Zara - Gloss anthracite wrap on a 182FF

[Alex Conway]

Still a few things to do like the rear lights and tints, the bodywork underneath could have been a bit less ripply (paint stripper attack which ate the plastic). Will probably replace a couple of panels, definitely the NS wing. It's difficult convincing some people that it isn't paint! The work was done by DBS Autotech in Welwyn.

That looks great!!

 

[Lawro]

That looks awesome! Silver visions, some nice clean plates and standard rear lights will finish it off a treat.

 

[McGherkin]

Oh Zara, you are a Clio.

Looks great

 

[Addicted]

Lovely colour, shame about the rear lights and tints though, get some standards!!

But as you say they're left to sort out

 

[Stefan.]

lose the tints and the rear lights and that is very nice!!

 

[Matthew]

There's an awesome car under there waiting to get out

Just a few changes needed.

My exacts thoughts with the title name.


Looks good though. Would like to see it up close and personal as everybody who mentions a gloss wrap gets told no, it looks s**t. About as glossy as a turd.

Ditch the lights ASAP!

Naughty!

Cheers for the comments! The rear lights will haunt me a bit longer I'm afraid!

 

[adi-kty-172]

[ventura]

How much for the wrap?

 

[Alex Conway]

How much for the wrap?

Was a grand, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

 

[Keith185]

Lovely colour choice

 

[beatjunkie]

For wraps, do you need to tell the insurance company as its a change of colour? Looks good though...just like paint!

 

[steve32c]

Looks good stuff the standard light brigade they actually suit the car colour, however, I do agreed that the tints are a bit much (too dark) but otherwise looks good

​Yes.

 

[Jack!]

Reminds me of the one-off car that was on here a little while ago in gun-metal grey or something along those lines where the guy made custom rear-arches? Was one of the nicest RS Clio's I've ever seen - this looks similarly top-notch, awesome colour, just needs a few things already mentioned, plus the exhaust sorting, which hasn't been mentioned.

insurance no you need to send log book off for colour change tho..may be different been wraped tho they may class it as a mod??

 

[Wayne-G]

Looks really good! As above, ditch the rear lights and fresh plates etc, will be a minter.

​Yes.

When it was wrapped white I phone Admiral and asked them if they about wraps, they had no idea what it was so I asked them how much extra it was to change the colour of the car with a sticker and the bloke said they had no mention of car colour on their records.

right i wasnt sure on if insurance company's would class it as a MOD etc...but as for colour change there is a part on V5 you fill out also will stop you getting pulled when the car comes up white and the copper is looking at a gray car

It's black on the V5, was wrapped white before I wrapped it grey. It's classed as a temporary change which the V5 has no way of logging unfortunately. I might register it over the summer when I have more time because I have no intention of unwrapping it but we will see.

 

[Tony Hunter]

It's been discussed already today, and one of the Insurance company's said, you need to inform them, doesn't mean they will charge you, but they need t know.

i would send v5 off with colour change its free and if your car gets stolen at least police would be looking for the right colour car plus wont get pulled with them thinking its a ringer etc...plus you never know with ins company's if you have a bump they allways try to find a way out of it

 

[Alex Conway]

I'll give them a ring on Monday then, nothing to loose I suppose.

what wrapping a car or colour change ?

 

[Heez]

what wrapping a car or colour change ?

Wrapping a car. Also said that the DVLA doesn't have to be informed. I would do both though just to make sure.

its only the DVLA you have to tell as car insurance company's get the details from them ie..colour/chassis/engine numbers etc....only reason i know this is i changed my Defender 90 from gray to black 2 month ago..there is also a bucklet at the post office you can get thats by the DVLA that tell you all about it

 

[Tony Hunter]

This is it.

Same as a vinyl wrap, needs to be declared. Regardless of which insurance company you are with, it needs to be declared.

Also regarding the DVLA.

The DVLA class vehicle wrapping as temporary, but you must be able to prove that it is wrapped not sprayed

yeah but to say its free to do a colour change would you not do it? save alot of hassle? car showing up a different colour on police checks? or worse case if stolen

 

[Heez]

Like I said I would phone them or go see them if I done it, just to make sure. But from what I've read I wouldn't make it a number one priority.

Regarding it being stolen, I'm pretty sure when I speak to the police to make a statement I would make them aware of the nature of the colour of car... And give them the registration number.

am sure if the car was down as the colour it should be then police anywhere in the UK would have a better chance of finding it? plus dont get pulled over with them asking why a diff colour

Because the police go around with the details of the vehicle at hand? Oh that's right they see a vehicle then run the plates.

They pull you over and you show them it's a wrap then it's fine. IME most traffic officers use common sense and will see the difference between a wrap and paint.

 

[Slammed172]

Tints literally ruin it.

Once they have been ripped off, get standard rear lights, some clean plates and a 197 badge on the left hand side, it looks bare.

Then it's thumbs up from me :star:

sorry but if the police do a check on a car and it comes back a diff colour and they dont pull it over then they aint doing there job! and if was worse case and my car was stolen i would like if it all the details match so i had the best chance of getting the car back

 

[adi-kty-172]

at end of day its free to do a colour change you can allways change it again if needed was just saying saves getting hassle from police and is good to have V5 details to match the car

 

[Cookson]

That looks properly nice!!

Why are you being such an arse over this, I don't understand.
