Roof Vinyl wrap

[sniperftw]

1st question.

I have alumina orange FR with k1 kit......... Which wrap will look best?

Matte black
Gloss black
Carbon Fibre

2nd question.

In the west midlands area anyone know any good vinyl wrappers?

3rd question

How much should i be looking at for just a roof wrap!


(please nobody comment saying " why dont you do a search? " because i have already! haha

Im sure it would roughly be just over or around 100 buks.

I personally think that gloss black would go great with orange!

they are in hinckley and burton i think but its about £190 for the roof.

Maybe i was a bit out with the price lol, but that looks great!

 

[GrahamFR]

yeah it does, seeing stuff like thats makes me wish i hadnt gone for black this time round

I know I keep banging my gums about this, but if you have a garage/use of a unit......it really is not that hard to wrap a roof!

A mate and I wrapped my Leon mk1 roof and spoiler in an afternoon with £50 of top quality vinyl, which gave us two goes at the roof and 3 at the spoiler

I used a company called 'The Vinyl Corporation' for the order, using a gloss black outdoor, heavy duty style vinyl

As long as you 'wet' wrap, take your time, in a dust/wind free area with a hair dryer/heatgun it might well be worth saving the 140 quid!

i know what it'll look like.....the dogs bollocks!!!

Take Jim's advice and DIY it then! If its not 100% perfect then either leave it until you can justify getting it redone, or rip it off again!

A mate of mine has a black RS4, vinyl wrapped the whole thing white but has a black carbon-effect roof - looks awesome.

Arghhh ****kkkkk!!! lol but im shite with DIY ! literally..... im the kinda person who builds a shelf sideways.....

 

[Wire_Gal]

Have a go! I almost did mine at the start of the year but silly arse didn't think about the cold weather affecting the vinyl! Riiiiiiipp! Will do again now it's nice.

It was going on so well too, I deffo would try yourself!

I was quoted £170 for gloss black but I cant think who it was.

Sounds sweet! Is the roof carbon effect, the textured matt finish or flat shiney look?

Aerial base unbolts from the inside under the trim, then just leaves a hole in the roof, so you just vinyl over, cut an 'X' for the bolt and crack on with refitting!

Well done YOU for taking the plunge!

This is for an "alumina orange" FR? As the piccy in your profile shows Candy White?
Also what colour Vinyl did you decide upon for your roof?

....you might also want your front bumper lip doing in the same colour?

 

[marks_leon]

Who quoted that, Od get mine done has well. Im close to you??

 

[SeanCorky]

I got quoted £50 +VAT for the strip by the number plate at a place by mine!!!!!!

 

[sniperftw]

Yeah sorry aint updated that pic yet, im a lumina orange FR with K1 kit
