about £800 + i'd guess
best to speak to a company that does it though for a real answer!
You'll get someone on here saying £200 as his mates mate does them or something like that.
We paid £700 to get the Skyline wrapped in plain white.
Any prints add a lot of expense as you need to print then laminate it... which also makes it a bit trickier to fit.
A corsa is tiny compared to a skyline though so materials and labour should be significantly less.

I used to be a sign writer, and although its a tricky job, it wouldn't take that long.
2 days i reckon.
Say £200 for materials, so thats £1000 for 2 days work. £500 a day. Thats about £63 p/h. Rip-off.

It can look pretty cool, but it's not cheap. Cheaper than a respray tho I suppose!!
Tom - Is that the pickup that's in the yard atm?!

What all different bits of vinyl placed over each other in a camo pattern?!
I think you'll find it's printed sheets of vinyl tbh so is just as hard as any other wrap, if not more so to try and keep the pattern matching up over panels....

my company does it, its expensive due to the price of the vinyl itsself (not cheap) also the labour involved as gettin patterns and panels to meet up and get all the bubble and creases and get the vinyl to shrink wrap itself to the car isnt an easy job

Hardly a rip off when they guys got to make a living from it as well as pay for overheads etc.
Its expensive and not as god a finish as paint. A re-spray would be cheaper. You could paint a car in camo for about £100.
I know a the best website for all military vehicle paints too if you want it

The Car in the link you posted mk4 boy is from near me and it cost around a £1000 if not alittle more to get done. Looks really good when done though.
