Thinking of wrapping my Volvo 855 :) There's loads of colours but I've narrowed it down to just cheap material ;) I quite fancy a more darker yellow than the normal yellow.
Here are my colour choices:

Any photoshops of 850's in the above colours may help :p
Whole reason I'm doing this, is my paint is a bit tatty and flat and it's really beyond a polish in some places.
All inputs welcome

I quite fancied having my bonnet tailgate and roof wrapped in carbon fibre , the actual vinyl looked a bit like that stuff your granny lined shelves with, so I didnt bother, plus it would have looked a bit like a giant corsa chavmobile.

Probably make my paint nice and shiny again haha! Dark green metallic.
I do fancy the sky blue now that I've seen a few pics, I'll ask if there's a gloss version of it.
So between Sunflower Yellow and Sky Blue. I'll probably be tinting my lights as well a little.
As for the material, it's like £400. 20m worth, I'll be getting a hand from a wrapper so there will be labour as well, who knows how much that'll be hehehe.

One of my mates had aHonda estate that had been professionally wrapped in white . It was really effective and it lasted well it looked like a hard thing to do well.
You should post up a thread on how to do it I for one would be interested. My bonnet and roof need something to tidy them up .

I'll see what I can do, might make a video if I'm allowed :p
It's definitely a 2 man job to get a good finish. especially with a long roof like the 850. (and probably most old volvo estates)
be a while yet anyway, I've yet to receive my suspension from Demon Tweeks (Koni str.t with H&R springs). Think I'll be pinging them an email soon asking what the craic is!
