Ekona Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Depends on where you go and what quality of wrap you want plus how far you want the wrap to go, but you should be looking at around £2K-£3K as a guideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can probably get a mate to do it with crepe paper for £50, but if you want a proper job... My old BMW 6er was just shy of £3K, but the quality was immaculate and the wrap was flawless despite living outside and having a particularly bluff front end. Some wraps I've seen have been peeling in 6 months, which I would never be happy with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbad Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 My wrap was about 2.5k but absolutely immaculate black gold dust 3m wrap and can be safely/professionally taken off within 5 years without damage to underlying paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 In all seriousness as long as the wrap is removed carefully with a bit heat then I'm sure it would be fine, but I've seen 350Z paint come straight off after just removing a small piece of vinyl put on for a Le Mans trip (my own car) so I'd be very wary of ever removing it. Certainly I never intended the BMW one to ever come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Muxlow Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 It cost around £2000 for mine with a few extra painted bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz8235 Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Another question on wraps (cars booked in), until I can get my garage cleared out the car will be outside, as it is now, how do you look after a wrap ? Snowfoam, wax, polish ??? Any tips would help, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Snow foam and a regular wax is fine. Always use the TBM though as otherwise it’ll scratch horribly: Mine was immaculate for two years this way, then I had a buyer coming round last minute so gave it a very quick wash with a single bucket and there were score marks everywhere Never ever polish it. Ever. Don’t even put a compound bottle near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
