Does anyone know how much it would cost or know of a place in the North West that does them?.

I really am tempted to get bonnet, roof, mirrors and maybe boot done in a matt black wrap.

Don't think it would look too bad on my silver LCR but want to know how much and if it will look shit or not?.

Carbon fibrey texture wrap, not too in your face though

That does look good and I thought about carbon but I know what people are like on the subject of fake carbon bonnets, over metal etc.. I'm sure word 'Chav' would appear in thread quicker than 'Robin' in a poll.

that looks incredible. is that matt black vinyl then? as opposed to painting it.
i assume it would also protect the paintwork for several thousand miles of ownership too, until you sold the car for example.

Yes and Yes. It will help protect the paint work and can easily be removed when you come to sell it. Also cheaper than painting.

[quote="Mr Max"]As you may have seen in my thread in members gallery, i fancied a change of colour....
This is how we did it :thumbup:



Firstly, obviously, wash & dry the car,
then brought it inside for a more detailed clean, especially in the nooks & crannys......





Decided to start at the front, firstly as bonnets are easy peasy, and secondly so we could do the front and see if we liked it....



Bonnet & wing done chris & i do the front bumper, always quicker with 2.



Bumper done, chris starts on side 1.



and i start on the splitter (you'll noticed the sides missing in this pic, even us pro's make mistakes!)



Side back on, full steam ahead!!



Side well under way, Splitter Complete.



Side complete, just the skirt to do, but we'll leave that until later!



Turn around, side 2 & arse end.



Big bloody sticker, side 2 going on



Set on the car, where to begin?!!



The 2 of us get stuck into side 2, it was getting late and we were getting fed up at this point so speed was of the essense!



Starting to take shape.



Side complete, that'll do for day one! (well half a day, lol)



Day 2, finish round the door seeing as we couldnt even finish that last night ops:



Side done, just the rear bumper & both skirts to do.....



Skirt done, looking a little more white now.



Car moved over, so we could do the other skirt & have abit more working room for the rear.
Also a little more cleaning just to be sure!



Rear bumper almost there....



Final touches! Woop woop.



Done!!!!!!!!











Easy peasy! Just time consuming - Approx time start to finish - 11.5 hours!
