Anyone on here not long had their v12v wrapped in orange?

There was a thread on here a while ago about this very car wrapping process too. I'll see if I can find it.

Im not the biggest fan of the shade of orange used, but it could just be the pics. Its def a bit of a contrast to its original colour.

That is amazing

Is it me, or does the finish look, well, a bit plastic-like.

Can you polish wrapped cars and get the same kind of gleam you do off normally painted cars?

[RichV12]

That would be my car
Currently has 11 layers of polish on it and has just come out for the nice weather. Pics dont do it justice.....

[paddy328]

Now that pics looks much better than the ones in Robbies unit. Seems a lot lighter (like the Lambo orange) in the sun.

That's what I don't like about wrapped cars. Every one I've seen doesn't seem to have the depth of a painted car. Does it damage the paint if it's removed?

Inspired by the Orange one seen in press shots?

I hate myself for pausing over the half completed shot - bonnet and roof wrapped, the rest as Gaydon intended. I hate myself even more for going back to it and deciding that I liked it.

Slightly aside...how does one feel about the EU reg plates ???

Naff or a nice bit of added colour ???

When I renew my plates I'm thinking of getting them as I quite like them.

It would however be remiss of me not to approach forum members on this topic, lest they be perceived as, well, crap

[paddy328]

I quite like them to be honest.

Looks fantastic out in the sun, almost like the lambo orange. The inside pictures did not do it justice. A bold move, I salut you

Can anyone confirm if the original colour was hammerhead or tungsten or meteorite silver?
Thanks - Phil

[BingoBob]

Looks like meteorite to me.

Hah, looks Tungsten to me. Perhaps the owner can comment

[RichV12]

Hammerhead.

Phil I'll get you the rest of the details ASAP.
Thanks

Thanks Rich. How is it living with an ultra-bright in-ya-face orange beast??!!

[RichV12]

I love it. Just wish people would stop jumping in the road to take a picture. Love it or hate it. I love it. Looks great in the sun but I don't have a decent camera to take any worthwhile shots. Need to find a professional close to me who can take a few with a decent background.
Awesome car, now an awesome colour!

Oh and now it has the quicksilver exhaust it's even better .
