   Ive wanted this done for while now, but a place was recommended by my bruvs mate, so i went along today and they are going to cover it in vinyl for me in just over a week(Not this weekend the following saturday) for £75,,i know it may sound a bit pricey but they are goin to fit it for me,,and i have a sunroof and ariel mount for them to go around so its a little bit harder for them but im hoping it will look ace,Ill put pics up when it is done

   Yeah thats cool man,, my mate recommended these lads and seem decent and have alot of customers so they must be alright. they do alot of stuff like tinting too, but for the rear quarters they charge £25 each and then the rear is bigger so thats £50,,but ill see how they do wwith the vinyl and then i may get them to do the tints too,,but ive heard about a bloke in wolvo who is mobile and does a whole saxo for £80, But im not sure yet.

    cheers mate,,yeah i think it looks ace,,it cost me £70, the bloke said that if alot of people want it done in one area he'd gladly travel as like group buy kinda thing. He also did a blue lip on my alloys with blue chevrons in the centre caps in a total of £80

    hahaha,,i think it looks good for vinyl,,nah this vinyl is decent,,apparently it will last between 5-7 years,,and if there is any problems i can take it back to the company they said theyll fix it and sort it out for me They used the same vinyl doing the lip on my alloys and centre caps too
