nixy Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 and what if someone scratched or scuffed it? How would that work out on a white car that's black underneath? Couldn't put the t-cut on it! Quote
Jay Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 I just phoned my local dealership and they dont do mettalic colours so thats my idea out the window Quote
S1 HNK Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 that look great im looking forward to seeing how it turns out... 1 question thought....surely stone chips will destroy the vinyl...? I drive about 60 miles aday and would love to get this but my bumper on my celica already looks like a 14 year old with a serious achne problem...one the vinyl is penetrated by the stones i assume there wont be that much time before it starts 2 peel back...? Thats what would worry me, the number of stone chips I manage to pick up is rediculous, if it's strong enough to hold them off though I would be seriously tempted. the vinyl acts a protective layer also and is very resiliant (spellcheck) to stone chips. He said they haven't had a car back for a replacement front bumper wrap yet. Obviously if it did go through the vinyl or anyone scratched it you just have that panel re-done so hardly a big problem. If someone puts a decent scratch in your paint, you'll need more than t-cut anyway! Vinyl is guaranteed for 5 years and the fitment for 3 years. Quote
rmmackfc Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 here it is, the s5 is painted from the factory just to give a comparison The RS4 looks more white than the S5! I like this... chrome effect all over Quote

I like this... chrome effect all over they have got a gallardo booked in soon for chrome. He said its very expensive to do this because the chrome requires a base layer hence it has to be wrapped twice!! Would certainly turn heads but i just couldnt do it to a lambo!! Quote
Sarnie Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 There are pics somewhere of a chrome G at the start of the Gumball, looks vile imo........ Quote

S1 HNK Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 wouldn't want to get stuck behind it on the motorway when the sun hits it! Quote
nixy Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 god i thought getting finger prints off my toaster and kettle was irritating but that????? However, (without the stickers) it is certainly amazing looking! Quote
srobrien Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Just had an email back from the branch in Scotland. They want £550 + vat to do the top half of the zed in carbon, very reasonable i though. R Quote
S1 HNK Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 I just phoned my local dealership and they dont do mettalic colours so thats my idea out the window raccoon.co.uk do metallic vinyls, and they are very good. come on, do tell..... Quote
Jay Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 But am in Central Scotland mate, need somewhere around glasgow or Ed Quote
Rob_Quads Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 and what if someone scratched or scuffed it? How would that work out on a white car that's black underneath? Couldn't put the t-cut on it! If the scrape is severe enough to rip the vinly then it would require a panel to be redone - maybe more depending on how much the stuff has faded. That said if it was that big a bump to rip the vinly it would probably have screwed the paint to the level of requiring a respray thus costing around the same i suspect Quote
Madmarky Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Apparently tears can be heated up and fixed that way the vinyl just moulds itself back to where it was with the application of heat. Quote
tmJak Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 When you go to get yours done S1 HNK, ask them how much it'll be for all the mates your recommending They might have a lot of business on if the price is right ps I'm in Northwich now, need to update my details. Quote

S1 HNK Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 the car is getting vinyl wrapped White. Sounds pretty weird but I'm hoping I'll like it. My friends rs4 in this thread was black before to give you an idea. Quote
Jay Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Awesome. I would love to get mine done but i cant find a place up in Scotland that does metallic wrap Otherwise i would get a funky colour done Quote
