Default Wrapped my A7

Hey Everyone

Maybe not everyones cup of tea. But I wrapped my A7. I thought i could live with the white but all my cars have been red so...tada...Also painted the calipers and swapped out the grill to the S7 grill.
The wrap is about a month old and is holding up well.

It is certainly a dramatic change!

+1 My A7 is my first white Audi since a Pearl White 200. I have grown fond of the metallic white. The Guards Red Porsches were from my much younger days - and traffic tickets.

Nice job! Did you do the wrap yourself? If so, can I ask about what the materials cost? I have a black A7, and it looks so good for the 15 minutes after I clean it, but really would rather a different color. My younger brother used to do vinyl wrapping for an advertising firm, so I've considered doing it myself.

Looks good. I just did a full wrap recently on a Range Rover Sport from silver to white. Now a days, it's not always common to see "simple" color change wraps anymore, and most people think of crazy colors like gold chrome or something when referring to full car wraps.

I didn't do it myself, I don't have that skill set. HaD a company do it from San leandro. I got a lot of quotes before I commited. Everything from $3K to $5K. If your going to do it, be sure to get the door jams too. I didn't want to open the door and be reminded it's a wrap.

Looks good! I've been tossing around the idea of wrapping my Q7...

that looks amazing. I was think about wrapping mine next summer in a bloodbath chrome. I did my last two cars in satin balck and brushed steel. Feels like having a brand new vehicle..enjoy the head turns!!!

Looks nice! How long does the wrap last on a car? I would imagine the color would fade over time from exposure to the sun and elements?
