Vinyl Wrap Question....

[RedRobin]

....

So, admit it! Who has wrapped themselves in black vinyl? I hope you waxed first

The Recaro Sports I'm getting from jonnyc have very glossy black plastic(?) backs and I'm thinking it would be a good idea and look better if just the glossy parts were vinyl wrapped.



Matt black is the obvious finish but I think I know what Hurdy would do

Raccoon seem to be very experienced and they have a franchise(?) near Phylis. Does anyone have any experience of them?

Many thanks

with something like that how would the wrap hold up to people scuffing with shoes as they get in and out - as access is limitted with the recaros

trying not to bring doom and gloom...just thinking out loud

i think they look good as they are tbh

Raccoon did my car  and White Gti car and have done  thousands of cars

Perfect solution for my wife's R32!  I've been thinking about how to protect the Recaros in the R32 for a while and the need got urgent this weekend when I saw a tiny hairline scratch on one of the backs    I was thinking of stonechip film from Halfords but it would look tacky.  Vinyl wrap seems excellent - can do them deep blue pearlescent too!!!

Who is Racoon and where is he/they?

....My GTI is a 5-door, so there shouldn't be scuffing, but it's a good point.

The glossy backs may look better in reality than in pics - I'm just dreaming thinking about them before I get them.

They have franchises(?) spread around the UK.

Oh.. I thought that pic was of them newly fitted onto your car Robin.  I was wondering why you had no back seats and thought you'd gone hardcore (not in a sexual sense of course  ) or something

Brilliant!  They're local.  Thanks, I'll be calling them.

I know you like your decals RR , so maybe you could consider a GTI text , or a symbol or RACELINE etc vertical or horizontal on the seat back?  Would need to be subtle though

They dont look good in reality, i am not a fan of the black back, i have enquired already about getting mine sprayed and because of the fitting at the top, the seats need to stripped for a pro job. The vinyl could be a winner if it can be made to look good at the top.
I have been thinking about getting some airbrush artwork on mine, but my imagination has been letting me down and cant think of a design i like that would also suit the interior of the car.

....Or a message for my backseat passengers - Something subtle like "FANCY A F*CK?"

Strange.. I've got NOD32 but no alarms went off?  I don't use Google Chrome because its a trojan horse sending info of all your online activity back to Google HQ - otherwise I'd use it.
