Best ask nousey. He keeps masquerading his vehicle as the batmobile because it's gloss black.  :grin: But  i've yet to see him dressed as the caped crusader :P

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Buy a dictionary first tho bud.... :pomppomp:

As the previous poster said ask Greeners.

But if your car is continually being scratched or marked won't having it wrapped be pointless? :smiley:

lol sorry, mixture of bad spelling and a rubbish keyboard.

I thought that vinyl was less susceptible to scratches?

That's what i was thinking,

Get the scratches repaired and have and have a rethink about wrapping it.

Is applying vinyl wrap an easy task as I`ve never paid much attention to such things. Must go off and search . . .


ie. I`m wanting to wrap the front mask (matt black) on the Golf and I`m wondering if it`s a DIY job or is it best left to a proffesional?

I saw a guy on e bay who has an R32, He said he wrapped it white, but took it off recently, and it has left him with 3 panels needing respraying as the wrap pulled the paint off with it. (though it could just be down o how he removed it.
