Ok ok,

I didn't know we were being judged by when we were conceived (or how!)

It sounds interesting, I'll have a Google Laughing Bushy

What's the damage left when unwrapping a car. Is it like when you pull window tint of incorrectly.
Just curious

you have to re-soften the vinyl by warming it up and then it just peels off.. ... - .- -.

It's basically shrink wrap, not glue for instance.
They lay film over panel and use heat guns , the trim off excess

The bloke told me people get brand new Ferraris, Veyrons etc done from the showroom...
Drive for a while, take wrap off, and paint underneath is factory fresh with no dirt, bugs, small chips.. Hence preserve value

A customer of theirs apparently seeks out less desirable colour cars, buys at a discount , then wraps in (ahem) "fashionable" colour Whistle Alcohol and eBay is never a good mix

This is the best part about wraps, no damage left underneath. Temporary colour change so no need to inform DVLA or insurance ( other than to recoup cost in an accident).

And like E4 said completely protects your own pain from damage/rust. Thumbs Up Bushy

I have no idea what you mean by "in chicken" Paul. Shocked

If you want a vinyl placed on your car with chickens on it, I'm sure some company will do it for you. Bushy

A friend of mine has a well established business doing window tinting and vinyl wrapping and has done many prestigious cars including Ferraris, Range Rovers and porsches. Only snag is that he is based in the Wirral. I can pass you his details if you like though.
