Wrapped TIV

[CHIMV8 500]

Anyone gone down the road of vinyl wrapping, rather than expensive paint job?

Just wondering if any issues with certain curves on the TVR panels,especially the Chim obviously

Yep read that,but any info on completed wraps out there?

Once saw a carbon fibre black wrap on a cerb at the old Chim Fest

There was a Sag at Burghley this year in a matt khaki wrap.
It looked like a special forces stealth high speed reconnaisance vehicle.
Very menacing. Awesome!

I've just had my Griff wrapped...There is a BIG problem with the fact that the car is essentially a one piece Panel!

I have joins in mine, that I'm NOT happy with...I had £200 knocked off the bill, but I would say no, don't do it, unless your wrappers can guarantee that there will be joins ONLY under the Doors!!

A Chim has more panel joins, so it might be a tad easier

Have you put up a picture of your wrapped griff?

thats my Tuscan. They did a great job. Said they wouldn't look forward to doing another though as too many curves etc lol

Awesome, I know Scott and the lads very well (I used to own the MK totally dynamic centre). They are flawless!

What was original colour, you have door shuts done also?

[essexstu]

original colour crystal topaz (light blue) and yes, door shuts as well which makes a huge difference. I think it would look rubbish if you opened the door to see the original colour in the door shuts.

Have grown to love the orange so much that when I get around to having a respray I am going orange. Maybe the BMW Valencia Orange. Keep the black wheels.

I did a mad wrap on my Tamora. If I could do it again... I wouldn't- probably would go for the dip my car version.

Be careful of any poor quality repairs or paintwork underneath, as they can get exposed.
