It's been a few years since I've researched wrapping, I understand the game has moved on considerably. Guessing it's still considerably cheaper than respraying though?

It's been a few years since I've researched wrapping, I understand the game has moved on considerably. Guessing it's still considerably cheaper than respraying though? The company I used give a 5 year warranty against vinyl and installation defects. Hope I'll never need to make a claim, but they seem pretty good to me. Every time I visited the workshop prior to booking in they had various Porsches in for wraps, and the last time I went in they had a nearly new Cayman 718 and a 992 from the same family in for PPF. The vinyl they used (Avery Dennison) has an 8 year manufacturer's guarantee. Had to change to the Avery vinyl from 3m due to finding colour defects part way through on 2 separate rolls! I'm very happy with the results, the only thing I would say is make sure your paint is good first, I had a few untreated stone chips on the front bumper and 1 on the bonnet and I can see where they were through the wrap. My own fault as I intended on sorting them first but ran out of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, yeah I had asked a wrapper (expensive one, does yacht work rather than cars) about working on a slightly rough classic and the advice was “just get it sorted properly first”. The wrap would just colour the cr*p and end up looking worse if not from a distance. Surprised to hear that about 3M. It’s usually spoken about in high regard. Love the colour though, PTS 981 now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mypropaganda Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 I ordered a Cabrio Shield last week and it finally arrived. I don't have a garage or even a dedicated parking space so this will need to do. Seems like good quality and survived some high winds today! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Daniel Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Finally at last my windscreen has been replaced. 3 cancelled visits by the firm sent out by Saga Insurance...it has been a real saga. Also today replaced a rear control arm on the suspension which seems to have solved the billiard ball rattle coming from the rear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing the rear sections of PSE with Topgear switchable, PSE replacement parts on long back order apparently FWIW my car has had replacement PSE rear sections under warranty previously, so maybe an aftermarket one will last longer! 3rd exhaust in 60k... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 also sat awaiting feedback...my phone hasn't rung to tell me Mr exhaust has found a way to fix my PSE but I have been told to this morning that my replacement suspension is waiting for me. Might as well get both done at the same time as its' all rear of car (man maths or I'll buy that OLED TV too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 removed the shyatee Isudar car-play board and wiring and fixed the "open circuit" on my OEM sat nag. Also picked up a pair of new X73 rear dampers to replace one that got pot holed. I was told 33 weeks back order, so quite chuffed to get 2 out of the last 8. Still waiting for the drop links from AutoDoc "stock" Now I need to sort out the zorst and get some ramp time, ooh,,, and maybe have a go at the delaminated door card.

moospeed Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Don't remember ever doing this before in 10k+ miles... Went for a country blat, as usual Sports Mode and Manual. However going through a village with some horses trotting in front I elected to switch off the PSE from shotgun scare-mode. Forgot to switch it back on so it was still on quiet when I was next going about the business of blatting. It was pretty good actually, hear more of the induction maybe? Not sure but can't believe I haven't tried this combo before. Maybe I have and the sound is just more different between the 2.7 and 3.4 but I quite liked it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypropaganda Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Refitted my ISUDAR carplay board after receiving the new type of harness with a filtered power cable. The board kept cutting out after hard acceleration and this has sorted it for me. Very happy with it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
