Thank you so much for such helpful advice and a kind offer! I'm not sure when I'll be doing it, it depends on when I get the material. I've read and watched more on vinyl wrapping recently I'm dreaming about it I was planning on buying enough for 2 goes as I'm pretty handy and very patient, I have my hubby who will be my assistant for the day and we have a nice big, warm garage so time isn't an issue. I'm off to find some Hexis now. Thank you again np worth investing in a heat gun, just a cheapy £10 one from ebay does the job, all this certain temprature i dont think is really that important aslong as you realise it can only get to a certain temprature before it rips. Hairdryer work for some people, but i dont think it heats it enough. If i have time ill do a roof wrap and post the video with me talking over it, good luck

When are you looking at trying this? I have 7m spare white as no1 wants white vinyl, I could quickly make a video tutorial on roof wrapping but wont be for another week

187mph, wont be n/a car so gonna look at some1 fitting turbo or SC for you. 20mpg at 187? I get 20 at 90 lol

I.m.o, best two tone look on any colour zed is black roof, tinted windows, depending on spoiler, black centre otherwise colourcoded to car, if nismo front itd be either black centre or full black. People see black roof as "safe". Its that black fits in perfect for zed roof. Random colours dont work I.m.o and carbon, well I just dont like carbon vinyl at all. Even if it looks real, you still have to say "yeah its wrapped" and that extra 100 or so pound it cost to be wrapped still makes you look like you got tight wallet

The way I do it (some pro wrappers on here may say diff, but if it works it works). I do mine on my own, so I start from middle and come out one side, go round the other side of car and work middle to outter again. Always start from centre, rule of thumb for me. If you have a second guy, hold all 4 corners and pull slightly and gently place onto roof, this will complete 30% of the job, the rest is working middle to outter. You dont want to heat straight away (some do, I dont as I find stretching it becones harder each time you do it, and suddenly at the end you have huge piece of vinyl that you need to spend an hour remoulding to a smaller size. I just watched around 10hours of youtube videos, and gave it a go. Plan 3 hours to do the roof if youve never wrapped before. Wrapping is an overstated skill, you dont need trained on it. You just need time on it to understand whats happening with the vinyl. I.e. knowing when its about to crease and knowing when it looks like itll crease but u can push squeegee hard enough for it not to. Give it a go. The vinyl is only 20quid and a garage will charge 90+. It wont take you 5 attempts to get it right. 3 absolute max 1 if you dont rush

That plus a million pounds?

Theres always alot of negetive response from wrapping companies. To put it simply, most are cowboys. Give it a go yourself. Roof and lip are easy parts to do, just grab some hexis and give it a go

Not sure if my thread is helpful, but its in my sig on d.I.y wrapping. I used hexis and is quite easy to use. Just need 2 people and patience

just out of curiosity, what mg and kit are you using? what eliquids have you used before and how do these compare? Just curious as i know alot of new sites, the eliquid isnt as good as the more experienced sites. Curious about this one as it seems a great price, just hope the liquid is upto my usual

congrats on 2 things, one is giving up. and the other, is on 9mg. thats pretty low for a 23yr smoker. I smoked for 2years and on 24mg, but i doubled up all the time on cigarettes for 2years, between 15 and 30 a day depending what i was doing. It definetly is the way forward, and at the same time its nice to be able to modify little bits of your e-cig and care for it (cleaning etc). little past time

Seems everyone wants to be a driver so far, wheres all the wierdo's like me who want something silly? I'm watching breaking bad at the moment thinking "I'd fricken love that life... for a year."

Im trying to avoid looking at every other topic, because its all parts for sale and I'm the sort of guy who says ill be selling my car, and then buy a mod for it Plus, i like the off topic section as its the only forum im on apart from electronic cigarette forum, and i highly doubt they care about my topics

We all have a song that we just cant get enough of, and is on repeat for hours. Wether its the music video or the song that grabs you, post it here for all to see Heres mine: Its the music video that gets me, (not official but i like the video) and song is just chilled Oomph - German rock band, some great songs, some okay songs. If you dont like rock, most songs wont be for you. [if you post a song. Please provide a youtube link to click on]

From what i can see, theres no tightning bracket or anything. Without a strut, do the two sides of the car actually move that much? I would have presumed it would need to be tightened to make a difference, or am i missing it?

So, off topic. If you could live an alternative life, in a dream world style what would you live? You can use movies to try explain, i.e. would you want to be a hitman, drug dealer, getaway driver etc. Things that you obviously wouldn't do (or maybe some of you are, octet?), but what do you watch and think "god damn I'd love to have that lifestyle". For me, I think being a trained bank robber would be a nuts lifestyle, trained to deceive people, all the money i could dream of and trying to conceal it and launder it etc. Would just be totally different. I hope im not the only psycho on here that thinks like this What would you guys be, if you knew you could get away with it and wouldnt actually happen?

looks nice, but looks like theyve just fabricated over the reflectors. If they removed the reflectors, and made those canard looking things bigger, itd look sweet

I think you nailed it on the head about smokers wanting to be non-smokers. I like the throat hit and cant see myself coming off nicotine in the near future as i do enjoy it. However, if i could turn back time, i would have never picked up a cigarette in the first place and id be non-smoker. But, because ive found the throat hit a nice feeling, i still want that. the cigarettes are just a bad health problem and money issue. Once the ecigs become an issue, i either move onto something different or quit completely.

Has anybody used the MVP2 battery? Im on UKVapers forum and seen constant recommendations for it. My batteries at the moment (evod) are rubbish i.m.o, always highly likely to break. Just curious if anyone has one? Reason it comes up now, i went to zedshed and my evod battery wouldnt charge, and ended up on the smokes for that day (since they chain smoke, its too much temptation without a working ecig)

You can remove the boot for a better finish

Just curious, why would you want to build your own now, when you can buy one already turbo or supercharged at a fraction of the cost, then just change the bits that need changed (if any)?

Depending on age, you can apply to the RAF as a pilot. Actually passing from what ive heard, isnt too hard. Its just getting in. Do your 6years (or 9, depends on contract), then you can leave and practically walk into commercial pilot earning double the wage. However, it is all age dependant. Last time i checked, 23 was the oldest. Driving a zed, im presuming your older than that?

Infantry at the moment, hopefully soon to be scottish police officer

Uh these pics just set me off, ill be getting on this tonight and have a little look, ill cable tie first, see how it looks and if i like people seeing that part of exhaust, then ill grab some clips If my middle sags, ill have a little play around. I cant drill into bumper as i always think about when i sell, but it looks good outcome without touching middle.

He drilled into his bumper :O I dont think i could do that lol, although it might give better finish. I Think i may stick to cable ties
