Was thinking of getting the T350 designed to a race like design and I am looking into the vinyl wrap area as I believe it will be cheaper than a respray and will leave the original paint intact. Has any one had any experience with this? Would this be a recommended way forward and does any one know a good place to get it done?

saw a brand new car done once, took two men all day. looked smart. just wondered what happens if it comes off or if it affects resale value. oh and when doors were opened original colour was visible.

Hi Simon,

I have a new company that is interested in doing my car. They are a new company as they are chaps that have left other wrappers and joined together and want a collection to move forward with.

They offered me a great price, as my car seems to be going to a lot of events at the moment I will leave it until the end of the season but I will get it done by them. They have done about 6 cars of peaple that I know including some real top draw super cars and they can send you pictures and I / they can give you the reference to call if you need them.

If you are interested for me to put you in contact so you can just have a chat then I will be more than happy to do that for you. My car means a lot to me and I would trust them to do mine, mine will be a combination of gloss white and carbon wrap. (pm me your email if you need me to connect you)

Paul........

Word of caution. Make sure its a reputable, experienced company.
Creative FX of Bromley did David Yu from EVO's GTR and they did inside all the door shuts. Top job.

Pick a colour that doesn't make it look like a wrap! That GTR purple just looks wrong.

It appears it will cost in the area of £1,800 for a full body wrap (single colour). Seems reasonable so wondering why others have not looked into! Would love to see an actually tiv with the wrap!

Next step is sorting the design out for the car! Finding it hard to imagine on a T350 as most tiv race cars seem to be the Sagaris!

You answered your own question. A repsray isnt much more.

But you can 'make it your own' with a design of you choice and it does not destroy the original paintwork underneath (I am told). Thats what makes it appealing to me.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with a wrap, I just think most owners are pretty happy with their existing personalised colours (remember, these aren't BMWs or Porsches with no decent colour choices). A lot of owners seem to put decals and stripes on their cars, which I guess is cheaper. PHer T350t is a good example of this, he's had some lovely designs.
