£1k for a decent wrap, its not some cheap thing to add.

Temporary colour change so no legal obligation to tell the DVLA and insurers vary, best to ask yours.

Also a wrap is not cheap unless you get a crap one, and while they do last a while, they arent permanent. 5 years/50K miles and it will probably need redoing.

The Inozetec wrap material is around £950 for a roll to do one car, it’s expensive but quality looks good but saying that Hexis looks good too and is about £170 for a roll.

Then fitting is around £1500.

For £2500 you could find someone to respray it to a higher standard than new-car-orangepeel in a colour of your choice.

cheaper than a wrap i guess, change it every 10 years or so ...

Would devalue the car.

The E46 M3 cab still looks great after all these years.

First wash in a while, after taking it through a car wash (I know), the kids helped me wipe off the water and get to the areas the car wash missed.

Plan it get it detailed soon, the photo makes the paint look cleaner than it is.

Washed it today. Sun was out. Already dirty again. Used it to take the christmas trees to the tip.

On the look out for some shocks and springs.

I’ve always loved a nicely looked after cab. Is that your work ride, or do you like using the bus lanes?
