Potentially Controversial - V8 Vantage Car Wrap?

[8Tech]

I wonder if a spray-on "wrap" that simply peels off when you get bored may be the way to go here? No affiliation etc etc etc but I have been enjoying a few short videos from "dipyourcar.com". The guy experiments with really unusual colours and effects and seems quite honest......he is quick to tell you that his latest project is completely unsuitable for a road car etc, but they do some really wild colours and finishes.

Check out the Museo Black video, its mind boggling! Here's a quick preview of the stuff......

I am not sure I have ever seen a wrap that I like, but it's your property (presumably), so do what makes you happy.

If the question is ever about resale, then forget it.

Thought I'd drop in an update, as I took the plunge and went for it...

Now considering purchasing a RRS as my daily to ensure that this remains in good nick, as it's now like new

I love it, but appreciate the purists here will have their own opinions

Looks immaculate but have you not simply wrapped it black?! Thought if you were wrapping it to go a little off piste from a popular factory colour.

How much did the wrap set you back out of interest?

Nice result!

I didn't want to go too garish & cheapen/date it in any way, really just wanted to give it a refresh as the old girl is 14-15yrs old now.

It was £1,600 including the wheel refurb. He's just starting out on his own having worked for other wrapping companies for yers, so is doing some great deals. Prestige Styling in Newcastle.

That looks good.

Silver was the most popular colour when your car was new, then went out of fashion, so it does date the car.

Pleased to see you avoided any carbon fibre wrap, that always seems to look like fake carbon wrap, when we first saw it years ago it looked like real carbon fibre, but the next time we saw it we all recognised the fake stuff. As someone said earlier in this thread, it may have improved, but I wouldn't take the risk. Black is safe.
