Re: Matt Black Wrap
Wondering if I could get the same effect on the rear end of my S1 with a few tins of spray on hammeright and some masking tape...
Who gives a monkeys about resale, I'll probably wipe it out at some point anyway before I sell it..

Time to buy was a few months back, there was loads of RS4's at stupid prices, people desp to sell. Lot less cars on the market now (esp avants) and prices have risen
(thankfully!) over the past couple of months??? If you want a closer look just give me a shout.
Still a great car for the money, not expecting the car to depreciate much in the forseable future (Hopefully
) hence why I have decided to keep it and do the wrap!
Good luck on the search - its an awesome car!

Re: Matt Black Wrap
Thanks!
Nope - thought about it and about to buy a tin of matt spray paint!
Left them off the back!

Looks good. I'm back to thinking about this / striping on my s1 to disguise the crap paint at the front...

Sorry, did you say something?jasonliddell wrote:I'm really interested to know the answer to this, Barrie. Be impressive if every last bit is covered... or is it just the external surfaces IYSWIM?jasonliddell wrote:Out of interest, when a car is fully wrapped like this what happens in all the fiddly detail bits when doors/boot opened, eg. door sills/frames, locks, etc? Do you see the original colour or is every last inch wrapped?
