Yeah I saw your post the other day looked really cool mate. I haven't gone down that route with mine just got a few decals representing a tuning company that supplied some of the aftermarket parts etc and my Scooby crew West Midlands Imprezas.

I was away seeing about getting my blob wrapped in white this afternoon , Up here in Inverness your looking at around £1200 for a single colour wrap , Think im just gonna get a spray instead.
One of my mates has a full Carbon wrapped EVO it looks wicked , your's look immense too , is there any rought bits or is it beautiful , whats the deals with jet washing etc do you have to be wary or is it sound to pound ? ?

Ok well first off if you are looking to make a show car then Wrapping is not as good as a professional spray job.
But remember If you want something different that you think looks good, The next person wont like it. so resale might be a problem.
Quotes for full paint respray will veary a lot and you will get what you pay for!!

so my view on the wrap is you can go nuts, only your imagination is the limit. and its cheap for what is a massive difference to a cars looks. £1200 is about the going rate.
Im looking at having my GF new VW POLO done in a mad ultra metallic pink YUK i hear you all scream but she would love it and when its 3yrs old i take it back to the dealer to change it for a new one i can take the wrap off and she will have no stone chips or scratches on the car!!!

Cleaning depends on the wrap, the thicker the wrap the tougher it will be, my matte back is thin so jet wash with caution or just use a sponge as i do.
If you go for a gloss with print then the vinyl has to be laminated to make it last against uv light and weather. this makes it alot thicker and tougher and will last even longer.

I think this could be the start of a new trend
It reminds me of being a kid and playing with my hot wheels cars... LOL Im tempted to get it redone in yellow with hot wheels stickers and flames

Any mad Ideas out there????
