To be honest I have only seen one wrap in the flesh and it looked pretty good, but I looked at it knowing that it could be pulled off, so wasn't too critical. Need to think about it some more.

Wow looks like a new car. Was that a complete respray and if so how much out of interest. My son wants me to have mine done white looked at getting it wrapped but not sure probably a waste of money just to keep a teenager happy :D

ha! I'd be a quivering wreck!

lovely paint would be full of swirl marks after one wash.

don't do it Amanda, resist the urge to go pole, embrace an ocd and clean!

After seeing Amanda getting hers done I thought about getting mine re-painted, problem is I would cry each paint chip. I would have to have some film put on I think.
Fair play to Amanda for getting it done, just can't see her looking after it the way most of us would.

We need something new for next year. Perhaps something we knew what the hell it meant.

The car was done by http://www.smithknightfay.co.uk in Stockport, Manchester and is part of my dealership group. I am very happy with the standard of work done, as it is excellant and yes it was vertually a full respray from roof down including the alloys. £2776 including all the labor, paint, parts (foil quarter sill protection x2 and off side and nearside body mouldings) and alloy refub at specialist.



Watch it you lot, shes not always dirty you know........................ :assflash:
Dunc a £5? ........my lot up here want £10!
