Default Wrapped my car

Hi I am a new member from the UK I have had my car around nearly 2 years now it had 90k miles on it and had loads of service history a big folder of service history. I bought it unseen at £20k it was in silver and tiptronic not the best combination in my opinion. As soon as I had it delivered I bought a new titanium exhaust and had Wayne Schofield map it it's now near 500bhp and flies. I then had it wrapped and new leather interior plus lots of trim either carbon dipped or actual carbon. I've put 4 new tyres on it and front GT3 6 pot brakes. I've also had the paddles fitted to the steering wheel. The only problem I have had is the ABS light came on which was a new front left sensor at £90 plus the engine light comes on now and again cos of the exhaust. I bought a code reader the car has never been over revved being a tiptronic helps there obviously and I bought a Bluetooth ecu adapter that I leave plugged in with an app so if the engine management light comes on I just reset it with my phone. Everything works it drives great sounds great I love it. Not as much fun as the GT3 but far better every day car. I've posted pics of the wrap on a UK forum and took a bit of stick but I like the changes I have made I didn't want a plain silver black interior car and at the end of the day I am very happy with the car that's all that matters eh!

I just bought a 996TT in Black and if I decide it'll be a keeper, I will probably wrap it in Silver.

Silver was what I've wanted buy but this one fell in my lap at a good price.
