nothing to worry about mate, mines been doing it for over a year now. I have been informed (phil esr) that it causes no harm at all, its just the noise that is the only problem

+1 ayrton senna would be turning in his grave!

a lovely looking car with tasteful mods, this should fly off the shelf!

there's plenty of choice, just depends what style your after. Stay away from chromes though!

i'm intrigued

i'm sure more members would help if they knew what it was for? if its a delicate subject then i understand

repost but they do look

"Absolute cracking day loved every minute....just sad it ended on such a sad note" What happened Nurrish? Great shots by the way, gutted i couldn't make it

i looked at this but the reason i kept my roof black rather than carbon was because: you can get really realistic carbon films but the best one i have seen has a foil back so it makes it virtually impossible to wrap on anything but a flat surface. the printed carbon effect vinyl in my opinion looks rubbish and i certianly wouldn't do a bonnet in it. the place i had my car done has just got in a new 3m product which had a texture to it like the weave but it lacked the gloss so if you could laminate this them it might look good but really there is no substitute for the real thing

lambo orange with carbon bits

great job, looking forward to see the final results

does seem very odd, would love to know what he's looking at next?

lovely car and even nicer house!!

just a few mods going on there Andy

The noble purely for the turbo noise, they sound awesome and thump you in the back like a sledgehammer. Friend does test driving at Christopher Neil in Northwich and he said its by far the quickest feeling he's driven

and they look a worthy mod

yeah very easy to take off, they give you instructions how to do it yourself or take it to them, few hours tops and its back to the original colour. Quick polish and alls well. You couldn't just rip a panel off, unless the scally had a heat gun If a panel does get damaged you just get it re-done. The vinyl will not fade ( i think 8 year guarantee) so it will always match. No problem and alot less that a respray!

yeah, sorry i didnt mean rubbing of the tyres on the bodywork. But things like speedbumps and some ramps are difficult for me and when you have a passenger in it, i certainly couldn't go any lower if i wanted to keep my exhaust and front lip

top job William

that engine bay is so good work sir

The vinly doesnt show up the stone chips underneath, i had quite a few dents on my doors and you dont notice them at all. Because its not as high gloss as paint it doesnt show off any identations. Its such a shame i cant make it to wales to show everyone (friends wedding ) but if anyone is local and wants a closer look then just let me know

the roof is the black paintwork, i did think about matt black but the gloss blends into the rear screen really well. I'll have to get some night shots, at dusk with the lights on it looks And the best thing compared with black... its been two days now and it still looks clean

The vinyl is tougher than i thought although being white and black underneath it will show up. I am going to see how i get on over a few months then if it is a problem I am going to have a clear film put over the front bumper to protect further. Other than that i will just have the bumper re-wrapped every 8 months or so

sorry rob, will try and go some. They go about an inch inside. To be honest being black underneath looks good but if it was any other colour then this would be an issue. They had an aston in which was having all the door shuts and everything done also but it is very time consuming and obviously adds to the cost significantly

here are more pics, will do some really good ones when i borrow my friends camera. Work was carried out by Totally Dynamic based in Bradford. Top bunch of lads there. Cost wise, i did get it a bit cheaper because of a contact but it would be around the £900 +vat. Its not a cheap option but it was alot cheaper than a respray and a change of car The more i have it, the more i am impressed, no one at work could guess and didnt believe when i told them it wasnt painted. Told the insurance company and no probs there, have sent off v5 to dvla so now all above board.
