That looks awesone Adrian, I've been researching vinyl wraps for a while but discounted it as I thought it had to be done in a bodyshop garage but I may just have a go now, hoping to do the entire car matt black with maybe carbon fibre or gloss strips through the middle.

Very cool and pukka job

they did a whole mini on wheeler dealers and auctioned it of at international mini meet for the 50th aniversary a couple of years ago.

great thing is they can print any logo pattern etc etc makes for some very individual cars !

looks a very good job you've done there patience must be one of your strengths.

Looking great Adrian.

I've been considering wrapping my car to match my white Saturn bodywork. Any tips, info, guides, costs etc you could offered would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks for the comments guys. David, there are some good fitting instructions on the underground graphics website and blog, I just followed their advice. It's actually been a lot easier than I was expecting.

Daft thought...My camper gulps fuel at 20ish to the gallon so it's seen as having a big carbon footprint so perhaps wrapped in carbon It would make an even bigger footprint.......

I love it..... my friend with an MK indy said to me about wrapping the ali panels. Now I have seen it I will most definately be doing the same, most likely the carbon stlye like yours.

Hi if you don't mind me asking, what sort of price is it and where do you get it from.

Cheers

I got it from underground graphics, it worked out at about £44 / m length, it's 1.2m wide. The more you but, the cheaper it gets

Cheers

Adrian
