Where to get a 'wrap' in the UK?

Evening,

I am looking to have my 911t wrapped fully in a matte/flat black vinyl. Google searches seem to bring up the company 'Carbon Skin' (www.carbonskin.co.uk) and their work looks great from the gallery section. Has anyone had any experience with this company and whether their work is good quality?

Alternatively any recommendations for other companies in the W.Mids area that could do a top job at wrapping a 911 in flat black would be appreciated.

Thanks for any help with this.

R

Yes that would be me! I have seen your black turbo around a few times actually - I think I was driving behind you a couple of weeks ago on the Kenilworth > Leamington road!!

Hey mate,

Are you still thinking of getting you're car wrapped?

If you are, can I just say something.........

DON'T DO IT!

I saw your car at the petrol station tonight, and as it stood there with the forecourt lights shining down on it, it looked AMAZING!

Seriously, it looked so nice, if I were you I'd spend a little money getting it cleaned and detailed, and then do a few subtle mods to the exterior

I personally think Deans car is one of the nicest, cleanest ones I've seen on here, and I reckon you could do something as classy as that too

Haha, funny to be spotted, and thanks - it does come out really well parked on the forecourts! I just went to the M&S/BP garage on the way to Cov and it looked awesome.

Well I decided today I will definitely be keeping this car (had been considering a 997 turbo cabrio but test drove it today and whilst it was REALLY nice it is not worth the extra 50gs!!) so want to do something to make mine stand out a bit more - and a wrap seems a pretty good value way to do that.

Who is Dean on here? I will check it out just in case - but I think a matte black wrap with the right alloys would be killer!!
