The 172 that isnt a sheep......

[Knuckles]

Looks different in every light, I like

 

[ElkWorks]

yeh, whole car

what wrong with wrapping a monaco? as ive explained earlier. its a gorgeous colour, when its clean. but i hate it the rest of the time, plus, being a wrap, I can just take it off if i come to sell it.

 

[ljohny]

This is true it does look a bit turd when filthy. How easy is it to use the wrap? And where do you get it from? As mine is in desperate need of some paint work and this is a cheaper alternative.

I wasn't saying it in a negative way. I always thought that stuff is extremely difficult to use. Good on ya!

 

[ElkWorks]

wrapping aint as easy as it looks, and this film is deffo not one for beginners. Its awful, feels like a polymeric 20 micron sort of thing.

 

[ElkWorks]

bit more done

dunno why the door looks a different colour, because it isnt in realy life!

 

[bionic]

i really like that colour vinyl its different

 

[Knuckles]

172 raider?

 

[Knuckles]

May be a daft question but i think youd be the best to ask... how possible/difficult/sensible/beneficial would it be to wrap alloys?

 

[ElkWorks]

It can be done, but water transfer is probably a better way for patters or certain finishes

 

[davo172]

Fantastic mate when will it be finished can't wait to see it

 

[joshhicky]

Looks smart as mate cant wait for more updates

 

[PP200t]

This looks awesome ant, your really cracking on with it! can't wait to see the finished article!!!

 

[ElkWorks]

cheers dudes, front bumper done today, so gonna stick that back on tomorrow and do the door handles, and skirts if i get time. then its just the rear bumper to finish as im leaving the gloss black roof. gonna drop the front coilovers another inch or so as well to give it a better stance.

piers, pop by anytime fella if you wanna see it

 

[ElkWorks]

finished today

gonna re-wrap the tailgate as im not happy with it, and possible re-wrap the doors, but got another car to wrap in the same colour first, so i'll see how much is left over.

 

[Toby]

Awesome!

How much would you charge to do this. Not for my own car, just generally interested? And time scale?

 

[ElkWorks]

im cheaper than the pros as i dont have the overheads they do, and 2-3 days is about right

 

[Tombola]

Nice colour choice!

 

[Keith185]

Amazing colour and awesome work

 

[Marky_]

Like that! Reminds me of the M3 competition in matte grey.

More pics please.

 

[ElkWorks]

cheers for the comments dudes

only got one more at the moment as i had to crack on with another wrap after I finished this one.

yes, the numberplate sucks, but i aint got a proper one, and my cutter is busted at the moment so i couldnt make a new one

 

[PP200t]

Looks awesome ant, great job there!!

 

[Stu.]

That looks great!! Would suit a non-smoothed bumper and silver wheels IMO

 

[ElkWorks]

im not a fan of the smoothed bumper, i'll be honest, but couldnt find anyone that wanted a part ex on a stock one.

silver wheels is on the list at some point, but these kind of suit the colour now, and match the roof

cheers guys!

 

[Knuckles]

That would really suit a cup spoiler and carbon details

 

[ElkWorks]

its got carbon mirrors already, but cant be arsed shelling out big money on a spoiler, when i dont have a job, and the car will be up for sale in the next few weeks

 

[ElkWorks]

well, cars gonna get stripped.

ive got no job again, the missus is on maternity, so money coming in is minimal, cant afford to pay the mortgage after 3 months, so gonna rip this down and get rid of it.

i'll be compiling a sales part list, and sticking it up in the next few days.

 

[Johndolan1979]

Gutted to hear that mate.

 

[ElkWorks]

the cars on the road for the next couple of weeks as the tax and mot run out the end of this month

gonna use up some lime green vinyl i have left over for the roof and wingmirrors, just to piss off the purists.

then its brake time.

already sold the following

standard rear shocks
*heko wind deflectors, and spacers (F&R)

 

[Naith]

infinitely better than the white wrap you had on. shame your out of work though, shirley your good enough to wrap now alone as a profession?

 

[PP200t]

To look at the job he does and has done on it, definitely!!

 

[ElkWorks]

well the cars now officially off the road, no tax, no mot, no insurance, i'll be compiling the list of parts and prices at the weekend in the for sale section.

hekos and skoda splitter are already gone, and the stock rear shocks are provisionally sold....
