What a great Idea. A wrap over the paintwork.......... Can’t help but feel there might be polymer transfer from one to the other. Hopefully, without degradation of the finish.

These early tests obviously have some way to go though. Seems there may be some issues with colour separation & image form. There is no way the Bentley looks like Elephant stamps.

Apparently not as it's been around for a while and I've seen how completely reversible it is. It's a great way of changing a cars colour without permanently altering it.

The chrome wraps are probably the most polarising though. Personally I think they can look great on a genuine Supercar....... and absolutely god-awful on anything else! :lol:

Check out this link. I think the Lexus LFA at the top and the Merc SLS at the bottom both look pretty good, but then look at the Range Rover and the Camaro in between them! Hideous!

Hey, leave David Beckham out of it. He has got a great taste in watches (apparently) and in cars too by the looks of it. ;-)

Hey Sharkmouth. Thanks for the heads up.

Thomas Vermaelen’s Nissan Figaro. Now theres a car to express your personality with. :drool:

Only joking! I'd rather put my left testical in a blender whilst whilst bottling fruit in plastic kilt!

Yeah..... When I first found that out my first thought was; sell the lot, buy a DeepSea and be done with it. :twisted:

I mean ANYONE but him would be OK.

Maybe he just wants to blend into the background....which would make sense if that was an off road vehicle :shock:

nope just a vinyl wrap. wife works in the buiz.

word of advice. you cannot guarantee it will not rip the paint off the car in spots when you try to remove it. thats why no legit company will warranty against that. using the best 3m stuff avail.... still poses a threat to the pain underneath
