Default Would you vinyl wrap your car?

I'm thinking matte black

It works well on this Ferrari F430 Tu Nero Novitec Rosso Ferrari F430 TuNero Novitec Rosso 1024 x 768 wallpaper

But would it work as well on a 2001 Bugeyed wagon?

Yes I would, but when I got a quote, and this was for black on a Fiat punto, it was £1k and that's how much I paid for the car. No chance!

I would, I saw a DC wrap a while ago for hawkeyes and I was tempted. Looks pretty cool and from what I understand you can take it off without damage (could be wrong on this)

I've been quoted £800 - £900 for mine

What's it like to wash? Does it need any special care?

I've seen standard Escorts go for a bit more than that, but that one is an acquired taste.

which companies are you guys getting quotes from?

and antc who did it for £150?

that could be good for my daily rider, bodywork makes its look like a 'rat look' car, a vinyl wrap could tidy it up a bit, do you have to tell dvla of a colour change? if you do it say white..

You can't post an abortion like that and expect us to stay on topic. The guy is plainly asking to be ridiculed

There's one thing to consider - how would you look if you were vinyl wrapped?

Paint some cling film black, and wrap it around your naked body, then stand in front of a full length mirror. If you like what you see, then go for it.

Now I'm going to sit back and wait for people to ask you for photos of the above.

That's one way of keeping the car quiet enough for trackdays and PC Copper! Keep the exhaust in the car with you! ROFL.
