Vinyl Wrap Complete
Well here you have it, arrived back home safe and sound after the wrap. I still have the rear wing to put on but I`m very pleased with the result.

That looks absolutely amazing!
Is the whole car wrapped in the green or is it just the livery?

Looks really 
Did you do it or was it professionally done?
I'm think of doing my fury but was concerned about how well I could do it. Also do you have any areas where the wrap joins (sheet not large
enough or impossible geometry) if so what do the joins look like as this was a concern for me.

Thanks 
It's lemon yellow and carbon on the rear diffuser, spoiler and base of the side pods, the lettering catches and badge is gloss black.

No I didn't do .... Don't try it, it was a nightmare for the pro's due to the complex curves and paint/gel coat coming off
I've ended up with a few joins as the vinyl gives to a certain degree but they are not very obvious...... unless you are looking for them. Go
for it..... But if you are planning to diy then get a test sample to try.... It's far harder than it looks.

With regards to the stone chips etc, I've vinyl wrapped my motorbike and done a few thousand miles on it. Despite a possible bad choice of
colour due to the average British weather vinyl is actually quite resilient. The wrap also goes across the front, and it's still pretty much as
tidy as it was when I put it on, even on the front fender.
For my bike, it was a DIY job, and I agree with Stuart, it is a job best left to the professionals. I don't even remember how long it took me to
do the bike, and it's a much smaller surface area than a car!
Oh yeah, and your car looks simply awesome!

I won't deny that I'm happy people are approving.
£1050 for the wrap ..... The odd £50 was for wrapping a section of the inside.
Decals were £120
Total spend £1170
..... Cheap compared to spraying quotes around £4-5k

I wrapped mine myself in 3m carbon crap for less than £300, its a good job thats been done to the wlr but it can be done cheaper.

I had a good look around and I'll admit the price is a £100-£200 more than some places but the cost of transport doesn't make it a viable
option for me. The company I went with are very local and considering the nightmare they had with the paint and gelcoat and the amount of rework that
went in to it I definatly got my monies worth. I did try a few test pieces and I'm glad I didn't try to do it myself..... I did consider
it.
