They look mint in panther black. I like the rap on the focus now but i think in a few years time it will look tired.

A vinyl wrap will last about 5 years anyway, so expect to see many being removed soon!

The matt wrap is pure fashion victim stuff.

I dont like it at all.

BUT, it helped sell the car undoubtably so I think it was a good decision at the time.


I suspect in 20 years time, the ones with the original wrap still on (if it lasts) will fetch a premium so as an investment its best left on.

I prefer the look in gloss though.
