Wont be finished till tommorrow, picking the wheels up later today.

They had a problem with the roof, had to do it 3 times? Rather that than they just accept the first effort!

Only prob was that left them short of wrap and bank hol yesterday, so will now be ready Wed afternoon.

Would rather it was right than rushed!

That's a huge difference from their London based branches...

Looks awesome but you definitely need to go the whole hog with badges, wheels, mirrors etc.

Can you post pictures of the door shuts when it's done as this is the bit I've never seen...

Agree with leaving the rear badges off too, have you thought about the US spec front number plate blank?

I know its not everyones cup of tea! But then I knew it wouldnt be!

Biggest problem I am facing is how picky should I be over the quality of the finishing, I know its not going to be perfect but not sure what is ok and par for the course and whats not! Minor marks on the wrap / cut marks, when you look close you can see these but then its not a full on respray?! Emm, HELP!

Anyone advise?

It is guaranteed for 3 years, and should be ok for 5, with no impact on the paint below. If anything the paintwork should be protected and in like new condition? So they say :?:

As for stone chips, like anything it will get marked, if its bad it is easy enough to go back in and get a section redone?

Some pics from today, and got the wheels back :D

Get the car back tommorrow afternoon once the doors and remaining bits are finished

Not sure about leaving that balanced on the discs!

Looks like a prototype spy shot you see of cars at the Ring ;)

Looks brilliant. I saw a Merc SLR driving around the other day wrapped in Chrome... think that's a bit much but certainly turned a few heads.

Matt black is the way forward tho, looks fantastic!

looks absolutley stunning, as a phantom black avant owner, I am very tempted, its really works, I too would leave it debagded and the matt black wheels look very good. Your osf strut looks a bit damp , have you had that checked ?

Yes - its on stands! :D

The blocks under the discs are just an additional precaution!

Will get the strut checked! Getting it back tomorrow :D :D :D

Here's another thought for you chaps...

They tell me that they can do almost anything, meaning, have a colour change wrap then have another transparent wrap over that to make it abit unique, they do transparent wrap in various colours n shades too, for example, they wrapped a Standard red ferrari in a grey wrap they covered it with a matt blue/purple transparent laminate!

I spose having a transparent laminate on top of your existing colour is also an option, to keep it similar but with a slight twist to the colour
