Steel silver with black roof yes/no???

Vinyl wrap?

At least then if you don't like, peel it off and you're back to square one... or if a prospective buyer didn't like it, they'd have the option.

I'm liking the carbon wrap on the roof I wonder would the seam show where the rear quarter meets the wing? and I'd still need to get something sorted with the roof before this could be applied as the lacquer is blistering and a few little surface rust spots. Does any one know of anywhere here that does vinyl wrapping in the North??

[colm_mcm]

anyone that does vehicle signwriting full wraps should be able to help you.

There was a guy doing a carbon roof overlay on the FTOOC, he was looking for buyers before he would make them. If carbon is what your after it might be worth a look.
See this thread:

He was looking for orders before the 1st of June so it might be too late.

I remember seeing that he was lookin a pretty penny. I'm not looking to spend big money, only doing this cause I have to sort the roof just thought it would cool to do something a little different. If I was gonna spend big money on anything, it would be wheels.

[karlf]

Let me know what wheels your after and I'll ask my sis's fella to get a price on them for you. He knows a guy that sells them, might save a few quid. In saying that the price you's pay up the north you'll probably still get them cheaper.

Just for info gary, painting the roof, pillars and mirrors black will cost you about £200-250

I got it quoted about a fortnight ago with a guy I know, so that might be a little cheaper.

To Karl, cheers for the offer mate, gonna hold out for a set of secondhand Enkei's off E Bay. I've spent about 2 grand down the years on new wheels, last time I swore never again
To Tony, where did you get that quote and could you reccommend their work??

Website is about 3yrs out of date, he's round the corner from my house, is ALWAYS busy, lots of expensive motors in about, does a lot of custom work.

He was on that local car show "petrol heads" I think it was with your woman Caroline Stewart. He done the paint wortk on it. Any work Ive seen of his is good.
