how much?

I'd love my car to be white.

My only other thing is the light doesn't seem to reflect too well after the wrap, compared to metalic / pearl paint

the last ever batch were all in white, but they offered them in white any way

"To commemorate the production run of the S2000, Honda offered a special variant called the S2000 Ultimate Edition for the European market, and a similar GT Edition 100 variant in the UK. These editions feature a removable hard top, Grand Prix White paint scheme, red leather interior, and numbered plaques"

Only in Britain would vinyl wrapping a car be considered cool!

Seriously, we do wrappings at work and it does NOT look good in real life. It looks like a flat, cheap, half arsed respray without painted shuts.

And unless no panel of your car is bigger than 1,2 x 1,2 m then you WILL get lines where the vinyl overlaps.

Vinyl wrapping is for the internet crowd who only need their car to look good in pictures.

This is honestly the most mind boggling craze to ever hit the car scene...

Rant over!

I'm not taken by the whole wrap thing in real life it has to be said - some cars in photos do look pretty cool.

For example, that matt black Astra VXR from the weekend on Regals stand - looks quite good in photos, in person it looked absolutely awful.

Wrapping is for the internet generation. It looks good in photos you post on forums and that's about it.

You can't polish, wax or treat the vinyl in any way. You can only wash it and by doing so you will scratch the fuck out of it due to the soft nature of the vinyl.

Also, it does NOT protect the paintwork as some people and companies will claim. Though the paint may be safe from sunlight and soft scratches, removing the vinyl and adhesive is unbelievably hard on the paint job.
