Wez Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 A full vinyl wrap isnt cheap, I looked into this before doing TA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Aye I dont imagine it will be cheap, going to look into it though looks pretty awesome. just concerned about durability, how easy it is to damage etc and make sure it wont peel off after a while!

L33 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 the carbon looks pretty impressive! just imagin if you get scuffed it would mess and peel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 yeah trying to find out info on the interwebz about that, concerned how durable it is, what happens if someone keys it (can it be keyed etc) and how it reacts to winter / summer weather etc. last thing youd want is the stuff peeling off.

edge Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I remember seeing this on wheeler dealers i think it was where they wrapped a camper van. Very impressive stuff and lots cheaper than a respray. If it peels take it back to them. If it gets a scuff or keyed it will still be alot cheaper to have that one panel redone and the colour match i imagine would be spot on. Loving the matt black wrap.

fizzle Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 i would be very interested in getting my carbon bonnet wrapped, anyone any idea on costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 i want the matte black wrap but thinking about the carbon.. ive sent them an email asking how much it would be for a full supra wrap so will post the cost here then ill start the whole justification process where i convince myself that yes.. i really *do* need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full wrap is going to be upwards of £2k for something decent. I was getting quotes of £800 to £1500 for partial wraps with sponsorship logos for Time Attack.

fizzle Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 just emailed for a bonnet wrap will also post price.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 sponsorship logos - now theres a thought.. im looking at that lotus (I think) which is matt black (in the gallery) with the orange stripe and side skirts.. trying to visualise what it would look like hehe - would hopefully be unique (on a supe at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Try these companies for wrapping http://www.raccoon.co.uk/ http://www.motormode.com/ Some example wraps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 This is the sort of thing that MotorMode came up with for me, this partial wrap was coming in at approx £800 +vat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Sorry i wasnt clear. Not the CLK you posted up. The one from the link in post one. Reg. V55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 more specifics? i found the one your referring to. they look okay from the pics / far away but it is up close where it counts more i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 more specifics? i found the one your referring to. they look okay from the pics / far away but it is up close where it counts more i think. Peeling on one or more arch and a couple of folds in the wrap making it obvious its a wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 ah that doesnt sound good. it says it offers a 5yr manufacturer guarantee, but maybe that doesnt cover the peeling / bad fitting thanks for the heads up =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Peeling on one or more arch and a couple of folds in the wrap making it obvious its a wrap. That sounds very bad, I have only seen one wrap in person and you couldnt tell at 1st glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
