I wish, that was my first choice. Unfortunately, only found two in that color within 100 miles.

Tony, who cares if it isn't oyster? That's a damn fine car; that orange is like honey... I want to eat that car!

Seriously, great car! Many smiles per miles ahead of you!

Alpine white felt like the right color for *me*, but I LOVE sunset orange on the F22. It makes the car look so gorgeous.

It's a great car, and your color choice looks excellent to me!

I saw a purple M8 at the dealer that was striking. It was out of my price range and Sold already, but sharp.

Congrats on your purchase! I wish you all the best and many adventures with it. It’s a great color, and rare around here. I’ve yet to see one in person that color in Connecticut.

I need to do this. I really REALLY need to do this. Yes, I will be getting a new car but I am getting this wrapped!

Details please! What's the brand of wrap you used?

After seeing this wrap job i went and got a quote for this color(3m wicked)1600$ The detailer talked me out of wrapping because of maintenance. He said a new paint job wouldn't be a bad idea.

3M's Gloss Wicked. It's rather subtle most of the time, especially here in San Diego with the coastal cloud layer. In order to really see the purple it has to be parallel to the light source (sun, incandescent, LED, etc). Otherwise it looks like an off-black.
