Default Mk1 FRS Wrap

I fancied a different look from the norm with my Mk1 Focus RS.. so i toyed with the idea of a colour change...so i decided to go with a 'wrap' rather than paint as its not permanent... i have a saph vented bonnet being wrapped too but i picked the carbon bonnet up cheap enough to try a different option..

Paint is being protected by the vynal mate and won't be damaged when removed...

Its a similar colour bud, i'm a good friend of Rob (owns the mk2 you on about) and i've always thought it would suit the mk1 so i got a decent quote and opertunity to do it...... gunna stand out from the crowd at the show this year lol

That's an impressive wrap to do door shuts aswell, I never do, when i wrap cars, unless asked, as when you come to take it off. There's a lot of work

I wanted to that colour to a mk1. Just havnt sold my bm yet to buy one

I'll have to wrap mine now in a different colour,

Looking forward to seeing complete car

Looks awesome mate, looking forward to seeing some completed pics.

How much roughly does it cost to have a full car wrapped?

For the kind of wrap i've had done its around 2-2.5k... but the costs of the vynal differ as they sell them by the meter....

Should have it back nxt week so i'll get some propper shots done nxt weekend

Cheers mate its a brave move as there are so may purists in the RS worl.. but even most have the have commented in a positive way.... the wrap protects the original paint work too

A wrap to this standard is pretty pricy but still cheaper than a re-paint and it all depends on the colour and vynal you choose as the price varys a bit and its sold by the meter..

Markin AKA 'TheRealSkipper' and his lads done the wrap and can be contacted by

info@legendvs.com

The wheels will be going satin black as i think they will look better..

Cheers

That bonnet needs to go ASAP, cause it's letting the car down IMO. It will look mega with the other bonnet with Saph vents. Love seeing people doing something a little different from time to time.

Cheers for all he comments guys n gals.... Soon as I get it back and get some pics of it completed I'll post them up.... Interior wise I'm putting in Recaro CS seats ( same as the mk2 seats) to compliment the wrap also changing the rear seats too etc...

Looks like you sit quite a bit lower than you do in the standard Sparcos?? Fantastic mod if that's the case, since I think the standard seats are a bit high set and not mega supportive.
