Guys I would assume that if you went for a full wrap, you would need to do a colour change via the dvla?

Not too sure on that.

In theory it is just a sticker....all be it a big one () rather than a permanant colour change.

Would need to tell your insurance company though

Hi. The hazzard switch is very easy to get out , just 1 clip. Have been told you have to take the dash out to get the silver rings around the vent off wanted to carbon wrap them

Great thanks for that, I had a sample piece that i did the spare blank switch near the fog light, TMIC water spray, even that looks cool., tried then to get the other 2 switches out but couldn't.

Dam about the silver rings, surely they must come off!, could u wrap them still on maybe?, might be hard tho to get it round the edges?

A few questions if you dont mind,what is the largest size you can get this in,and can you cover the bonnet in one go,or do you have to make a join?

Not sure on largest. i think the width is 1.6m max and length is as long as you want. more than wide enough to do a bonnet.

Bonnet would be done in one go. joins would look awfull mate

The quality stuff can cover the bonnet so yes you ok with this lad some companies told me they had to join bonnet cause they brought cheaper roll ie smaller width.

Mate if you are being serious? I have to say it is not a clever thing to be doing if you have any accidents be it your fault or if someone hits you, you will recieve nothing, zip, jack **** and all the hard earned cash and time you have invested will be worthless, also would no be supprised if the police were envolved they would try and do you for no insurance as by not notifing your insurance company of the changes etc but I might be wrong but I am sure someone will come along and correct me.

sadly as the value of this type of car falls ownership is perceived as cheaper...it ain't

Sorry to go off on a tangent but do you know if they could supply the matt black vinyl on a roll? I'm tempted to have a play with it by wrapping my old motorbike....

If so, at what cost and how big a roll would it be? Cheers mate
