Here are some other examples of wrap. Do bear in mind that even gloss wraps are not as glossy as paint.

If you want to make a trip out to Los Angeles I highly recommend my good friends shop out here. I’ve know them for 4 years now, they have wrapped and tinted multiple high end cars. They had a brand new Pagani in the shop a few months ago and a few 918’s have rolled through their shop as well!

Check out Yiannmize on YouTube or Instagram. They are here in the UK but you could steal some ideas.

In my part of the globe, the paper lasts for about 2 years; after which we are advised to remove it as the glue can start to deteriorate and may affect the car's paint. Not sure if this is true, as my wrap lasted about 12 months before I sold (and regret!) the car.
What sort of car is that? Looks good

Thanks Guy, that's a 3-door VW Polo GTI and the most fun hot-hatch I've had in awhile!

Anyone vinyl wrap their car?

I put a 3m clear bra on my ex’s 2011 SL550 and my Vette for the track. I know it’s by no way the same thing but thought I’d share. After a while it turned yellow. So I removed them and just lived with rock chips on the vette. I do think a high quality full wrap looks nice. As long as you stay off tracks.
