I seem a fiesta the other day wrapped and I noticed his bumper was peeling IMHO wrapping is good for when you want a roof done or something but it the weather and sun over time the wrap is plastic/rubber and it will perish over paint

wrapped for cheaper? most wrappers i know costs nearly double of a respray plus it only lasts 4-5 years.

Im ordering my wrap on wednesday. It is about 300 quid for enough wrap to do the car and then obviously if somebody else is doing it then the price.

Me and my crew are doing it ourselves so il get some snaps up as I go along if that helps?

when wrapping make sure you cut it enough to stretch it over edges to prevent peeling and there is a risen you can use once all the air bubbles are removed and its been heat treated ;)

Yeah I know about that stuff already, getting the bubble free stuff for ease of use with the little hexagonal veins to let the air escape...cant wait

I thought about white but I live on a high street so my car is always filthy so black and white are pain I. The butt. Hence grey....still don't know what shade or finish yet but either way it will look better then my current tatty paintwork
