718as Posted October 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 if you've had a car for a few years, you might decide to change the colour rather than change the car to keep you interested I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
718as Posted October 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2020 Then again, I heard ppl buy new cars and then wrap them straight away into something else. If you got the money.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless time was an issue and you needed the car straight away in whatever colour, then I could understand going for a wrap perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A closer look tends to reveal the shoddiest jobs, but even the best tend to suffer a bit after a couple of years, as edges start lifting and nicks develop etc. My fear is what happens when they try to remove it, if your paint underneath is perfect (never touched up) then you may be ok, but even then it will reveal any damage incurred putting the wrap on (knife damage etc). Knifes are used only over edges,plastic tools are used for getting the air out under the wrap - mine has no damage,of course,you get what you pay for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that purple... I like the idea of that, maybe something a bit more pastel shade and not metallic. I once met David Yu (Evo contributor) with his Godzilla GTR and noted that the wrap was peeling off in various places. Looked really shoddy. His answer to it was that he "drives very very fast, faster than most people could comprehend". Wasn't sure if he was joking but didn't appear to be, came across as a bit of an arrogant twit with a tatty looking car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
