We've got one in our showroom at work and tbh i'm not very keen, its also turned up with quite a few light scratches on it and 3m say the whole car will need re wrapping to sort it properly, just seems like a right pain in the arse of an idea to me

Definately i really want to see one with it removed !!

Wrap = Crap

Ford should remove it anyway - the car is awful with it and makes it a complete nightmare to own.

One scratch and it needs to be wrapped again !!!

If you purchased one you would be too scared to drive it knowing anydamage requires a complete re-wrap !!

You can say that about paint though can't you?

One scratch and it needs a respray?

Easier to get a match on a wrap and only do one panel than trying to blend that Green in....

I have seen a couple in the flesh and must agree they look crap. Being matt means you cant polish it so like the pr one on show at ford fair, its just a mass of fine scratches. Plus, i love the way the vinyl was already starting to chip off at the edges.
I bet they look the bollox with the wrap removed as its panther black underneath.

Theres 3 in the workshop at work getting ready to go out this month, they look nice but would prefer 1 in a different colour, yellow would look different.

You should see the "touch up" kit you get with them

It looks like a set of stickers you get free from the Beano.

wrap is just a phase.... bit like having lino at home, or wood paneling. At the time it seems a good idea, but we will all look back and think WTF was I thinking.

Personally I think wrap looks shite.. but thats just my opinion

Saw one in Kirkcaldy a few weeks back, was early evening and to be honest... I thought it looked awesome, however, I've seen pictures of them in daylight and they look shite IMO.


Cheers,
Grant
