sedith Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I was wondering what is car wrapping? Thought it wrapping one us as a a present. So its when you wrap a car in vinyl ... but why would you do that ... is it like 'Fablon'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrapping a larger panel in particular is a two person job. http://www.sheffieldautofx.co.uk/ This lad is reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedith Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 But nobody has answered me, I've Googled it, why would you want to wrap your car in vinyl unless for advertising purposes? Is it the same mentality as taking all the badges off your car and filling to holes with Isopon ... generally on old bangers such as elderly VW Golf's ... never understood that one either ... ah well, must be my age?

Worth checking! From personal experience with warranty's .. if the dealer can get out of it, they probably will? I had a local Renault dealer try to get out of changing a wheel cylinder because I had third party brake discs fitted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
