It looks really bloody good! without really getting up close and personal you would never know that it is a wrap, very very good, and for the price, I don't think you can beat it.

Is what I was thinking, always wanted a sable but I'm reluctant to change my car when it has been so reliable. Sable and silver look great and don't show dirt/swirls etc so much.

grey with black wheels and some other bits left painted, need to get my new roof sorted this year, might consider wrap next.

If your looking to get a bit of a following going for wrapping Pete maybe you should come to Ding Day more members in one place than any other event.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

What's the carbon fibre like?
What sort of cost for a whole car?

I like the 4d carbon, looks way better IMO, for a whole car, depends really, depends if im preping the car, doing inside the doors, also colors change the prices, typically gloss and matt are cheapest, then the pearls, carbons and metallics, follow by the chromes, ive never used the chrome so would probably not do them lol so many factors involved, id say anything from 750-1500quid depending lol would hav to price per car and conditions lol if people want a price then PM and we can chat  s:) :) s:)

Judgring by ur pic ur preface, so wont be as hard, personally, i reckon you could do it in one go, but id rather do it in 2, the middle bottom lip id do as a seperate section, and do it last, then if u get stone chips etc u can just remove and replace, the wrap is pretty stonechip resistant tho

Id start wrapping from the middle front, just above the top of the plate, go flat all the way round, then stretch in the top and bottom sections, or if your not that confident, do it 4parts, from head light corner to corner, then do arch and the other arch, then the bottom lip, do the joints neat and at the smallest distance, which is from the indicator to the 'mouth corner' and ur never notice  s:) :) s:)

If my interior was black she would have talked me into purple wrap ages ago.

search My 1999 Blue Lagoon Spyder

I'm going to start on restoring her body work, then wrapping her in dark grey gun metal aluminium brushed 4d wrap (too poor to spray) might be able to pick up a jdl body kit Saturday so we will see. all wrapping will start next Friday! but I need to know how much to buy  s:( :( s:(

I worked it out as length 4m, width 1.7m, height 1.2m so I worked out 10m but I don't want to guess?
