ShawnPreece Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I would really consider Aston Martin Morning Frost White, There was a guy on the forum here that had his Supra done in this a couple of years back and just looked normal white in the photo's but then I saw it at Santa Pod a week or so later and was gobsmacked at how nice it was, really stood out. His thread from back then is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Had the car in the bodyshop to get the car smoothed out, all the dents removed, a few rusty patches sorted and readied to be wrapped in the liquid copper. The car wasn't quite finished but had a nice coat of white. Nothing fancy because its just going to be covered up, but just so its sealed and not primer It was so nice seeing it without the old dents and dings. But it wouldn't start so they have had to push it arround. This happened last time because the spark plugs got sooted up with it only being started and shut off without it being run up to temperature very often. So evinX helped me change the spark plugs (i say helped but all i did was take off the strut brace) because i dont know what im doing. And it fired right up without an issue. So now its off next door on wednesday to get wrapped. should be ready in 2 weeks. Then it just needs an MOT, insurance and tax before dragonball. unfortunately i forgot to take a picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Just got back after getting the wrap done. Very pleased. though the wheels and splitter are covered in dust! No supra badge as they couldnt save it. but i quite like it without. strangely. i had the supra badge with the extra "turbo" text before. ill get another if i feel like it. Off to the MOT tomorrow evening, actualy tested monday. Hope it passes. Because if it doesn't, it doesn't leave much time before dragonball on wednesday!

auzzam Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Is yours an aero top mate? If not interested to know how they wrapped the quarter panel and roof, was there a join line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Is yours an aero top mate? If not interested to know how they wrapped the quarter panel and roof, was there a join line? It's not. The join line is hidden in the small ridges along the roof. So the rear quater along above the window and down the side of the windscreen is one piece. Then the centre of the roof is another piece.

Guigsy Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Here you go mate. Bit more visible towards the rear. and you dont see it at all unless your a few ft away and kinda looking for it. there are a few other join lines. the door handles were difficult. i think he said they are 3 pieces. and the mirrors are a couple i think, the picture below has a line. but im not even sure myself if thats a join line or a line on the bodywork under it. as i think there is one there anyway. Then the insides of the openings on each side of the front bumper. The particular colour i had doesnt stretch as well as some of the other colours, so oyu might get less joins with other colours. and apparently carbon wrap is even worse because it splits easily.

mattdavies Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 That line on the wing mirror is there anyway on a painted car I believe, its certainly there on mine. It looks good, its different but not too out there. I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Have a look at Littlenums wrap on DB, his is the best I've seen, and no joins you can see. Compare yours to his to see if you've actually paid for a good job on yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Adam that looks great, I am curious to know how much the wrap ended up costing and who did it presuming it was someone local. PM me if you prefer to post. As Burna said Littlenum's car is probably the best Supra wrap I have seen to date. As I wrapped mine (6 years or more now) I apreciate how difficult it is and can imagine that finish on yours took some doing. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
