A photoshopped wrap of what my car could look like....

Think it looks amazing on that shade of blue but ....... I would rather spend the money on a respray and painsheild
But a respray and paintshield will cost, what, £7,000? It will also significantly detract from the car's value and appeal. I'd estimate it'll cost you into 5 figures all told - fine if you can afford it and that's what you want, your choice of course, but mine would be different.Original

A wrap will cost max £2k, will have a broadly neutral effect on its value (although it's best to photograph the car carefully beforehand to be able to prove the pre-wrap condition) and will actually protect the car in the same way paintshield does, but all over, not just selected areas.
The reason for the wrap (which I forgot to mention) was because the front was getting peppered in stone chips and I was tempted to go down the wrap route.
Would love a full colour change respray but like you say, it would cost a lot and may be viewed negatively at resale time.
Some wraps can be awful but if you want the best it has to be Yiannimize Refined. He is trusted by BMW main dealers etc and regularly does Aventadors with full door shuts. Which surely are more difficult than 911's. A lot of the work is tasteless Aventys with Tron lines etc, but it's still objectively a well done wrap.
Yeah, decided to keep it red. Was a moment of weakness.
There are loads of wrapping places here, Foil a Car, 3M, I was going to go to Limelite International, they use 3M. 1,8 00 quid for full wrap outside in inner bits too. bargain. 80 quid for that rubber spray on wheels to. Might just get the wheels Vintage gold.
