I have posted some pictures of the Clio being wrapped in the "What have you done today" thread.
But I feel this needs a thread of its own, Mainly because I want to show it off; Indeed I'm that sad.
Why did I have it wrapped?
There are a few answers to that question:
1. The PlastiDip coating was starting to Bubble.
2. I have always wanted to do it properly.
3. I won a facebook Comp to get a car wrapped for free.
What colour did I Pick and why?
I decided on Matt Anthracite, This was the nicest colour from the selection I was offered for free.. I originally set my sights on a gloss, but after much advice from people who had had cars wrapped I was warned away from Gloss vinyl and steered towards matt. And the colour just popped out at me with its pearl like effect.
-----------------------
On Saturday I made the trip to Huntingdon with my wife following behind in her Megane, Was a decent 79Mile trip to drop the car off with a couple of stops for lunch on the way.
Was met by 3 nice blokes who had a look over the car in its current state, Bits of WD40 in the grooves and Plastidip hidden in places that needed removing..
Was informed there would be a charge to remove said Dip and Oil which i was happy with.
I also opted for a slight tint of the rear 3 windows to set off the new Wrap.
On Saturday night I was sent two photos of the progress, It seems these chaps work late.
Now that's as far as this story goes, They don't want to send me more pictures as "it would ruin the moment" and i agree.
So here are Two Photos of the Progress, I will update this thread with a set more when I get the car back tomorrow. They also have some extra Progress Photos I will be able to get too.
