How much vinyl to wrap a Caterham?

[MagicalTrevor]

I fancy having a go at wrapping my Caterham.

I’m wondering how much material I should buy? If you’ve done it before then I’d appreciate some guidance based on what you used?

Thanks

I can only think in horror just how much ballache the bonnet alone would be to wrap.....

I have a plan for that involving a vacuum pump!

I wrapped mine in 2020. I wrapped all of it apart from the wings and used 7m of wrap. It would have been 6m but I wasted a load by cutting the piece too small for the rear panel.

Perfect, thank you. I was thinking 6m so maybe get 7m just to make sure

Guy that does my race car asks for 6M

He's probably better at it than me :-D Thanks for the reply though, good to know the min/max of what I should expect.

So how much skill does it need to wrap a car? Can any old idiot called Bert do it, or does it need loads of skill and practice?

I wouldn’t say it’s easy, but it’s not hard if you learn the basics and be methodical and patient
