Post Someone please help me Mk1 Focus

I just got a dark green mk1 Focus but im really not sure on the colour,
i really do like the white craze thats coming in at the minute and was wondering should i go for the full respray or get my car wrapped as its alot cheaper,
or could anyone even advise me on what to do with my car (colour wise)

thanks alot

getting your car wrapped properly, may well cost more than a respray

iv been quoted Ł750 by 2 companies to do it, one local and one over in Edinburgh,
i probably seem like a total tool but do you know if it costs to change your car colour on the log book?

(thanks for the replies btw)

unless you have spent loads and the car is truly unique, i would just sell it and buy a white one.

unless its a model that wasnt available in white, RS ST170 etc

you only need to change the colour on the log book if its been resprayed. As the original colour is still on the car under the wrap. Thats what i was told. Hope this helps
