Default THINKING OF FULL BODY WRAP

As said im thinking of getting my black 06 STI done in a full body wrap, i saw an evo 9 last year at the nurburgring done in white over the original black and it looked awsome, it fooled me untill he told me and opened the doors and bonnet . i think it costs about a £ 1,000 or so, any one had it done and more so GOOD idea or BAD, Cheers steve.

I'm not a fan of vinyl wrap so if it were me I would spend the cash on something else, just IMHO

I'd be looking for some assurances that it can be completely removed at any point in the future without trace, or damage to lacquer/paintwork.

Imagine pulling all the lacquer off when you remove it in a couple of year's time

If heated and the paint was already good, should come off like any other graphics

I got quoted £1700+Vat for a full wrap on my bugeye by Carbonwraps or someone like that and its a three day job.

£2k for a temp fitting is a little steep to me no matter how good the job

**** - you can buy a fairly clean, useable Impreza for that sort of cash!

not seen one like that before it does look smart! Didn't realise you could get wraps like that, I dont like the matt finishes I have seen, I saw a lambo murcielgo in a matt black finish and thought it was ruined
