Can anyone recommend anywhere for the above in the Poole/Bournemouth/Dorset area? Also, for those that have had wrapping done, what would be the rough cost for getting the front V, windscreen surround, mirrors & side intakes done? (carbon wrap) Thanks

[Tibbles Stryker]

Chap I know used plastidip, looked bloody great. Not carbon though 😭

GFWilliams vinyl wrapped his so maybe worth a chat.

21st Century tints down on the Nuffield in Poole. Wrapped my hardtop and can do whole cars, though I suspect your looking at a fair chunk of money.

And look forward to removing the wrap and finding potholes in your clams.

 

Definitely worth having a read of GFWilliams thread and MrLamberts as they really think well of vinyl wrapping cars.

If its a proper job with all the shuts done and done by someone who knows what they're doing with no uneccessary cuts and joins you can expect to pay around £1200 to £1400 for a full wrap

Wowzers, that's roughly enough to get it masked up and sprayed in real paint.

If you want a sh*t paint job it is and a sh*t wrap can be had for less

Can't speak for the car but the windscreen surround is easier than I could have imagined. I'd imagine the wing mirrors will be easy? Sharp craft knives a decent hair drier of heat gun what you need!

I paid £80 for the windscreen wrap if that helps

Just be sure not to touch the body, as your paint will most certain come off with it lol

Dont get me wrong i prefer a good painted finish ,but my car was wrapped when i bought it ( was done by previous owner years before ), and when i removed the wrap it didn't do damage to the paint like people suggest. I think it depends on the quality of the wrap used, mine was Hexis , but if you used ebay tat then i expect it would pull the paint off.

Correction, depends on if you clam is full of bubbles which 95% of vx220 do.

[steve-m-uk]

well mine must be in the 5% that doesn't have bubbles, the non Aero version

21st century tints wouldn't touch the windscreen surround due to it being a rubberised finish. Might just do it myself in black vinyl as doesn't appear anyone has had issues with it sticking properly

Probably misread the thread topic as wanting a whole car done!  If you only want those little bits then do them yourself, plastidip is a good alternative to wrapping and is really simple and un-fck-up-able.
