Range Rovers and wraps

[insurance_jon]

just been trawling autotrader for a replacement for the rangey, my budget says standard vogue, but bang on my budget is a 1 year old autobiography in the wrong colour.

Its only done 8k, its a year old, all the toys £10,000 less than all the other autobiographys, BUT it's rimini red!!!!

it here if your interested

anyway I thought a white or black wrap would solve the problem.

anyone got any thoughts/experience on;

1. colours
2. costs
3. what are wraps like to live with?

Who specced that?

Ray Charles?

Wrong exterior colour, wheels and wood.

I'd look for a Vogue SE in a sensible colour scheme.

I think that the car is in a beautiful shade of red and doesn't need wrapping tbh. Much better than another white or black Rangie imo.

Not keen on the interior colour scheme though.

I was at my local car multisite last weekend, when I spotted a car very similar to this beauty:-

From across the lot, it looked like a white car. Close up the wrap looked shocking. Badly cut round the doors, big blobs of adhesive on the bonnet.

This looks a better bet:

i agree! It looks like a normal range rover and a nice on at that. None of this fake teeth white with 26 inch black druggie rims that just look st.

Some wraps are better quality than others (just like when getting a car sprayed, some companies are better than others). I know that some wraps can even extend into the door sills so you don't end up with a colour mismatch when opening the doors.

I bought my RX8 from them, absolute cowboys.

OP - I think the exterior colour looks great and a nice change from the usual colours you see. I would find it harder to live with the interior colour, although it could grow on me.

ehasler on here has a rangie in that colour, although with a different interior. In the flesh so to speak the colour looks really nice and different from the usual dark Rangie colours

Looks awsome in red.

I like that! But at least with a wrap you can have it red again when white goes out of fashion (probably before christmas, then). The red leather would go better with white than it does red, but then the realist in me says what does it matter, you rarely look at the outside and inside at the same time...

[insurance_jon]

Well that polarised opinion. The interior would be nice if the wood was swapped for the gloss black.

I've currently got a black 3.6, but need to swap due to the amount of miles I do.

Thinking out loud I thought about white wrap then it would contrast nicely with the red interior, which worked well on my last r8

Range Rover = tacky

Range Rover with big wheels and tints = very, very tacky

Range Rover with a wrap = footballing drug dealer from Essex parked outside the lap-dancing club

I have that exact combination (with piano black) and love it. Having said that mine has the leather roof/A/B/C pillars which that one does not seem to have.

Don't want the wheels, but I've never been up close to a wrap so thought I'd ask

[vit4]

Keep it in that colour, bloody welcome change. Ideally it would have had black wood though (presume that's an option?). Can't be much to change that over?

That would be lovely but too high a mileage
