Looks good but would of liked to see it in white on the original colour wheels, for me the wheels are to dark and you can't see the definition of them although they maybe different in the flesh

thanks for the comments, new pic doesnt really do it justice to be fair, ill post some better 1s when i give it a clean with better light, its not going to be to everybodies liking, i fancied a change and thought it was the best solution as i can just rip it off as and when, as for the wheels rota drifts 18x9.5, its also sporting a set of cobra evolution bucket seats whic you cant see from the pic

Great idea wrapping a car. Like you say, if you decide you don't like it in a few months you can just rip it all off.
Looks good in both pics buddy, and I think the black wheels look awesome on a white car.

it all depends how far you go, im good freinds with the guy who done mine so i got a decent price, i didnt have the spoiler or the roof done so cost me a little less, i had the inside of the doors shuts done not the doors though again it was down to price and because the car is black and i got black spoiler/roof/wheels etc it didnt look out the way your looking between 800-1000, its not as good as a good paint finish if you look hard enough you will see its vinyl but its all depends how fussy you are and how much money your willing to spend
