Car wrappers

Hey all,

Thinking of doing something silly and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a car wrapper?

I still have a little distrust around the whole thing, but that's just due to the very early horror stories, I'm sure it's all been worked out now :)

So, if anyone has anyone they'd be willing to recommend for a quote please let me know.

Cheers :)

-Mark.

Chameleon Vehicle wraps in Dundee (yes Dundee. I was as surprised as anyone) ;)

Sean, the guy who does the wrapping is one of the top dogs in vehicle wrapping and flies all over the place doing high-end stuff for the likes of the Gumball rally folk and all that jazz.

I've often thought of a wrap... I really wanted a chrome Orange Exige but settled for carbon grey after prioritising condition mileage and spec over colour... Not sure it's wise or not.

A guy in my work is thinking of setting up a business using the Plasticoat spray on cars. He reckons it's better than a wrap and cheaper. Mind he hasn't done the course yet...

I was trying to convince him that he should paint Elises cheap because they are so small. I even offered to let him do mine as a trial, he'll surely need something to practice on.

I'll let you know how I get on.

I thought your car had one of those grey textured wraps?

Anyone know the costs of fitting these wraps to an elise?

Circa £1400 - £1600 for a full elise wrap. ...or so I have been told in the past.

I was thinking about it when I got the paint touched up over the winter, even did a mock up:

But yes, was speaking to the guy as we shared a garage, his was just a wrap as well and it reignited the desire....as long as the price is right :wink:
