You'll never need a woody driving that thing around...
I think you can get good automotive vinyl wrap in woodgrain look.
You might just put the wood on the lower cladding covering the silver/champagne between wheel to wheel. This will also hide rust if needed and or work like paint protection.
Considering the remaining champagne color bumpers, I might choose a light wood like birch.
A respray would make your $500 car a $2000 car. I like the blue, just add Contact Paper with pinstriping above and below..
I thought you were looking for a woody ...wagon. .
Sample of wood low on the body rather than center.
Around here, camo seems to be the new woodgrain.
I think it looks fine as-is, but I'm kind of curmudgeon-ish and boring. Maybe some bigger, less 90s-tastic wheels and a small drop to make a VIPish look, but not so low you lose load carrying ability.
This is so much less interesting than I was thinking it was going to be and I came in with pretty low expectations.
I'd just use that home/craft project technique where you put down 2-colors of brown & drag/wiggle a tool through the wet top coat to create the "grain".
See how much extra auto type vinyl is. We did shelf liner on my friend's truck and it shrank and peeled in about three months. I trimmed it with wood grained foam molding from Home Depot attached with liquid nails and that held up pretty nicely.
Skip the woodgrain. Wrap the silver part is dark blue plaid vinyl.
To quote an early novel by Len Deighton, "There was a moment while we were all alone with our thoughts."

I would have expected that out of flightservice
I probably should have cropped that down. I really did just start off searching for patterns of dark blue plaid and tartan. I swear!

No ... no you shouldn't have.
