shire350Z Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 After seeing Bundus's thread decided to give raccoon a call in leeds!!!! Spoke to dave the director of there leeds franchise and what a decent bloke, very helpful and freindly. Decided to pop up today to see what the carbon material quality is like and after seeing it decided to go for it on the roof, would have had the bonnet done aswell but just waiting to see if the bodyshop can lacquer over it to give it the shine instead of matt effect im after, if so ill be back to see dave and his team!!! But if anyones thinking about doing any wrapping to there Z (or any other vehicle) give dave a call especially from the north area you wont get any better quality from elsewhere, you can get him on either email dave.t@raccoon.co.uk Tel. 01133 223223/ 07957 998811 or look at the there work on www.raccoon.co.uk/leeds !!! Few pictures below off them fitting the roof warp below and a 'different' but looking CLS in chrome dave and his teams done!!! (not the best quality pics) Quote
clarkie34 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Looks very James. Are you going to have a clear coat put on top of it? Quote
shire350Z Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 yeah a clear coat of laquer, the body shop have a test piece wayne and are going to see if they can do it, the main problem is that the surface isnt smooth so they'l have to built the lacquer up and flat it off to get it just right so if the test piece is successfull more will follow Cheers jay but plenty followed the black theme so thought id try something different good think is its easily removed if i want to change it again Quote
Jay Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Yup i was one of them haha. But first in scotland Think it will really pop if you got the hood done as well. Looking forward to seeing it all done mate Quote
scottsoulby Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 very mate, looking forward to seeing it at redline if i can make it Quote
shire350Z Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 i didnt particular like it either rich and it cost about 4K due to the material which is so expensive, they'v also done a gallardo in it and even though its not my cut of tea the wrapping quality the guys did is brilliant Quote
Randomfry Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 When i briefly looked at this thread i thought your car had been wrapped in invisibility vinyl because of the first picture Looking good though Quote
Rob_Quads Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Sorry not for me. Shame they could not apply it without distorting the weave lines Quote
Chilli Red Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Looks lovely James. ps I will pm or ring you tomorrow Quote
GT4 Zed Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Very nice I agree it would be better lacquered what did it set you back for? Quote
shire350Z Posted July 17, 2009 Author Posted July 17, 2009 Cheers sarah its going to go well my few bits off you with the custom paint im having in there ;-) Quote
cfoster Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Looks superb mate, was tempted to give something like this a go on my black Z (tailgate as well!!). What sort of money did they charge for the roof alone? (pm me if you wish to keep it private ). Chris Quote
bronzee Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Looks great. Can you take some more pics out in the light, and when you've had the clear done. Quote
shire350Z Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 The roof will set you back around 150 but depends no material they use, could be abit more or less! But the more you have done the better deal you get! If I can have it lacquered I might sell my carbon parts and have all the top half off the car done Ill try get some better pics today bronzee if I get chance to clean the z, then just fingers crossed we can get it right at the bodyshop Quote
Darren-B Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Looks good, I saw Bundus`s car in the flesh last week and think that the rough weave in the vinyl gives it a distinctive look Quote
cfoster Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Was gonna say i like the rough weave look as it goes. Wouldnt laquering it give it the 'false look' perhaps? Chris Quote
shire350Z Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 In my eyes the the lacquer would give it more off a shine and make it look more like the real thing but maybe not thats why im going to have a test piece done at the bodyshop and if it looks good ill do it if not just leave it as it is! One thing with it like this though it can be marked easily if you run your nail down it and you know what people are like at shows for touching the cars so the lacquer would help in that respect Quote
Darren-B Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 What a coincidence Been on this thread this morning and 5mins ago had a guy who works for them at my workplace, Quote
shire350Z Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 few more pictures of the wrap up close Quote
Ian Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 That looks really good Really tempted myself, a lot cheaper than the mastergrade roof & will be a better fit. How long did they take to do it? Quote
