Oh I see! I thought the problem was with the fitting of the wrap.

Can't wait to see the full car, colour choice is excellent. 1 question - how much silver can you still see when finished? I.e inside door shuts etc.

With everything closed up it will look solid Green it only wrapped around about 10mm so you can see quite alot of silver with the doors open , but the whole job has cost me £800 to do the whole car !!!!!!!! Best quote I had for paint was 5 k !!! A full green paint job would no doubt be better but at 5 k was never a option !!! After all I am builder another engine and need budget for that !!!!!!!!! :-)

Thanks for that, I only ask as silver isn't a bad base colour to have something else over the top. Whereas my car in blue would look really odd if it showed against your green for e.g.
Quite like the sound of the metallic wrap though, might help with the stone chips instead of the partial paint protection.

Have you had your splitter done?

Awesome mate. Like the idea of the two coat wrap for £2k although like you I would need a lot of work on the body work first especially the front clam. The £5k quote for paint sounds a bit excessive I was quoted about £2.5 by two separate companies. Then again people do say that you get what you pay for!

Loving the car. I was a bit dubious about the colour but the detail comes with the rest of the stuff done in black and carbon, absolutely fantastic. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh. wink

Tux,

I have to say i really really like your Noble. something very special. I really fancy cutting the vents in the bottom of the rear clam on mine... a brave first cut though i'm sure!

keep up the good work

Looking good Simon, and still think the wing off look is good (but am sure you will be fitting yours back on)
