it's been on SOR at too higher price whilst the previous owner has been waiting for his new car.

it's now priced right. If the colour isn't for you it could be wrapped in Matt Black for £1500!!

Is it right that the door shuts don't get done? Presumably this wouldn't realy be right? I'd be interested to know as I'm thinking of getting one of my cars done for fun. Suspect a car that's the right colour will be at the same price anyday so don't rush? Usually a bad colour leads the price slide soon followed by everything else.

door shut can be done.

it's not going to look as sharp without being a black base colour to start with but it can always be removed again as you adjust to the colour.

i'd have the car back again as i love the colour!!

Have you seen the photos of that chrome wrap gallardo? Looks good.

Reckon my murci would work well as I have black wheels and leather.

Hi, naughty, but only a temp thing. Would not want to loose the viola.

reckon it can't look perfect up close due to seams, but would be a laugh. Be hard to get inside the car
though as I can just stare at my reflection all day. Yum.

agree on both counts
bit of a shame to wrap my cf bits and i'm not sure how a combination of chrome and cf would look
also not sure how closely a cf wrap could match the real cf bits
kit car yellow, gay purple, doggy brown, a bit of each ???

Why not just shoot me through the heart Andrew.smile

Just the viola murci, all chrome. I'd cover the cf if you fancy chrome as the effect will be greater. I'm not the biggest fan of the stuff. It'll all be safe to be unleashed again when u tire of the wrap.
Seems a bit crude to me. Prefer paint.

i nearly had my diablo wrapped when they did the new, er, professionals maybe? Whichever one it was that had an early episode about supercar smuggling and had an XJ220 wrapped in a design which made it looks like a big cat - was awesome! at the time tho, wraps were about 6K and that was WAY too much for a temporary laugh!

chrome etc interesting...but if I was going to go that route I think id want it to be more extreme smile

Know what you mean, I'd only be interested around the 2K mark. I think chrome is good as it's not a colour. I already have bright colours whereas chrome is an effect. I don't think a pattern or design would work and possible detract from it. Without a roof I can't even replicate Austin Power's Shaguar.
