    vinyl wrapping west yorks

    Hi all, my s60 has a black and gold theme. Gold body, gloss black wheels, black tints and a gloss black rear spoiler, so was thinking of getting my bonnet wrapped in carbon fibre effect, has anyone done theirs and who did it, and how much. I am in Leeds/bradford area.
    Cheers

    Er.....PICS!!!!!..

    Don't think Vynl wrapping is too expensive, after all it's just a big sticker.

    Full car wrap can cost £1500-2000, so it is not a cheap job..
    Not sure how much just a bonnet would be.

    SOmeone told me they only last for a few years - not entirely sure about that one though - just make sure there is no untreated chips/rust underneath

    I saw a pug 106 done and you could tell it was only a wrap and poorly fitted at that round the edges.

    Personally I would save the money for a real C/F bonnet or just do without.

    A half wrapped car is just as bad to clean, I have to watch where the polish goes!
