Juggalo Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Hats off to you for trying, most people would take a pass on that. Edited September 1, 2015 by Juggalo Quote
Juggalo Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Would you have to tell the DVLA/Insurance that you've changed colour, or is that for permanent changes only? Quote
KosmiK Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks for the kind words everyone. Once I've got the other bits and pieces back on the car i'll get some better pics up. I'll need to send off my V5C to notify the DVLA, and I'll be giving admiral a call about it too. Hopefully it'll only be the admin fee for them, my other mods didn't make a difference I don't think.

Angrybiker Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Looks really good mate but if it's taken you 30 hours and you're not happy with it, I'd rather do some overtime and pay some1 else to do it... Fair play to you for having a go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
monkeybrain1234 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Fairplay to you for giving it ago. Well done. I am sure it would drive me crazy attempting something like this Quote
Juggalo Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 What's the going rate for wrapping a Z anyway? Quote
Jumzo Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Looks good enough on the pics. I attempted to spray my own car once many moons ago so I feel your pain on spending so long working on it and not getting the result you wanted. Unfortunately most people only get good at things with practice. What colour you doing it next? Quote
KosmiK Posted September 2, 2015 Author Posted September 2, 2015 What's the going rate for wrapping a Z anyway? I honestly don't know. Figured it'd be over a grand though.

Unfortunately most people only get good at things with practice. What colour you doing it next? No plans to redo it just yet. People at work keep asking if I've had a new car, so it can't be that bad. Outdoor pic with everything back on. 2 Quote

Juggalo Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Yeah, does look incredibly good mate. I wouldn't mind having a go myself now..alas, no access to a garage Did you give Plastidip any consideration before this? EDIT: I'd do your door handles black too. Would set off the white nicely...in keeping with the roof, lip and wheels. Edited September 2, 2015 by Juggalo Quote
davetstan Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Being honest I wasn't keen when you were half way through as I thought it looked a bit van white if you know what I mean. However now it's finished and back together it looks bloody brilliant. Well done fella. Great effort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Would set off the white nicely...in keeping with the roof, lip and wheels. I'd not considered plastidip, as I don't have a garage either. Luckily I was allowed to use the valeting bay at work, otherwise I was going to just do it outside. Can you get gloss plastidip these days? I'll definitely sort the door handles, just got a few more things to finish up first. Quote
cs2000 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Would you have to tell the DVLA/Insurance that you've changed colour, or is that for permanent changes only? Yep, you only have to inform the DVLA for a permeant change Its worth telling the insurers though, we all know what they can be like... 1 Quote

zebedy Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 i noticed you did not use primer 24 on the returned edges nor put your car into an oven to set the vinyls memory. Keep an eye out in the sun as it may start peeling away on the corners as the vinyl will want to move because of this. Quote

That looks really awesome, somehow feels slightly more modern too, not sure if that's the colour with the black roof or something else but looks extra sleek and nice Quote
Dean.B Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Looks like a great job mate =] I've tried wrapping pillars before and that was bad enough for me hah Quote
KosmiK Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks for the kind words I wasn't too happy with the bumpers but fortunately (not really) I went into the back of someone the other week, so it needs re-doing. So we'll be able to make a better job of it this weekend. At the moment it's a horrible red primer colour from last weekends repair. Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Looks spot on and you should be pretty proud of your efforts I'd say ! Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 I think a decent wrap is like 1500-1800 isn't it ? Humpy ? Chris?? Quote
