If you have a look at chilligraphics.co.uk you'll see my car which they put a printed wrap on , had a wrap before but was nervous of doing something so bold but the general consensus is that it looks really good , just a word of warning , if you do get a wrap it will pull some of the paint off when you remove it , usually it comes off ok but the paint on VX's isn't usually that good, I know some people think there the work of the devil but you can get some amazing designs now , there also fine if your tracking , well no worse than paint

What made you choose that design....?

As an alternative between paint and wrapping look into rubber paint. Seriously.
Even flip colours, all look almost as good as actual paint.

Rob999- just fancied doing something different, played around with ideas on gran turismo livery editor , then worked out what I could afford to do and ended up with that . I looked a Lamborghini which had a really good printed wrap designed by some famous artist , I think it came in at £20k so as usual anything is possible if you have deep pockets .
I looked at plasti dip type products but after speaking to people who do both they advised against it as the finish isn't as durable , looks good when it's just done though

I think Porsche Lava Orange is winning.

However will wait till next winter so a quick local front clam job in the original silver just for this season now.

That'll allow me to get Nitrons and other stuff done now, whilst sourcing new rubbers/seals etc for a good as new look next season with the respray.
