matt brown would look really good!!! also "battleship grey" in a matt would look pretty cool…

Battleship grey is the colour i want mine done in

Looks like I'm the odd one out in not liking it then. Having owned the car and known the condition before you did this all I can is what a bloody shame!

I don't know about that. Clearly the car looked great before and it looks great now. The big big difference, the owner has chosen a non permanent method to change things up. So when he gets bored of it he can go back to original.

Now I know a few people who have repainted cars from their original colour and then then regretted it because it's hard to paint it back again properly, but with vinyl I just don't think it's the same.

Odd one out maybe? I've had a wrap in the past and this method only really works with a mint example to start with.

Thanks for the feedback though.  

I like it.

I got to admit I prefered it before.

That said it does look good.

As you said, wrapping a car only works well when the cars mint.

Luckily modern wraps are easily removed without any damage.

I'm just finishing off wrapping my tintop in Matt White, I think it looks stunning, pictures up soon..

That looks better than i expected.

However you get sold the dream it's nice n' easy to peel off if you fancy a change or want to go back to original but I've seen them peel away your paint as they come off. (But that's with 'Hexis' brand vinyl not 3M). You never know until you peel it!

To be honest, if it peels the paint off during removel then the paint was crap in the first place.

Clicked on this expecting to hate it …………… But it looks great !!!! Really different and well cool.

thats what i thought looks the dogs nuts

Thats true, if it pulls paint off, its crap paint

I wrap loads of cars and other things,

to wrap that golf should of been around £700 ish

£700 quid..!!

The vinyl for mine has cost just over £500 for 12 metres of Hexis cast matt white, no left overs.

If you can supply and wrap it for £700 I have another car here you can do, I had 2 quotes for 1500 and 1700 quid.

Don't forget.. apparently you have to have an immaculate paint job first or else it'll peel all your paint off - so that's a cool £1500 paint job first before you get to vinyl!

Lol.

Doesnt have to be immaculate just free from defects, laquer peel, chipped ect.

Thats correct, my car was all flatted back and prepped for a paint job then decided to wrap it

Like getting a full makeover and then wearing a balaclava!

Not really, the finish is much better than I could have got having it sprayed, vinyl cost me £500 for top quality stuff, did it myself over a few weekends and a few hours on you tube.
A half decent spray job is £1500 which I havent got.
This Vinyl is good for 9 years.

not a great fan of wraps after seeing my mates rs500 focus in the matt wrap.im not to shabby at the detailing lark but had my work cut out with this one.mind you,ive just seen a wrap on a m3 beemer in gloss white wrap and i must admit its really good

Nice wrap mate I like it.  8)

Being a member of the RS owners club I know that the Focus RS500 wrap is really shoddy and dealers have had lots of complaints from owners about it peeling off etc so your mate isn't alone.

bloody hell, thats expensive, ive used hexis for 10 years, but you must not be on the best rate

im an approved wrapper, recommened by hexis although i dont do cars any more, moved on from that

You've bought hexpress material i presume, you'll need a hot air gun, plus a heat laser as it needs to be heated to exact heat,

costs all depends how far you want to go, door shuts, etc

Guys... Hate the haters.....! Was a photoshop!
