What do you think guys ?

[TuxMan]

well after a lot of thought i decided on a colour change , a good friend of mine offered to wrapp the Noble if i did all the hard work !! most of the hard work is done although i've had a setback today with the rear clam which is going to put me back a month !! wrapping is 2 layer first the base colour then the mettalic clearcoat . been a hell of a learning curve but pretty chuffed with the results so far ,

I'm liking that,......whats the maintainance going to be like,anything special.

nothing special , just wash as normal but use a detailing spray to polish , being 2 layers it should not stone chip either .


its amazing to watch the doors were done in i piece , when warmed the material is very very rubbery so you can bend and stretch it all over the place !!!

looks bloody fab, wots the cost,what other stuff do they do?

cost is hard to pin down as it depends on the condition of the body work , mine was in a bit of a state so i,ve had to do a bit of sorting out and as normal the biggest expense would be di-assembling and re-assembling the car but i would thin 2k would cover it .....probably less , he has covered quite a few cars and is currently wrapping all the Radicals that are produced .

cant wait to see the whole car done,does it come off if you want to change it again
and what about heat from engine,will it blister

yes it should peel off but you have to heat it pretty high , Neil thinks the only area to be worried about is the rear exhaust tips , think ive got to make a exhaust tip shroud .

Thanks Adrian , he covered a Ferrari F430 in matt black a while ago and it looked bloody mean !!!!

I am so jealous .. it looks sooooo good!

I can't wait to see it in the flesh when it is finished.

thanks Mate , still got a way to go , want to do wheels gloss black along with the wing mirriors ,front splitter and hedge cutters have been wrapped in carbon to match the cills and scoop's and i,ve just started design my new rear diffuser but i think that might take a while !!!

realy do like the colour combination would do the wheels dark anthrasite ?? would work well with the carbon thers a good plastic coaters in york iff your prepaired to travel would be good to see it in jan at show even iff not complete everyone running to a tight time scale ?

yep wheels will be done black . found a few issues with the rear clam which are going to cost me some time !!! was hoping to make the show but after todays problems i dont think that is going to be possible :-(

Si - that really looks fantastic. Must be a work of art when finished. Can we have more photos please as I suspect that colour looks awesome in the sunshine.

Ciao

thanks Dave , I suspect the only way I can get any photo's of it in the sunshine is to send the car too you :-) can defo do some in the snow though :-)

[TuxMan]

Thanks for the support guys ,i have to admit i have worried a bit over the last few weeks about the change !!!!!! took a few more pictures in the snow today ...bugger it is bright :-)

[TuxMan]

Hi Bondy , wing is going to be carbon with green ends , front spliter is carbon along with hedge cutters .
if yours need modding to fit , not a problem !!!
Hi Hoyin it has cost me the price of the material used and a few beers :-)

got to admit pretty exited now !!!!! Although if you stare at the green too long your eyes go a bit abit funny :-)

[TuxMan]

Thanks guys , got to admit its a work of art .............cannot even imagine how hard it is going to be to do the rear clip !!!!!!


Hi Grant , your eyes are dodgey already :-)

This is looks fantastic Simon!

you know, you should open up your own garage with all that talent you have

one thing if its possible - you see your second photo looking down on your roof, can you take another pic but this time take a photo at a much closer distance of the light being reflected into the surface on the roof. I'd just like to see in more detail how the reflection reacts to the surface. Theres a light reflected in your roof in the second pic which seems like its creating a lovely metallic speckly feel, if you could zoom in onto this that would be great, if not no worries.

Merry Christmas everyone

Got a bit of a list to do in the garage as my sons Race kart needs rebuilding ....although he hates the green and wants it RED .....no taste :-)

there is alot of metalic the photo's do not show it up at all !! !its actualy a second clear coat that they put on the green .

will try and get another photo but i think the sun will have to be out so i'm guessing sometime in march !!!
