The Impreza with the lighter shades looks a lot better :)

wrighty338 14 September 2008 09:14 PM

Vinyl wrap...

There are 2 types - one the all-in-one printed and the other base layer and added layers (mine).

Not cheap by the way (unless you have a friend who has just done 40 of your company vehicles ;) )

wrighty338 14 September 2008 10:05 PM

how did you do yours then mate?

Puff The Magic Wagon! 14 September 2008 10:13 PM

Purple base then added pink/white. The added bits have got a clear vinyl over them as the pink is a special colour on a material that is not as flexible as the rest of the vinyl.

All trim had to be removed then put back on in order to get the best finish.

I will get round to doing the front bumper when I get the one I want. Rear needs a bit more pink!

wrighty338 14 September 2008 10:15 PM

cool

Even after the 40+ fleet I thought that that was expensive!

In my opinion, no

I'm old & I like it :D

My first car was a mini van which I painted bright white then put metalic blue stripes on it in a sort of version of battleship camouflage (style below)

Stood out really well but didn't stop gf's mother running into it in a Range Rover :rolleyes:

The only way I can see you pulling it off right is going the Vinyl wrap way.
Thats what the newage scooby has been done.

The other way looks too cheap


Camo vinyl wrap, not cheap:

pmsl, unlucky

jonny_693 15 September 2008 10:50 AM

Its a bit Max power and fast and the furious if you ask me, people will point and laugh. IMO of course

wrighty338 15 September 2008 11:03 AM

do people point and laugh at the dub boys though?

people point at my chalkboard bonnet nearly snapping their necks off to take a look...nothing new

mit 15 September 2008 11:12 AM

Probably 90% of people will hate it,depends if you don't mind this. Im for doing what i want,sod everyone else.If you want it,do it!

jonny_693 15 September 2008 11:30 AM

Dubs are part of that custom scene though, scoobs are taken as being from a motorsport/performance scene which is why most people buy them. I guess its just the done thing. Its your car though whatever floats your boat.

wrighty338 15 September 2008 11:41 AM

meh - dubs think they invented modifiying
