Im fairly sure I could do it better myself. With my eyes shut. Whilst seperating two fighting dogs.

Stevie Wonder could have done a better job whilst wearing boxing gloves.

I didn't Stevie Wonder had entered the wrapping business!

That is appalling, without a doubt the worst wrapping I've ever seen.

EDIT:

If you are going to give your car a crap wrap, do the bottom bumper. The "Grill extending to the floor" thing looks like a Hitler 'tasche on the front of the car.

My Grandfather could do a better job, and he was cremated 30 years ago.

That picture looks like one of those arty shots of a nice car in a derelict wasteland.

Unfortunately, there are too many people jumping on the wrapping bandwagon. Window tinters, valeters and people who've done a 1 day course and think they should be let loose on an expensive car. The modern vinyls are not hard to fit but it all comes down to the trimming and finishing that makes for a professional job and that can only be learnt with years of experience.

Just read the thread, the amount of damage they did to this blokes car is terrible. Snapped a B pillar in half, snapped the spoiler mount off, snapped the parking sensor mount so they just disconnected them, ripped both window seals etc. This guy now has not only a bill for re-wrapping his car (and only a 75% refund from the original wrapper) but will have to get all the repairs done to get his car right again.

At their cost presumably. If ever there were a case for taking the route of legal redress, this surely looks like it.

yes

75% refund is a joke. I'd want full refund plus damages for the cost of repairing the car, minimum.

Argeed. But if they've only refunded 75% of the fee, what makes you think they'd stump up for the repair (before going to court, that is)?

Nothing. Hence why you'd then be taking them to court...
