Default To Wrap or not to Wrap

Well you know how it is bank holiday weekend and all that have to try new stuff so here are some pics of my first vehicle wrap.

A mate of mine does graphics etc and is just getting into wrapping he is just about the only person in kent that is qualified to do it and it didnt turn out too bad cheaper than a paint job

What you think.........................






Pic's not that good as i took them on my phone but you get the idea

You can have any design you want the idea of that one is to get attention which i think it will do lol

The best thing about it is if you have a good paint job under it and decide to take the wrap off the paint is still in good condition under it so it does not affect the car at all

You know what i aint got a clue lol ill have to ask him for you but trust me when i say there a right pain in the arse to do lol.

Both the sides are done in one piece and its a nightmare getting it to go down properly but you get there in the end just takes some time still quicker than a spray job and more detailed if you want it that way
