who to wrap a gallardo...

[70proof]

can anyone recommend someone to wrap a gallardo?

what colour wrap would look good on an 08 car.... matt black? orange? lime green?

do you have to register the colour change on the v5?

The orange certainly gets good attention, but I can't help thinking the lime green looks the best.
No you don't have to register the colour change - it's only a temp change.

Not matt black for the love of god.

What about Porsche Riviera Blue?

Matt black on a Gallardo doesn't look good at all, imo spoils the lines of the car.

White, matt white, lime green, orange.

White looks good for summer...

I always thought Matt Blue looked quite good



as does Matt Yellow.

Have a look at Valet Magic. Do some excellent work and can help you decide what to go for

So no need to change V5 on a full wrap? That surprises me.

What about insurance, do they tend to sting you for more money if you change the colour with a wrap or use matt etc?

Im getting my Gallardo wrapped next week. I wanted lime green, but am not confident that they can get a good enough colour match.
I'm going for White, with Mat black vents on the engine cover, mat black mirrors and possibly Mat black vents over the rear wheels. But I am a little undecided. I know Mat black is a little last year, but am hoping just a few bits done in it will look ok.

I've got the smart wrapped and they doubled my quote when I told them. The problem is the chrome part of the wrap on mine - it makes it more expensive than just a standard matt finish or the likes. When I say double, it was a massive £8 a month extra, so I doubt it would double the cost on a Gallardo
Re DVLA - as its a temporary change then it doesn't matter.
