Im wanting to get this done as well mate, search for a sign/livery place on yell. They should be able to do it for you, as far as i am aware your looking around £100 but it all depends on who does it.

Could you pm me with details of where you got your bonnet bra from mate.

 

[Markie68]

ill have to have a look then the only thing im worried about is i think vinyl scratches pretty easily. £100 isnt too bad to be fair i think it will set the car off nicely
ill pm u now

Dude, thers a place near me, i enquired about it last week, around the £160 using gloss black wrapping vinyl.

Wrapping vinyl once fitted wont shrink or crack and u can wash it, its the stuff they wrap gumball cars in, much like that camo audi at ED38!

I was looking into this also, only problem is, leave the vinyl on too long and it will discolour the paint

 

[Markie68]

ye I think painting it would be better but this is more costly and when it comes to selling up maybe not to everyones taste

It wont discolour the paint at all, well not that bit thats coloured in vinyl, its the rest of if that will fade with exposure to light/sun etc.

Anyway, in regards to stretching etc, yes you do have to watch out for this, but once the vinyl is on it should be ok, so basically if it doesnt look perfect when you pick it up, it wont be two weeks later either imho

I havnt actually got any good pictures of mine but gives you a idea on a red car atleast...

I Was thinking more because of the glue might contaminate the paint after a long period of time?

Ive never had any problems with that on mine and ive seen several different designs on my beeza over the years some included :

Some of those were on for the best part of two years, and the only thing I was worried about was the rest of the paint fading, however that didnt happen

Im getting mine painted
Much better and will probably last longer



Just thought i'd boast lol

As i keep saying mate, go to Grafityp in town and see what they can do. Surely its worth a try before you start heading up to stoke etc
