Why oh why... if you are going to wrap it, at least do a vibrant color instead of this battleship grey. The red and yellow cars looks great

I like it. I've never been a fan of candy-colored cars. And the "battleship" look goes well with the stealthy e-drive around town. Maybe if they called it Spaceship Grey ...

It does complement the i8, quite nicely

I visited Bob Smith this afternoon and, as requested, took some photographs. They aren't as good as the professional photos to start the thread. But they are of different angles, so maybe they will be of interest.

Bob Smith also flat black wrapped another i8. I took some photos of that one, too.

The wrap jobs are exceptional and both cars look terrific. Bob Smith is asking for a little less than $5000 extra for each wrap, but all prices are negotiable. (Supposedly, the company that does the work is in Chatsworth and charges $2500 out the door. Well worth it in my opinion.)

I know satin black is a bit played out...

But Christ that looks good

The snaps of the Satin look great! There is a Satin Black Wrapped i8, Nardo Grey Wrapped i8, and an Alpina Green B6 on the showroom!

I have seen a few other centers nationwide do the satin Black wrapped i8, but everytime I see it, it's always on point.

The green B6 (a used 2015 for sale for $99K) is in the upside down photo. (If a mod could flip the photo I would very much appreciate it.) The interior of the B6 is spectacular.

Nardo always looks good. But here on the i8 I'm unsure. I think the i8 looks best in silver or black and that satin black is downright mean.
