Full Vinyl Wrap

[Jase007]

I have been investigating doing this on a previous car, but never did.

Now thinking of doing a full body white Vinyl wrap on my 407

Anybody had this done? Cost? I think between £1k-£1.5k

Something like this Full Car Wraps, Car wrapping vinyls

would it not be just as easy to buy the car in the colour you want ??

You can see why it's so expensive. For a saloon or estate car, cost is around £2500

hope you guys dont want to trade in or sell soon as theres not to many would buy a car covered in wall paper.
this vinyl covering is only as good as the person that applies it , theres not to many main dealers fitting it wonder why.

It's not wall paper and it's professionally applied. It can be easily removed if & when you sell the car. The vinyl actually protects the paintwork.

I tend to keep cars for a few years and clock up 30k miles per year, so when I trade them in they are only worth a few hundred £'s anyway.

Defo going to think about having this done.

rather interesting i must admit. i was planning on getting it for myself, just the roof tho, and paining it black. but i never found a white 407. still plan to do that if i ever get a white car. i dunno, white car + black roof, niceeee

that's the right thing to do keep thinking dont do it.

if you have £1000 to £1500 and want to make you car look better then consider some good alloys , do not make the mistake of wallpapering your car i know you say its professionally done and protects paint but its rubbish it will devalue your car after its been on for a wile and you even get a stone chip you will regret it but your money and car.

if anyone on the forum is foolish enough to fit this then post pictures before and after and give a follow up , interesting for others.

sorry if this post seems hard but i would rather be a bit hard that let someone loose out. good luck and if any one does this foolish wast of time and money then i hope i am wrong but i doupt it.
