wrapping question

Hi guys, approx. next week I receive a new M3 CS in Lime Rock Grey.
I do like the color it's really great, though I'd have preferred Frozen Dark Blue which I find more sporty and appropriate to my taste -- it's also the color in which I saw the car first time in Geneva and loved it.

Do you reckon I can find a film to wrap the car that looks close to the Frozen Dark Blue?
Is this a stupid idea?

Wait till you see Limerock Grey in person.... I'm obsessed with Porsche Chalk and this is a darker version of it.

It's ridiculous. Way nicer than FDB imo.

LRG is a sick color. The dark CS wheels and carbon accents play really well with it. Personally, no way I'd wrap it.

I did see it in person under sunlight, I took the car for a TD. Absolutely, LRG is great and photos don't do justice to it.
Though if I could have ordered the car I'd have gone for FDB, so I thought wrapping would also have the benefit of keeping the original paint to a pristine state.
It would be cool if anyone had any suggestions for a film like FDB

3M definitely makes a wrap that will be similar.
