How to make a VRS white without paint

[rowell88]

Saw this earlier:

Tempting as the fabia would look good in white and if you didn't like it, it would just peel off

[faboka vrs]

A white fabia vRS would look great I think. Wonder how much it'll cost.

[bobjim]

i want mine doing in orange!!!!

would have thought a few hundred

Vinyl wrapping, costs about £1k

[Tom_vRS]

I think you could get the car wrapped in a single colour for about £800 I reckon.

Skoda did a full WRC style wrap for the Fabia, available as an option. Was £1500 IIRC, and is probably still available.

yeah would cost over £1k to do that and i wouldnt like to be the person peeling it back off.

[Leon-y-k]

thats So cool!

sounds much easier than spraying!!

I wonder how easy it is to keep shiney though...

I mean can it be detailed etc?

[Makefish]

I looked into doing this a little while ago but the costs were prohibitive, a full wrap on an Octy was around £1,350 and that was for just a basic single colour wrap, more fancy stuff pushed the cost up even more.

Sounds interesting.

I agree a white Fabia vRS would look great.

[KTP]

if i was confident of doing a wrap i'd have done my car long ago but i remember how much of a **** the wrc replica fabia was to do! **** that!

[andy_fabia]

What about a camoflage vynl for fabia

[djswivel]

Where would you stand legally with the colour? Would it have to be declared on the V5 as the colour has changed even though it's only a giant sticker?

Wanna practice on mine Keith ?

Wanna practice on mine Keith ?

hell no!

i think its more down to the vinyl i use is not really suitable or flexible enough for wrapping, i'd need to do a course with my supplier before they could sell me the right stuff but i've no interest in that line of work as i dont do digital printing.

heres as close as i've got to covering a fabia in vinyl..

[Johnny50]

I'm guessing the stuff needed is quite thin then ?

As apposed to the heavier stuff you use ?

Still a neat idea though, would get rid of my swirl marks at least

[KTP]

yeah needs to be thin and very stretchy with a glue that takes a bit longer to set properly to allow it to shape before sticking.

[Johnny50]

I remember seeing that at W.End.

Looked a good job Mr.

I like the WRC look. Don't think it would work on Yellow though!
