what are you thinking of wrapping ? the whole car or just bits

I was looking into wrapping but a lad down the road from me has had his whole car done and while it looks great he has been told that bird muck can go striaght through it ( a lot more quickly than it will eat through your lacquer) and you can't use a pressure washer to clean your car. I think I am going to use the money on tidying the car up instead

theyre as good as the amount you spend on them, my uncle does this sort of thing along side other signage for a living so im pretty familiar with them. you can get basic coloured/effect vinyls at fairly cheap prices, or you can get expensive ones that are laminated etc which are uv resistant, etc etc and also stand up to bird crap. Its one of those things where you most deffinately get what you pay for.

it does seem a good idea and also if i dont like it it can always be removed, cheers for the link! but to be fair i would probably let a professional do it as mine would look like the welsh mountains with all the air bubbles in it haha

There was a corolla on the "other forum" which had done the white wrap and carbon roof, looked nice in the distance but up person when i went and viewed it, it wasn't as appealing. I think he decided to sell it on aswell, remember seeing it on eBay a few times.

i think best way would be getting the paint job done professionally. Ive had the front end done on my latest corolla and it set me back £320 up to the front doors as it needed blending in and the finish was very good.
