Opinions on vinyl wrapping

t4tomo · Apr 14th, 2012, 12:19

I just bought an 05 V70R in magic blue. The bonnet needs respraying (as some kind person had keyed it in the past) plus a couple of scrubs on the corners could do with a touch up. The rest of the paint work is OK, but not brilliant, interior is excellent.

As an alternative to getting it part resprayed, I was considering a vinyl wrap, either in asimilar blue as it has the blue leather seats and interior or possibly a gloss carbon fibre wrap (or is this too bling for a volvo).

Thoughts?

anyone know what it costs or can recommend anywhere?

Cheers

There has been a couple of Vinyl wrap threads over the last number of months so have a search for them. I found them and the links in them to good.

I'm not so sure Carbon Fibre would suit a V70 too well though, but you never know until you see it. There are almost limitless possibilities with a wrap though and the threads I read before the places done a really good professional job.

Picked it up yesterday so it will now be out and about. Kids are very keen for me to do the school run in it!
