I Like that! 750 aint bad - although with spolier + scoops etc i would expect a little more than that...

5 year guarantee isn't either. I've had some spray work done to the car and there isn't anything wrong with the paint, no rust etc, so it would protect it for a few years...

TEMPTING!

There is a thread on the car care section here about a Ferrari that had it done. Follow the links and it takes you to a price list.
I think £750 sounds about right, You can put this stuff on the paint first and it protects it from the sticky stuff the wrap has on it.

How would you declare that on log book? Black car with white decals?

As it is still technically a black car?

But apears white.

white m3s = far and few!

edit: dvla dont need to know about temp colour change? im not sure if the engine bay/ door shuts are done, so that could be proof if you have trouble with police..

might even be negative as if u do have to decalre to dvla then the change of v5, will affect resale wont it? new buyers will no of colour change?


also i bet thats a mission to take off at the end!

My RA is vinyl wrapped

I had it done cheap by the guys who did our van fleet. Nissan Primastars come in at around £1100 each fully wrapped. Fiat Fiorino/Vauxhall Combo style vans £800

In terms of removal, its not hard, its just fiddly as if done properly, you have to remove the trim that you took off in the first place to go over the vinyl.

DVLA does not need to be informed of vinyl wrap colour changes - ie all our vans are still registered as white as is my RA

Well that proves two of my theories:

1. There's one born every minute
2. Some have more money than sense
