...by wide I mean width not Canvey.

Never really liked the car in black black so thinking of going to a dark metallic grey. Last people I spoke to didn't have a roll wide enough to cover the nose and wings in one piece.

Does anyone know of a wrap artists who has this kind of girth in their inventory?

Cheers.

We can get hold of 1520mm wide vinyl. You will struggle being able to get hold of anything wider. Have a look at our website www.joycedesign.co.uk

Why does it have to be one piece? Don't they cover the wings, bumper and bonnet separately so you could use more than one piece? confused

He means vinyl wide enough to do a single panel without having to have a seam. I've worked with companies that do wrapping and the R8's in particular are too wide on the bonnet for a single piece so have to do a seam down the middle = not ideal

No need to have a join in the middle. We've done 4 R8's now without a join. Yes it's tight but it's a big enough piece of vinyl to comfortably stretch the extra amount you need without causing a problem

Each to there own and all that but why on earth Battleship grey ???

You probably have the best colour as it is, whilst I would possibly agree they don't seem right in Rosso it's an opportunity to have something different no ?

Website is offline? What would something like that cost me? I'm looking for the equivalent of Grigio Alfieri in Maserati colours.

Thanks.

Its an old mans' GT, I could hardly get away with a matt or a crazy colour combination. Also I like to try and make it as unnoticable as possible.

However its back from the paintshop after the latest keying incident and apparently its looking quite nice again...
