I'm thinking of having my Noble wrapped to promote my business. I run a small bathroom refurbishment company called sevenoaks bathrooms and thought having the website and phone numbers etc stuck all over the car could be a good idea. I would have bathroom images on the car too. (probably avoiding pictures of toilets though!)
No doubt this could make for very striking advertising and make the car tax deductable etc. However, my wife and a few others think it would work against me. Looks like you charge too much or are a bit flash. I'm still not convinced though.
I would welcome any comments from you lot, but try not to be biased towards the car. I think it would look really cool but am afraid I'm being biased myself! Cheers

why not get a van, put the advertisments on this, that way you could allways use the van for carrying supplies....bit old fashioned i know but hey,

IMO, I don't think the vehicle is representative of the service that you offer. The Noble inspires the onlooker to think speed. Subconsciously people relate speed to risk and therefore you would be associating your business with risk. I have in the past taken a number down off of the side of a van which is immaculately clean, an easily identifiable number, with the persons name displayed as it comes across to me that if they take care of their vehicle they may equally apply that methodology to their work.

Your Noble will represent your rich rewards (rightly or wrongly), and your customers will associate that with your charges..

Agreed, mate of mine has an engineering company, he has been quite successful and after lots of hard work, brought himself a 360 spider. The number plate he put on the car was the name of his business and the grief he had with people wrongly assuming that he must be over charging due to what he was driving made him remove the PP. He now drives a Vanquish with a V12 plate, far more understated!!!lol

Your wife is right, perception of the masses is that Nobles are expensive exotica that your have to be rich to own.

However I dont think you would be successful in arguing it as a non perk even if it was covered in a bathroom business advert...

You overtake a potential client, you know it is safe, they think you are a d1ckhead.

One lost client.

I would not do it, I have thought about this for my company but I can't resist putting my foot down.
IMHO of course.

Opinions considered. Looks like its gonna have to be a standard respray then. I like the black anyway! The vans are signed up already and I thought the Nob could look good too. Probably me pretending that its a sponsored race carrolleyes
I had considered what happens when you blow one of your clients doors off, mind you that does sometimes happen in the vanlaugh

Agree totally with the above comments. When I visit customers to survey jobs, it's in my modest Hyundai Amica with 'Gas Service' all over it. Very well known in Staffordshire it is too! The customer's perception of you and your business is everything. I don't want them thinking that I make a mint out of them and rub their noses in it to boot.
