It's a wrap.

[JonnoMcJoncliffe]

Looking at buying a used car. There's one that has been advertised on here and elsewhere for ages. It is cheaper than other similar ones, I assume because of the vinyl wrap. I suppose we all think it's hiding something. Does it come off ok? (If there's alredy a thread about this, perhaps someone can point me to it).

It's not a Veyron thats been spotted in Haslemere is it?

Seriously, the wrap should have protected the paint / bodywork but it does depend on what it was like before it was wrapped, obviously. What car / age is it? Who did the wrap? How long has it been on...?

Cool, so the paint could be excellent or a total shambles! Thanks for the top tip.

Depends who's wrapped it - there was a thread about a skyline that had been wrapped by the blind man who normally wraps the sunday joints in Morrisons. Wasn't pretty - knife damage IIRC. It will come off, but I'd be paying an expert to remove it.

Exactly my point, hence the questions in the rest of my post which you edited out...

At least we agree on something.

So buy it cheap and enjoy it or un-wrap it find a world of hurt? Or buy a different one and maybe miss out on a perfectly good bargain? Gut says avoid..
