Mate you've done a quality job on this car, nice one!

Just a quick question. Where did you buy your wraps from?

Cheers

Ah right thanks, how long does each wrap last? Would you say it's worth doing over painting?

The wrap is meant to be good for 3-4 years. I wrapped itmyself for cost reasons. Roll of vinyl fir £15. But got it painted. As part of a deal so dudnt say no

Don't vinyl it, just take them off, key them up, prime, spray gloss black (or your choice) and gloss and stick them back on. That's what I did for mine.

You know how to remove the letters?

Hmm, last year or year before I did actually make a thread for a 'how to' guide but it would seem as usual mods have deleted it!

To remove the letters you can use a heat gun or hair dryer to loosen the sticky pads of the lettering, next thing is to use something like floss to go behind the letter and drag down to remove them. You'll be left with sticky residue but this comes off easily with some polish.

This may help a bit

once the letters are off, key them up using sand paper, then primer spray which I got from Halfords, gloss black spray then once dry gloss spray. You'll need more sticky tape to put them back on. I just used number plate tape.

Sorry to drag up such an old post but was there any legal issues with the front lights being sprayed? I. Thinking of doing it and tried to read up and seeing contrasting views.
