That's awesome, would be cool to get a golf done, would be interested to understand the durability, and more importantly the cost, one thing i thought was pretty shocking is the panel gap on the bumper to wing, its huge!

And as someone said on that thread - how does it affect your legal status on the v5 document, and therefore subsequent insurance?

Fantastic!! :)

I don't think it would affect your V5 at all - you'd have to notify the insurance company, but the car IS still red underneath.


Must cost a bomb though.....

but if it came up on a police number plate reader thingy and it was the wrong colour, you would have some explaining to do to plod and probably be breaking some law by not notifying the DVLA.

all you would have to do it change it on the V5 and send it off, no big deal.

I think that looks disgusting, but I hate white and I hate Ferraris.

I love the idea of wrapping, if they did Dark Burgandy Pearl I'd seriously consider getting my Golf done!

I was thinking of getting this done to my Black Ed30 as I didn't have the guts to choose Candy White when I specified the car.  :embarassed:

Just read all 7 pages, but it looks wicked. But price wise, you're probably looking at about £7k - and its only ever going to look decent on immaculate cars.

Not an alternative to a respray (could hardly go using it on a battered old MK2), but as a reversable respray - wicked!

And to answer the V5 question, you would obviously have to declare the change. My car was green, but I sprayed it black - just because its green underneath - doesn't make it green!

£7k..................................Get real :shocked:

We're talking exotica here, not half the price of a very good GTI these days :laugh:

Nice to drool though :smug:

Looks good but I cannot see the point, they only offered that car in red but you can special order any colour you like new, that may even have been cheaper.
Title: Re: Film Wrapping To The Extreme....
Post by: AlanD on 25 May 2009, 11:03
I think the point is its easy to change back to red.

Post by: sambo on 25 May 2009, 11:20
and white wasn't as fashionable when the car was built  :cool:

Wonder how a stone chip would affect it, can just imagine it, if you drove fast enough it may shed it's white paint like a snake on the way down the M1!  :grin:

Yes valid point, still think it looked better in red however.
