how about: 'horrid'?

They really need to spec these with a black interior.

The i8 will never be a Lamborghini no matter how hard some people try.

All this car needs is a taxi medallion.

It's a wrap, they didn't bother to cut out the parking sensors.

The i8 is very limited when it comes to colours that suit the car well, this isn't one of them unfortunately.

Probably that's the reason why they only offer limited color options. I thought white was awesome but ended up with Sophisto and love it so much in combo with PI.

Love the yellow. Hate the red.

Something different has to be done - car has so much potential! Someone has to do it.

Exactly. BMW doesn't know how to design cars. Some amateur can bring the car up to its potential.

Amateur. That hits the feels real hard.

JasH · 02-25-2015, 09:54 AM

I like it in yellow BUT it really needs black wheels, a black interior, and to get rid of the red highlights.

vmatheboss · 07-05-2016, 03:59 AM

im surprised the parking sensors arent going off if the wrap is covering it. i tried it today with a couple pieces of left over wrap on mine, and for some reason it set off the sensors....dont know how they did it

First who on earth is trying to make this car look like a Lamborghini

Second the car wears yellow pretty well unfortunately the car doesn't have the black interior and the red accent was just a poor choice...

Sometimes, people do things just to be different. Doesn't necessarily make it better.
