The tinting film we use is called Llumar. Probably the best film we've every used and all shades are available and we can also do reflective on requests too.
Mr Footlong, this is the film we use http://www.llumar.com/en/Automotive.aspx

It is possible. We've just finished wrapping a Audi Q7 and you can't tell it's wrapped at all unless you start pulling out the trims.
It was posted on facebook too.

This is a grey E92 BMW wrapped in gloss white we did a few weeks ago which involves wrapping the door shuts too.

Some thing like this would need to be declared to the DVLA as a total colour change

amanda, someone once told me that they came with alu side mirrors? Is yours so? Have you thought about colour coordinating it to the car?

Yes mine do and no I haven't as I like the fact that it shows she's an S/RS model :bigwave:

Nooooooo, don't say that! Brushed alu mirror housings are to the RS series what chromed mirror housings are to S series. Mine came with optional colour coded plastic mirror housings and I hated them, took an age to get some proper RS housings and looks correct now. I like your work chap but know your limits ;)

still getting to know how you RS owners like your styling. We've noticed a shift in trend where many are de-chroming their cars. I didn't know the mirrors where brushed alu.
