Gloss or Matte/Satin??

[Minty9]

Thinking about getting my roof wrapped on my Leon FR.

The question is do I go for gloss black and eventually gloss black wheels....or matte/satin black and matte/satin black wheels.

Has anyone else wrapped their roof in either and if so do you have any pics?

I know it's mostly down to personal preference but with the matte black, does dirt/grease show up more easily?

Cheers.

Matte carbon. Best by far. That's coming from someone who's had it and now has gloss black

Hmmmm that's a curve ball... Wasn't thinking about carbon as nothing else is carbon. Have you seen anyone with just matte black?

 

[shnazzle]

Nope. Don't think so actually. I've seen plenty whole cars plastidipped or wrapped black

The plastidip doesn't look as good as wrapping I don't think. Really can't decide on this one.
The gloss looks good as it flows with the windscreen, but the matte would match the trim :-/

There's a yellow mk2 fr near me with matt black roof and it don't look great, I think gloss would be better

Anything other than Cupra (gloss black trim) would suit carbon better. Matte black looks weird. And gloss with matte trim looks weird.
Hence... Carbon matte
It always looks clean too and imperfections are well hidden. Gloss has to be 100% perfect or it will do your head in

I'm gna be getting a triple r splitter which is glass black...so was gna do bumper lip gloss black aswel...so made me think gloss black roof. But I dunno... Lol
Not sure if I'd like the carbon tbh

Looks mint on white. But taste is always personal of course.
Check out my RR thread for pics

If you have gloss black mirrors (properly gloss), gloss black front grill and roof.. Then the next step is the bonnet scuttle and pillar trims. At the risk of looking a bit Citroën DS3

 

[Minty9]

My mirrors and front grill are both matte :-/ but still think id do the bumper lip gloss to match the splitter...
I've had a look at your RR and can't really make out the carbon but the gloss looks good

 

[shnazzle]

Haha yeah I just looked and can't tell either. So...

 

[shnazzle]

Argh! Another Samsung fail... It seems to automatically compress and resize my pics

 

[Minty9]

Lol never mind. I'll probably decide when I drop it off to be done
The carbon does look decent tho. Are there different types of carbon? Or will all black carbon be the same?
