S1 HNK Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Here is the result of the vinyl wrap, just picked her up and got a quick pic but will get more tomorrow. Really pleased with the results. Got to rush out now but i thought i'd tease you with just the one pic Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Very nice, Si, looking forward to seeing more photos... Quote
rich5259 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 How does that affect the V5? Think you might get stopped when the system reports it as being a different colour than the one the plate refers to. Quote
Bundus Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Looks awesome. Ive been planning to have a wrap done for quite some time. Really looking forward to hearing more about this and a full write up. Quote
clarkie34 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 That does look good. How is it for polishing,waxing etc? Quote
Stew Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 looks great from afar, I'd have to see one close up though to decide.. +1. I like depth in paint and don't think you'd get it in Vinyl.... Quote
LRF4N Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 looks great from afar, I'd have to see one close up though to decide.. +1 yea im with that. pics looks amazing tho white is the colour these days. nice result Quote
Muddy Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 +1. I like depth in paint and don't think you'd get it in Vinyl.... +1 Don't think you would ever get close to paint clarity with vinyl -- paint for me all the way Quote

marzman Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 That looks awesome mate!! Are you happy with it? I cant wait to see it...! Quote
S1 HNK Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 thanks for the comments guys. You are totally right, the vinyl is nowhere near a painted finish it will always lack the depth and laquer but the finish is still fantastic and from a few feet away you would be hard pushed to tell. In terms of washing, its very easy, dirt doesnt stick to it like paint and it just beads water likes it been waxed. You can wax and polish it although i haven't tried this so cant comment if it makes any difference. The only thing you need to avoid are high power jet washes and hot washes for obvious reasons. V5: by law you dont have to inform the dvla because it is a non permanent colour change, however i will be informing then as i dont want the hassle of being pulled over all the time To sum up, i am really happy with the overall look, it was always going to be a temporary change (12 months or so) hence it cant really be compared to a respray which was just not an option for me due to cost and the effects on resale value. Will get some more pics up tomorrow, the front looks really good with the black detailing. I cant believe the attention a white car gets, its certainly very different from the my stealthy black look Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Care to share the cost and the people that did the work? Does look very nice Quote
Sarnie Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 WoW!!!! I'm shocked that I actually love it!! I think the rims suit a white car soooooo much more than a black one..... Quote
R800NER Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 thanks for the comments guys. SNIP I cant believe the attention a white car gets, its certainly very different from the my stealthy black look Looks good mate, how much did this wrap cost if you don't mind me asking? Something I have no interest in doing yet, but maybe one day when I want to extend my ownership this will give me a fresh start? Quote
nixy Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 i'm impressed. I'd like to see it in the flesh though! Quote
M350ZB Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Very impressed, looking forward to seeing more pics, and a write up of it including costs, does look the part though bud Quote
Gaz Walker Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 That looks great, can't wait to see it in the flesh Quote
