Wrapped my Taycan in Mamba Green

[jenzfc]

Hello guys,

I bought my Taycan almost a year ago and it’s been going through a world of transportations. This is just a summary.

Basically a good old ‘how it started’ and ‘how it’s going’.

Heres a quick recap of the modifications.

-added window tint 20% all around, 70% windshield.
-painted calipers yellow
-replaced ugly oem wheels with Vossen HF05
-refinished the textured panels on the rocker, and lower area of the bumpers so it actually has paint not cheap texture
-PPF the front end
-and now… just wrapped it in Inozetek Mamba Green and it looks glorious. Material looks like paint.

I never wanted a black car, I just settle down for it because it was available.

thoughts?

Looks amazing and I still can't get my head around how good a job a wrap can do of looking like a paint job.

Looks amazing! Well done! I would love more info on "-refinished the textured panels on the rocker, and lower area of the bumpers so it actually has paint not cheap texture " as I agree with it looking cheap for such a beautiful car.

I have heard this is hard to due since the plastic cannot just be wrapped or painted.

Looks awesome! The mamba wrap and wheels.

Looks like the Vossen HF5 are 20" size? Might go the same route as 21" are just a bad idea for the roads I have to daily drive over.

That looks really good. Did you have them remove the ppf to apply the vinyl?

I really like the quality of the wrap and the ability to change to a Porsche color. I dont really care for the yellow paint on tiny calipers though.

Oh boy. Looks great, but not going to win me over as a fan criticizing my OEM wheels as "ugly." Keep in mind many, many of us have OEM Turbo wheels.

Did this a while back, not a new thing , but def a major upgrade from the textured OEM plastic - certain areas will however need chip protection as the rough plastic obviously designed to absorb more abuse!

Thank you! That looks amazing! Agreed, it is how the cars should come factory.

Correct! I was working at a certified collision shop so services like body and paint out of insurance were 75% off. One of the work perks. So we did that.

technicians had to smooth the texture, feather edge and prime prior to get paint. This would be a very expensive out of pocket expense due to the fact everything was removed. But I just did it because of that crazy discount.

Some photos for ya!

real cheap. $4,500 in a shop in Vacaville.

Yes. 20”. I did not want to spent money in new tires. 21” for sure would look better but 20” looks just fine too.

Great question. No! They did apply it on top of the PPF. So now we have more protection to the paint haha
