What a fun car to drive around in the Florida sunshine (well, if I was a 17 y/o hippy chick :wink: ). 8)

Wonder whose signature that is on the dash :?:

Wrapping's a mystery to me, sorry Mike! I do wonder what effect it has on the paint though. :shock:

provided you use decent quality vynil it actually protects the paint really well! just make sure you don't apply it over fresh/soft paint (<12mo old) otherwise when you take it off in the future you might end up with a silver car :lol:

wrapping, plenty of ful wrapped cars out there ... I've yet to see a really god one though. Heard a few bad stories of pain damage when removed :(

Don't we have a DDK'er with a 356a who does wraps ?

Never really worked out why she was asking the Lord for a Mercedes Benz when she had a perfectly acceptable 356 (albeit psychedelic-ised). :?

Maybe it's because of the pychedelic-ised-ness that she wanted a Benz?

Wow !!! I love it.... but then i would i suppose. As long as paint is strong then it can be removed without harm and rightly said it will protect the paint.

am taking the 356 to Porsche day at Brooklands May 26th - is anyone else going?

Here's a couple of videos of us. One for Fifth Gear TV Programme (bad car) and one of us wrapping a (sorry about using the F word on DDK) F*rra*i 430 Spider...

We have also wrapped a chrome R8 Spyder for Elton John and a matte black Nissan GTR for Jenson Button - both on our website www.fxuk.net
