crimson Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Hi all So My question is ; Do people still do vnyl wraps on their Scoobys ? When i was younger i used to see lots of cars with wraps and vnyls (the whole tokyo drift culture) But now i have not seen a single car with anything on it. I want to get an anime sytle wrap or a DC or Marvel style wrap I know in Japan its the done thing (was there a few months ago and i couldnt find a non wrapped scooby or race car) What are the views on this here in the uk ? 2
Xander Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I don't see it done much but a friend of mine dose it and I made a film for him of a full carbon wrap on a sl55. Looked really good.
quit Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Not my kinda thing really , my mates car is wrapped but that's to protect the paint underneath
Gambit Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Looks good that mate, I think the problem is there is a select few in the uk nowadays that have managed to become keyboard warriors on the internet, and get some amusement about belittling peoples cars if it doesn't go with the grain of their taste as to what cars should look like. WRC stickers being the biggest target. But I know blokes well into their 50's that still have stickers on the cars, and really doesn't bother me I like to see everyones choices of cars taste, I think it should always be a personal thing a car, otherwise we end up being all the same. :) I've seen a few of the Hulk design cars around here but don't really see anything else now a days. We had a guy from Japan about a year ago who lives in Sheffield he had a full anime design on his Scoob looked good. So I'd say we do have a few about but not many, so I'd do it if thats what you want to do, stop the UK roads being dull and boring with standard looking cars :D 1
quit Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 My mate had a stagea with a full foil wrap all manga type thing and was lovely 5 years ago
Gambit Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Last one I remember I liked the look of was an rs escort with a 7up full rap had fizzy bubbles and everything haha.
Xander Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I have a thought about it as a colour change and to protect the paintwork as this car is in really good condition. I would say go for it if you like it. You will stand out at meets and have a car people talk about. Remember it's not what other people think of your car its what you think to it. If it makes you happy your doing it right. 1
crimson Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks for the support guys I think i will get it done, since i always wanted it done and it would look stupid on my family car, this is my car so i should do what i want :) I like anime, star wars so i may do something like that when i buy it. I wonder what it will do to my insurance quote, i am getting around 1.2K fully comp on the standard unmodified car, yikes thats expensive for insurance 1

I was quoted £1300 from a comparison site and found a price for half of that from specialist. 1
crimson Posted February 21, 2015 Author Posted February 21, 2015 Can you name me any of the insurance companies Adrian Flux have quoted £3k with a change to alloy wheels and spoiler Unchanged its around £1100 now that i have called to confirm The problem is now no one does insurance for vinyl wraps, they all stated that they would decline the insurance if any stickers even the WRC ones were put on it !I have phoned 4 major insurers :Adrian flux, privilege, My motor quote and Churchill everyone is stating that its a performance enhancing mod !
Gambit Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Have a look at green light insurance mate. They gave me my all time lowest price to date. I just stuck with the NFU because I've been with them for so long.
Scooby Pete Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Some wraps look good some look maff it's all down to personal taste, if you like it that's all that matters. If you get the stance and wheels looking right wraps really compliment some cars. One of my all time fave scoobs was wrapped. Regards insurance try Keith Micheals, they specialise in modified cars and a lot of my local club memebers including myself use them. They don't charge the earth and are a good company to deal with. http://www.keithmichaels.co.uk

Gambit Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 If you get it done I want to see a picture that's pretty cool. 1
hails555 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 My car is a rb replica 2001 Monte Carlo and I wouldn't change it for the world every single tine I get in my car it turns heads !!!

Like all graphics on cars each to there own but a head turner.......only Down side I'm stopped where ever I go !!! Lol xxxx Scooby love 1
Gambit Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Fully agree let the haters hate. Or do us all a favour and they can buy an x type diesel jaguar [emoji6] I like seeing wrc replica cars for me it just shows the following subaru still has for its wrc history.
crimson Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 Sad news :( No insurance company will insure the car with VinylAll the specialist insurers require the car to be owned and driven for a year before they can insure me Adrian Flux have quoted £3100 with vinyl and a £3000 excess !!Churchill and privilege are both £1000 fully comp for the car undecorated !
crimson Posted February 24, 2015 Author Posted February 24, 2015 [emoji22] sorry to hear that mate At least i can still get the wrx and then worry about vnyls in a years time 1
Gambit Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 That's the best way to look at it mate. I'll still look forward to seeing in in a years time [emoji106]
