I thought you did the wrap for your wife when you bought a FFRR, so why not let her decide?

What does it matter what others on here think? Do you like it as it is? If so, leave it. If not, change it. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Yes, I recognised the registration, but I'm surprised he left it on the car.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

If you take the white wrap off then you find that you don't like the car in Stornoway Grey then you can always re-wrap it in another colour. FYI most car wrappers have computer software that will show your car in whatever colours they can do, you could ask them to show you what it looks like in Grey with black trim, and advise on removal if you want it taken off or replaced with something different. IIRC the only cautions I have heard are:
1) If the wrap wasn't put on with a lot of care then you may have scalpel cuts in the original paintwork where the plastic wrap was cut around shut lines.
2) Removing the adhesive can cause scuffing on the original paintwork that may require a full detailing job
3) You may end up with strange lines on the panels where dirt staining /fading have occurred at the joins in the wrap sheets 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I think our posts crossed - no need for a computer when you have the real thing!

You need a higher res photo than the one above, doesn't really work. Too much fuzziness to get the selection right.




Got no chance of making the grill black as its just too pixilated when zooming to select.
