest, metallics/ pearls more, printed/ carbon is more again) and how far you want to go (door shuts etc)

Correct, not my car.

Matt wraps:
Liverpool = class
Anywhere else = chav

I really think that the matt wrap is an acquired taste, in the same way as people react to 'marmite/vegimite'.

I've seen a few BMW 3 coupes, with it, it is definitely a head turner.

For me I'm undecided, but won't be going for that look.

Now a contrast roof wrap, that's another story altogether, may go down that route.

I find the black mat in the Evoque absulut cool! The head of the evil ...
Some time ago I had a Triumph Thunderbird which I sprayed matt black - awesome! The Evoque I will sometimes black-matte. Probably with foil. Now I have him at first but once in Barolo Black .....

Interesting that you've done this, its definitely going to be a marmite thing. Some will love, some will hate. Interestingly enough I've heard rumours that a limited edition of the Evoque will be made and painted Matt Black with the Beckhams getting the first one. (Just a rumour though!)

I'm not a fan of Matt Black...but I love Matt Grey (or Frozen Grey as BMW call it...I very nearly bought a Frozen Grey M3 with black wheel just because it looked so good and turned more heads than any other car I have ever driven).

Of course, Satin Black is the new Matt Black.

as you say the 'Frozen' finish is the new matt. It's the latest thing in the 3m wrap range.

No likey but if it makes you smile

Like it !

May be the prestige styling is killing the beauty. Would have been better on Dynamic one. The shine is clashing. I've seen a bunch of X6 in my neighborhood in Matt black, they look very elegant. Agree with dark grey carbon, that's very nice as well.

Enjoy your ride !

I dont see the clash. I see a nice black that has some accents in chrome. Since you only see 2 colours it stay nice and calm in appearance. The chrome accentuates the lines an features.
Doing this is a dynamic will make it look bland and featureless in my opinion.
