It's my second time using Orafol. I'm really shit at this, I cannot seem to wrap a bumper without getting wrinkles somewhere. It does look ok from 20 feet away.

I haven't tried 3M yet, my first time was Avery and I found it kinda flimsy for a beginner.

My Cayenne is also wrapped with Orafol. I also did a shit job on it.

Tbh the car has more than adequate power for street flying use. 1000hp on stock motor is cool but compromises the drivability and every day use of these cars.

Been dailying it for two weeks now and it’s a nice commuter.
Buddy blew up the tranny later that day. Pretty sure it was a stock transmission.

Can’t tell at all from the pictures. It looks great!
I wonder if this orafol material is super thick like my inozetec stuff. Might be why it’s harder to work with. If you use Avery or 3M, that shit is like paper thin and when heated you can easily wrap edges / corners / grooves without issues. I was playing around with these wrap materials last time and found them easiest to work with.

Have you driven Nathan’s yet? Let’s see how long you think yours is ‘adequate’ power for ��

Yeah the orafol is definitely thicker and more sturdy, I found it easier to work with for that reason. I do have some Avery left, maybe I'll try it on the mirrors and see if it's better for the curved surfaces.

Rode in it. It’s fast.

But that’s the thing. The car sees sunlight probably 2-3 times a year…. I use mine most of the week.

Don’t think I’d want a daily driver that needs to be filled up every 200km or so… no thanks.

Even 720S on the street feels over kill.
