Default bonnet vinyl wrap?

One of the neighbours cats has made a mess of the bonnet on my A4 and there are no funds to get it repainted properly so was thinking of having it wrapped with 3M's Di-Noc.

Any ideas what I should expect to pay?

to do the whole bonnet will cost u more than £35.

look at the sizes, with a guess, i would say bonnet on a A4 would be at least 140cm x 120cm

that is only a guess.

bloody hell £270.00 for black vinyl just sound alot

i can understand for your roof cuz the 3m vinyl is by far the best.

May i ask who done them??

the company i work for just done a whole car wrap on a small car
for around the 1000 pound mark that was for everything design, manufacture and fitting.

Sorry Oranoco for hijacking your post

You'll need a piece of carbon 1500mm x 1500mm to do your bonnet without joins.... expect to pay between £180 and £230 supplied and fitted HTH

CheeRS Tone mate, Bit more costly than I thought it might be but still a possible solution.

Fudgey Like your thinking but the neighbour who owns the cat may not be so amused at that solution

If you buy it and fit it yourself.

Its the easiest stuff in the world to lay.

In saying that how did your roof come to £470?! Surely it would cost no more than £100 for the vinyl itself, so where does the other £370 come from? Unless they charged £100per hour labour and it took them 3 and half hours?!?
you could probably get an actually carbon fibre roof skin for that ammount.

Sounds like it's cheaper to just get the bonnet painted. And to be honest it looks better than wrapped anyway in my opinion.

the roof on "minders" car looks stunning,

"james" one of the guys in our club had his bonnet (rs 2000) done at trax 2 years ago. think it cost about £180 - £200 one of those on the day specials. still looks amazing now.

dan@rapid ford sells carbon wrap cause i've bought it off him before, he might be able to help you out

absolutly FPMSL!!

i havnt laughed that hard in a good while!!

the fuckers still dont learn and keep coming back for more!

you wouldnt belive what i had to do to stop our own cats from getting into the garage, i knocked up a gate thats a right pain in ass arse and gets in the way, so they couldnt get in (garage joined to house with a utility kinda room)

only come home from work one day to find one of the smug cunts sat on the roof of the 3dr!

there was a small gap around the top of the partition that they must have climbed though, and crawled along, so i blocked that too and since then has kept them out.

oranoco, do something like the water feature in the vid, it does work. ous no longer get ont he garage roof whaling at 5am for breakfast after having a few pints of water launched at them!
