Vinyl wrapped Mk Indy
Take a look at my vinyl wrapped Indy, all the design and fitting was done by myself at work. If anyone is intrested in any graphics from little decals
up to unique digitally printed wraps give us a u2u or come see me at Newark show 
photo album Of the whole process is below.

I have to say WOW!
Building a Jap powered car myself and a dragon would've been nice.
What would that cost as a matter of interest?
I've got a little black book with my poems in!

Well all depends on what the design consists of and how much material it uses.
To give you an idea, I'm working on a Mk Indy at the moment who's having the whole back and both side panels wrapping in a unique design
for around £300 fitted.
It's a dam site cheaper than airbrushing and the best thing about it is that if you want a change or want the panels back to the original colour
(e.g For selling the vehicle) it's removal so there's no need in buying new panels.

Be careful not to fall foul of trader rules.

I have considered wrapping my car at some point in the future. I also work for a company that has the facilities to produce digitally printed shape
cut graphics. Trouble is I can never come up with a design a like for more than a couple of months.
I would also agree that wrapping is a very good alternative to respraying or airbrushing. I am certainly not going to paint mine when its on the
road. Some sort of wrap even if its a block colour or a gradient.
The MK looks good by the way and I suggest that £300 fitted is a damn good price. What vinyl and laminate are you using for that price?

That is brilliant looking..... Well done that man.
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Saw it at the show and was impressed. Would be tempted to do it to refresh mine in a couple of years.
Acquaintance down here has had his purple lambo wrapped and it looks amazing - pearlescant white and carbon fibre wrap - I cannot tell the difference
between the real cf bits and the wrapped bits without touching it.

We use metamark as well. Its good stuff! Generally we find that Metamarks range suits most applications but Avery (Robert Horne we use for that) has
some nice unusal vinyls such as their Beatle Shell and Flat Matt Black.
Good Luck with the trader status!

Just out of interest - how well does this stuff stand up to stone chips ? Does it rip or tare when hit ?
I looked at yours at stonleigh and was also very impressed - great work

I've got to say that some standard colour wrapping vinyls are fairly thin, this is so that they are easier to Manipulate and go round contours.
The digital media which is used on my dragon has a layer of laminate which makes it thicker and also protects the print from Uv and scratching.
This also helps with stonechips.
So all in all the vinyl is a layer of protection for your bodywork but isn't stonechip proof. I have drove mine roughly 300mile and
haven't had a single imperfection in the vinyl.
