Never seen a full car done before, its originally blue. How much would this cost? Also what about when your washing the car with a power washer or whatever?

The wraps arent cheap, usually around 1500-1700 supplied and fitted, as much as a full respray. They hold up well with washing etc, theyve come a long way in the last few years to be honest.

Danni's 180 was wrapped. works out around the same price of a respray.

Personally I'd prefer a re-spary as you can treat any rust spots as you come across them, with a wrap you can just be covering up problems that could come back to haunt you!

ive wrapped yokes,
its a pain in the ass have to remove bages/trims handles etc depending on car/van
basically like prepn for a respray
simple colour change works out bout €1200-€1500
beware of matte blacks though sum brands of vinyl are shit & the matte
gets shiny when marked or scratched
& chalk does not come off if sum b**tard kid uses it as a black board:mad:

My old drift car had a full wrap done to it. The guy who done mine also done a job for Ronan Keating (after seeing mine) and the job was under €1k for a matt black on a Porsche ;)

deSign Corner is the place, based out in Coolock, the only limit on the wraps is whats in your imagination, once you can draw it!
Andy Murphy is the guy who owns it ;)

Actually I'm getting a hardtop for my mx5 and was rriginally looking for a black one, but after seeing this I got thinking that maybe I could carbon wrap one. Could work out not costing much more as then I could get one in any colour once its cheap enough. Usually against carbon wrap but have come around a bit to the idea now. So who to contact? SJS Designs I know do deadly carbon wrap that looks spot on (as AFAIK it is actually carbon). But could be hassle getting it shipped around the place in the UK. Anyone in Ireland do good work and what price would ppl expect to pay? Will ring SJS tomorrow I think anyway. Not interested in any places where it looks fake and wank
