Some cars lend themselves to a bit of mild customizing but surely not something as classy as a Gran Turismo. At least the owner is leaving the country. Or am I just showing my age?

The owner of the car was discussing these new mods only last month:

Perhaps he couldn't live with the wrap, hence now forsale smile

How easily can a wrap be removed, and does it leave a mess behind?

(Not that I'm in the market, just curious)

I have to say, that's not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I'm not sure about the white stripes but I do like the white body/black roof look. I don't like the shape of the B window on these, and the black roof hides that nicely. Each to his own though.

I wouldn't buy from this chap...he's clearly a liar...the real reason he's moving must be to get away from that hideous car!

Same companies that fit them will remove for a few hundred, then it leaves the car in exactly the condition it was in before the wrap went on; and if it's been driven a fair bit obviously significantly better than it would have been without the wrap. Also to mention that the car is much less likely to suffer stone chips with the wrap over the top too.

Like it or loath it, that wrap has reduced an already limited potential market. IMO take the wrap off and the car will be of greater appeal to more people.

Terrifies dealers as well; no way to know what lurks beneath...

The house says it all, you can't buy a Maserati and live in a house with UPVC windows.

if you had upvc windows, then at least you wouldn't be able to see that, or anything else, outside biggrin
