Default Poll: Black Matte Wrap or new paintjob

my car is at the bodyshop, and the whole bodyshop is done! !


I was pretty sure i'd get a black matte wrap, next month or the other a RS4 bumper and sideskirts...

but I still don't know what would look better, wrap or a new paintjob... my car is black.

its a black B5 (96), with facelift headlights and ruff 951 rims (silver, with the red lip... still wondering if I'll keep the red lip. I haven't mounted it yet)


next stop, as I said, is coilovers and RS4 bumpers and sideskirts.


what you guys think?

I live in brazil, there's a guy here that cloned RS4 bumpers, the only problem is that it is made in fiberglass, not urethane

Are you talking about RS4 style? The ones made by Kerscher/Rieger?

I'd lower it first then wheels.

I won´t lower now because I´ll do a complete suspension job later, including some mods along with the coilover... patience is a virtue... a virtue that I don´t have.

this month is paintjob or wrapping, then buying (probably not installing) the bumpers, buying suspension stuff, then do it all and riding like a boss lol.

Honestly, if you're planning on getting the front RS4 and sideskirts later on, why would you paint'wrap the car now?

those pieces will be painted aside, probably by me. there´s no issue about it. buy it, paint it then assemble it... until that comes, the car will look good. the paintjob was awful, black ages fast and not well.

i've decide everything!

new paintjob! quit the RS4 like bumper and i'm going with a front spoiler. i've just found a pic of one gorgeous b5 that will look a lot like mine when it's done.

does it belong to anyone here?




next stop: break and suspension mods! the engine/drivetraing will be the last part...
