    Since the Datto's still in the shop and the beater now suggests I paint the rest of the front for an extra $500,due to stonechips on the RH guard and bonnet, I thought I'd ask here how successful those of you who've had cars wrapped is/
    Gizz reckons it's the ducks guts and his cars get driven,who else?

    Klink I had my 911 done .

    Whole front, bonnet, both guards, mirrors and A pillars.

    Cost $1,850

    It's money very well spent and I would put it on every car.

    Be aware however that the cost will increase if there isn't a pattern already cut for that particular model. Then it becomes a one off application.

    Or you could just put a car bra on the front which would be cheaper. Only downside is you have to take it on and off.

    Neither will protect you from a 'Roo however.

    it's absolutely the ducks guts Simon. I wrapped my Golf from new, did 2 GG's and plenty of fast country miles. After 4 years the wrap was dinged and torn by dozens of stones, but when I was ready to sell the car I simply peeled it off with a hair dryer and the paint underneath was unmarked. Best $1100 I ever spent.

    btw Simon wait a couple of months after painting before you put the wrap on. Paint takes a while to fully cure.
